If you’re in the market for a coupe that is affordable, sporty, and fun to drive, the 2023 Ford Mustang is a great choice. Ford has made enhancements across the Mustang lineup, such as technology and performance upgrades, while maintaining its accessible pricing and the distinctive timeless design that has made it an American icon.
As a classic American muscle car, the Mustang has been pushing boundaries for decades. The 2023 model has plenty of exciting features, including the heart and soul of the Mustang: its engine. There are two engine options available on 2023 Mustangs, the more powerful of the two is a 5.0L Coyote V8 that puts out 450 horsepower and 410 ft-lbs of torque. You’ll find this engine configuration on the GT, GT Premium, Mach 1, and Mach 1 Premium trim packages.
6-Speed Manual Transmission
While many car pundits believe manual transmissions will go the way of landlines and video rental stores, Ford has bucked the naysayers and made stick shift the standard on every 2023 Mustang. The Mustang’s short shifter throws provide positive internal shift stops and full gear synchronization. For the die-hard manual transmission drivers, Ford has outfitted the GT, GT Premium, and Mach 1 trim packages with a TREMEC six-speed with rev-matching.
MagneRide Suspension Damping System
Instead of equipping the Mustang’s suspension system with a traditional damper, Ford chose MagneRide so the daily driver who also likes to take their car to the track on the weekends doesn’t have to sacrifice comfort for handling (and vice versa). MagneRide systems rely on a proprietary blend of iron particles and synthetic oil that, when exposed to magnetic fields, line up and make the fluid denser. The end result is a car with an active suspension that is comfortable to ride in and responsive.
Convertible
For decades, Ford has given Mustang owners the choice of a convertible top. Every trim package across the 2023 Mustang lineup includes the optional iconic convertible top or a hard-top fastback configuration. For those who crave the wind in their hair as they cruise around town with the top down, the 2023 Mustang convertible stands out from the pack.
Selectable Drive Modes
The 2023 Mustang has a drive mode selector that enables drivers to optimize the car’s performance and handling across different situations. Available selections include Normal, Slippery, Sport, Track, and Drag Strip modes, each of which has been designed to help the driver safely navigate any scenario with confidence and precision.
The drive mode feature on the 2023 Mustang lineup gives you full control over the vehicle, whether you are running errands around town on a snowy Saturday or unleashing your Mustang on a local track day. If you’d like to test the drive mode feature for yourself, stop by Bill McCandless Ford and take a new Mustang for a test drive today.
