It may be entering its middle age, but there appears to be plenty of life left in Ford's 55-year-old Mustang"pony car."
"We broke the mold when Ford launched the Mustang 55 years ago," said Jim Farley, Ford's president of global markets. With the HPP model joining other recent upgrades, including the Mustang Shelby GT500, he added, it's"no wonder it's the most popular sports coupe in the world." And because the new version is 200 pounds lighter, it can give a good run to the much more powerful Ford GT, especially on tight and twisty roads, said Carl Widmann, Mustang's chief engineer.
Widmann noted that his engineering team is always looking for ways to boost Mustang's performance — critical when going up against aggressive competitors like the Chevy Camaro and Dodge Challenger.
