The Legend Lives
It's a true automotive legend that defines high-spirited freedom and exuberant performance. And now, a whole new chapter is being written.
The 2005 Mustang is new from the ground up. . . more powerful and precise. . . more refined and responsive.. .yet a genuine Mustang, through and through.
We keep thinking about freedom, because we want you to drive a Ford.
Feel Your Pulse Race
If you live to feel your pulse race with every shift of the gears, the 2005 Mustang GT is the car you've been waiting for.
With race-proven rear-wheel drive and 300 hp, the most powerful regular-production Mustang V8 engine ever offered screams performance, right from the starting line.
It's Fast, Even Standing Still
By moving the front wheels five inches farther ahead and giving it a forward-moving profile, the Mustang design team has achieved the look of a vehicle in motion, even when it's standing still. Side C-scoop lines behind the doors and a standard rear spoiler enhance the effect.
300 Horses Worth Of Fun
Mustang GT's new 4.6L SOHC V8 engine packs a kick like no regular-production Mustang before. With 300 horsepower, sophisticated three-valves-per-cylinder architecture and variable camshaft timing, it delivers a rare blend of performance and smoothness - with the signature Mustang GT growl.
Street-Smart Traction Control
To help you maintain traction on slippery pavement, Mustang GT comes with standard all-speed traction control. By automatically detecting drive-wheel slippage and applying a combination of brake and/or engine-torque interventions, it helps a slipping wheel regain traction - and that helps you maintain better control. But it's also smart enough to know when a little bit of wheel slippage is a good thing. Like when you want to make those rear tires sing off the starting line. (Traction control is also available as part of the optional Handling Package on the Mustang V6 Coupe.)
