2024 Ford Mustang First Drive: No Longer Just for Purists
Arcadia, CA - Nine years after introducing the sixth generation of its legendary Mustang, Ford is ready with Gen 7, coming for the 2024 model-year.

At the front, the grille takes up more space and the headlamps have been redesigned, as have the bumper and diffuser. The front ends of the 4-cylinder EcoBoost version and the V8-powered GT variant also distinct from each other; the latter features an air extractor on the hood.

The dashboard, which up to now had retained a fairly traditional appearance even with a screen available in the instrument cluster, is now dominated by two screens grouped together, angled 10 degrees towards the driver.
Overall, the new Mustang gets a more modern presentation. It will be interesting to see what the purists think. In any case, that's certainly the biggest shock with this new generation. Note that with each model, you can opt for a sporty exhaust system . This de facto places four tailpipes at the rear, making it easy to recognize which model you’re looking at. With the 4-cylinder, I'd avoid this expense. On the other hand, with the V8 under the hood, the symphonic response is all the more pleasurable under acceleration. Great added value.

That's part of the Mustang experience, it must be said. Feeling that the rear end is sometimes unstable under braking, or chasing the car out of a corner under acceleration, requires constant concentration and intense commitment behind the wheel.
