- Unique Black Billet Grille (upper and lower) with Tri-Bar Pony Badge (w/o fog lamps)
- Unique GT/CS Side Stripes and “5.0” fender badge
- Unique Hood Stripes
- Lower Fascia with fog lamps and air splitter
- Unique 19″x8.5″ Black Painted / Machined-Aluminum Wheels
- Unique Decklid Badge
- Unique I/P Finish Panel

As for power, the 2013 GT/CS also got Ford’s 5.0-liter DOHC V-8 which was found on the Mustang GT Premium as well that was good for an easy 412 horsepower.
