The new 2018 Mustang GT can reach 60 mph in four seconds - or less - in the Drag Strip mode, the fastest GT ever. The new GT even beats the Porsche 911 Carrera thanks to its maximum acceleration in drag strip mode, improved horsepower and torque output from the new 5.0-liter V8, a 10-speed SelectShift transmission for faster and smoother shifting, and improved traction through Michelin Tire Sport 4 custom tires. The new Mustang holds at peak engine torque and horsepower to maximize the speed of 0-60 mph acceleration, it never drops.
Increasing power and efficiency, the all-new 5.0 liter V8 engine utilizes high pressure direct injection and dual fuel technology. Another advancement to ensure that the correct gears are chosen during your drive is the electronic control system, featuring real-time shift scheduling algorithms to assist in gear selection.
Although the V8 engine has the ability to hit 60 mph in less than four seconds, there is another engine available, the 2.3L EcoBoost engine can hit the same speed in around 5 seconds. The fuel port and direct injection promise this engine will be extremely efficient and powerful.

The all-new Active Valve Performance Exhaust feature of the Mustang GT will allow you to show off that signature Mustang roar whenever you like, or keep it quiet too, at your command.
