Background & Details

For 2019, Ford continues to offer several versions of the Mustang, which now includes the EcoBoost, EcoBoost Premium, GT, GT Premium and Bullitt trim levels (new for 2019), in addition to the Shelby GT350 and GT350R.

The EcoBoost models get their motivation from a turbocharged four-cylinder, while the GT and Bullitt models come to life thanks to a 5.0L V8. Ford decided to throw the old naturally-aspirated V6 out in 2018, so base Mustangs are powered by a 2.3L turbocharged EcoBoost four-cylinder that generates 310 horsepower and 350 lb/ft. of torque. Buyers can choose either a six-speed manual or 10-speed automatic transmission.

If you enjoy the sounds of a big throaty V8, then you’ll want to go with the GT or Bullitt models. The Mustang GT is powered by a 5.0L V8 with 460 horsepower and 420 lb-ft. of torque, while the Bullitt gets an extra 20 horsepower for a total of 480 horses under the hood. The V8 can also be mated to either a six-speed manual or 10-speed automatic.

Special Edition Models & Variants

GT
