Interior
Inside, however, the retro-style dual-cowl dashboard layout has been discarded in favour of a more modern cockpit.
There’s a 12.4-inch digital instrument cluster, with unique graphics for each drive mode.
It’s situated in a wraparound assembly alongside a larger 13.2-inch touchscreen running the Sync 4 infotainment system.
Ford says a depiction of the car’s current setup is presented using the Unreal Engine 3D creation tool used in modern video games, and you can swipe the graphic of the car to rotate it and adjust settings.

How it Drives
The 2024 Ford Mustang range is offered with a choice of three engines.
The EcoBoost Fastback uses a turbocharged 2.3-litre four-cylinder engine producing 232kW of power at 5500rpm and 475Nm of torque at 3000rpm. It’s mated exclusively with a 10-speed automatic transmission.
GT models use a naturally aspirated 5.0-litre V8 engine with 347kW at 7250rpm and 550Nm at 4850rpm, mated with either a six-speed manual or 10-speed automatic.
The Dark Horse also uses an atmo 5.0-litre V8, but with 349kW at 7250rpm and 548Nm at 4850rpm. It’s offered with either a 10-speed auto or a six-speed Tremec-sourced manual.
Manual transmissions have rev matching and autos feature paddle shifters.
The Mustang gains a new electric park brake with what Ford is calling a Drift Brake function, which is as the name suggests and which the company says is ready for a slalom course… but not public roads.
There’s a range of Track Apps accessible through the instrument cluster, including an acceleration timer, accelerometer, lap timer, line-lock, and launch control, the latter for manual models only.
The standard Active Valve Performance Exhaust can be controlled via the touchscreen or steering wheel, with Normal, Sport, Track and Quiet modes. The electric power assisted steering also has Normal, Comfort and Sport modes.
As previously confirmed, the EcoBoost engine will now be available exclusively with a 10-speed automatic transmission.
However, Ford Australia has opted not to bring the EcoBoost convertible here.
