The new Mustang leverages electronic controls to create an available pro-style hydraulic hand brake.
Ford has announced that the 2024 Mustang will get an optional drift brake—basically a hydraulic hand brake for the rear wheels.
To get one, Mustang buyers will need to choose the Performance Pack with its included Performance Electronic Parking Brake. We know that Formula Drift champion Vaughn Gittin, Jr., was involved in this feature's development; we don't know yet how much extra it will cost.inches closer and closer to production, the trickle of information out of Ford has resumed. The Dearborn-based brand has just unveiled a braking feature that will help young would-be drifters hone their skills—in a closed course, of course. Ford calls it a drift brake, but it's essentially a hydraulic hand brake for the rear wheels.
The drift brake comes on Mustangs equipped with the Performance Pack that also includes the Performance Electronic Parking Brake . The PEPB looks like a normal hand lever for the parking brake, but it is actually an electronic switch. There is no cable connected to the rear brakes like you'd see in most late-model cars. Instead, its normal action activates an electronic parking brake. But when you activate the drift brake, it takes on another role.
for the Focus RS . Its similar function used a separate lever that bolted into the cabin. The Drift Stick, which is no longer available from Ford, delivered about 180 bar to the rear brake calipers of the Focus.Kudos to Ford for developing a fun feature targeted at the enthusiast market. We guarantee some will get it super wrong at first, so if you get a 2024 Mustang, just make sure you practice when no one is around before you try to show off for a crowd. There it is.
