The Ford Mustang has always been about freedom. It makes sense when you think about its name. Surprisingly, how the Mustang got its name is actually a major topic of controversy among some people. Regardless of the true origin of the name, what has stuck around when it comes to the Mustang is the principle of free-roaming horses, as well as P-51 Mustang planes. The Pony car has long been combined with both icons, both in photography and videography, as well as special edition P-51-inspired models.
2024 Ford Mustang Engines
With the introduction of the new, 2024 Ford Mustang, people are customizing their cars through orders like never before. Starting at just $32,515, the new car is a bargain for its feature set and performance. Under the hood is your choice of either a 2.3-liter EcoBoost Turbocharged Inline-4 cylinder engine producing 315 horsepower and 330 lb-ft of torque. V8 Mustangs feature the 5.0-liter Coyote naturally-aspirated V8 that produces 480 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque. The top-of-the-line Dark Horse keeps the Coyote and takes it to 500 horsepower and 418 lb-ft of torque.
Transmissions
2024 Mustangs with the EcoBoost engine only come with the 10-speed automatic transmission, while the GT buyers choose between a 6-speed manual or the 10-speed. Dark Horse models get the Tremec TR-3160, the transmission that was in the 2015-2020 GT350, and the 2021-2022 Mach 1. Standard GT Mustangs get the tried and true MT-82 6-speed manual.
Option and Color Take Rates
According to Ford, 27% of all orders thus far have been placed with the manual transmission. Interestingly, 50% of EcoBoost buyers have opted for the Electronic Drift Brake when optioning the High-Performance Package, which is a higher take rate than on EcoBoost HPP cars over the past 3 years.
Of all the available options on the 2024 Mustang GT, 22% have opted for the Performance Package, and 26% have checked the box for the Nite Pony Package. The Nite Pony Package includes a black grille, roof, wheels, badges, rear spoiler, mirror caps, and black bezel headlamps.
The top color choices owners have chosen for EcoBoost and GT cars have been, 17% Shadow Black, 13% Oxford White, and 11% Rapid Red. Dark Horse customers have overwhelmingly preferred Blue Ember at a take rate of 39%, 18% for Vapor Blue, and 16% chose Shadow Black.
