EcoBoost models have a turbocharged 2.3-liter 4-cylinder engine that gets a welcome boost in torque this year. Three engines are now available for the 2018 Mustang, with even the least making over 300 ponies. The retuned suspension, especially with MagnaRide adjustable shocks, produce a no-compromises combination of comfortable ride and nimble handling. That was exotic supercar speed just a few years ago, and the V8’s rumble and roar are pure Americana. Ford claims it sprints to 60 mph in less than four seconds. The GT is even quicker with its 5.0-liter V8, which now makes 460 horsepower. McQueen and his Highland Green fastback in your dust. The same holds true for the standard EcoBoost 2.3-liter 4-cylinder: Not only does it produce a satisfying growl from underhood, but its 310 horsepower gives it a 0-60 mph time of less than 5 seconds - performance that rivals many of the V8 engines from the Mustang’s past. With the revised V8’s higher redline, the 10-speed keeps the peaky engine singing, with revs dropping ever so slightly, reminding one more of a motorcycle than muscle car. Drive a 2018 Mustang with the new 10-speed automatic transmission back-to-back with the older car’s 6-speed auto, and the differences couldn’t be more stark.
