Few reasons are needed to convince someone to buy a Ford Mustang. This historic sports car has so many outstanding features that it sells itself. The 2018 Ford Mustang continues to improve on those features to make it worth your while to upgrade this year.

Performance

The Mustang has always had impressive performance and one wouldn’t think much could be improved. Ford has come through yet again in that department, tweaking the drivetrain for overall improvement on performance.

The six-speed standard has a dual-mass flywheel and twin-disc clutch that improve torque and clutch modulation. The new 10-speed automatic transmission has quick shift times and more power for quicker acceleration.

Testing out this year’s Mustang on the track is made easier with Launch Control and Electronic Line-Lock that utilizes advanced technology to create balance between the gas and brake pedals, allowing the front brakes to lock and releases the back brakes.

Safety

Sports cars are not necessarily known for their smooth ride, but this year’s Mustang has MagneRide, a magnetic damper system that comes with the optional package. This system adjusts for changing road conditions 1,000 times per second.

The Ford Mustang engineers took advantage of the latest safety technology with the 2018 model. The 2018 Mustang comes with Pre-Collision Assist with Pedestrian Detection, Lane-Keeping system, and the Blind Spot Information System. It also comes with front, side, overhead, and knee air bags, as well as the ABS brake system and stability control.

Even if you’re not a Mustang fan, go take this year’s model for a test drive. You may find yourself wanting to upgrade.
