Five decades after debuting one of the world’s most popular cars, Ford is marking the milestone by revealing a Mustang 50 Year Limited Edition, which debuts today at New York Auto Show.
Based on the 2015 Mustang GT fastback with performance pack, the Mustang 50 Year Limited Edition is designed to provide customers with outstanding performance and a unique appearance that will be instantly recognizable on the road. It is equipped with a Brembo braking system and 19-inch alloy wheels with high-performance Y-speed-rated Pirelli P-Zero summer tires.
The only options for the special edition are the choice of two exclusive colors (Wimbledon White or Kona Blue) and a six-speed manual or automatic transmission.
Inside, the cabin has a cashmere-stitched, leather-covered steering wheel. The stitching is also used on the instrument panel, shifter boot, center armrest, door inserts and seats. The seats feature exclusive two-tone cashmere and black leather upholstery with the Mustang 50 Year logo on the seat backs.
Motivation is provided by a 5.0-liter V8 naturally-aspirated engine which produces more than 420 hp and 528 Nm of torque. When equipped with the six-speed automatic transmission, the car will get a limited-slip rear differential with a 3.55:1 final-drive. Customers who opt for the six-speed manual will get a Torsen differential with a 3.73:1 final-drive ratio.
Only 1,964 units will be built when the Mustang 50 Year Limited Edition goes on sale this fall.
