Ford is giving the Mustang an overall upgrade for the 2013 model year and, since we’ve already covered the insane (each in its own way) Boss 302 and Shelby GT500 versions, it is now time to talk about the “regular” Mustangs, the V6 and the GT.
The Mustang gets an exterior refresh that includes a meaner front grille, a beefier front splitter, a set of heat extractors for the GT, body-colored rocker panels, high intensity discharge headlamps (now standard across the range), as well as a new range of wheels, with sizes ranging between 16 and 19 inches.
We also get redesigned exterior mirrors that project the Ford pony logo on to the ground when you unlock the doors, redesigned taillights, connected by a high-gloss black panel. Of course, ford also offers new color, with the list including Deep Impact Blue and Gotta Have It Green.
As for the tech side of this story, the 5.0-liter V8 engine on the GT version now produces 420 hp instead of 402, there’s a GT Track Package for the GT models with a 3.72 rear axle, which includes goodies such as Brembo brakes, Torsen diff borrowed from the Boss 302 and beefier brakes.
The interior also receives a multitude of upgrades, such as new Track Apps, which allow you to know just how fast your brand ‘Stang is. The 2013 model year Mustang range is scheduled to make its debut at the LA Auto Show, with sales scheduled to kick off at the beginning of 2012.
