Available in Coupe and Convertible guise, the European-spec model closely mirrors its American counterpart and features a muscular design infused with classic styling cues. Highlights include slim LED headlights, an aggressive grille, and a revised color palette that includes three new hues known as Blue Ember, Vapor Blue, and Yellow Splash.
Ford also stated that the convertible has a "fully covered and insulated roof" and that the top can be raised and lowered in eight seconds. Despite the retractable top, there's still enough room in the model's trunk to fit two golf bags.
The interior features the familiar 12.4-inch digital instrument panel and 13.2-inch infotainment system. The latter has wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, as well as 5G connectivity for streaming music and showing real-time traffic information. The display also runs the Unreal game engine, allowing for immersive graphics as well as extensive customization.
The Euro-spec Mustang GT features a 5.0-liter V8 engine that produces 440 hp (328 kW / 446 PS) and 398 lb-ft (540 Nm) of torque. That's significantly less than the US-spec model, which produces 480 hp (358 kW / 487 PS) and 415 lb-ft (562 Nm) of torque. The available active valve performance exhaust pushes the US figures even higher, to 486 hp (362 kW / 493 PS) and 418 lb-ft (566 Nm).
The engine can be connected to a six-speed manual or a ten-speed automatic. The Performance Package comes standard and includes Brembo brakes as well as a limited-slip differential. Customers will also be able to get the optional MagneRide suspension, which adjusts a thousand times per second to deliver the "best possible control and comfort."
Customers looking for more power can opt for the Dark Horse, which features an upgraded 5.0-liter V8 engine with 447 hp (333 kW / 453 PS) and 398 lb-ft (540 Nm) of torque.
Government shenanigans can probably be blamed for the reduced output, but the model "benefits from unique chassis tuning including larger rear anti-roll bars, heavy-duty front shock absorbers, front strut tower brace and rear K-brace." The model also features 19-inch wheels wrapped in Pirelli P Zero PZ4 tires.
Other highlights include a variety of transmissions and the standard Performance Package. The latter adds an auxiliary engine oil cooler, a lightweight radiator and a rear axle cooler. Buyers will also find a limited-slip differential and an electronic drift brake "designed for both novices and experts to improve their drifting skills."
Drifting aside, there's a host of driver assistance systems that include smart adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go, lane-keeping assist and evasion assist.
The redesigned pony car is now available for order in Europe, with the Mustang GT starting at €59,900 in Germany.
