Introduction
The new Ford Mustang for Europe has been unveiled, bringing a host of updates that make it sleeker, faster, and more technologically advanced. The 2025 Ford Mustang® Dark Horse™ coupe is street legal and track-ready, featuring a modified Gen-4 5.0L Coyote™ engine. This iconic American muscle car continues to dominate the market with its impressive speed and power. The new Mustang delivers a more athletic styling, enhanced engines, sharper driving dynamics, and advanced driver assistance technologies.
Exterior Design
The new Ford Mustang retains its instantly recognizable character while delivering a sleeker, more athletic appearance. The bonnet profile is now lower with integrated air vents, combined with a revised lower grille design to give the Mustang a sharper, more aggressive face while improving aerodynamics. The rear-end design is further enhanced with a remodeled bumper and diffuser element, accommodating standard quad-tailpipes for the 5.0-liter V8 model that testifies to the power and performance available. An optional boot spoiler is also available for an even sportier profile.
Lighting and Customization
Mustang’s headlights, daytime running lights, indicators, and iconic three-dimensional tri-bar tail lights now all feature LED technology as a standard for Mustang models in Europe, with LED fog lights also available. The front headlight bezels have been restyled to reflect the trapezoidal shape of the upper grille. A wider range of customization options is available, including three bold new metallic paint colors: Kona Blue, Orange Fury, and Royal Crimson. New 19-inch forged alloy wheels are offered in multiple finishes such as Nickel, Ebony Black, and Polished Aluminum.
Interior Design
The new Mustang interior delivers a more premium feel. Soft-touch materials now feature for the door linings, and the door handles are finished in aluminum. The center console features a new hand-stitched, soft-touch wrap, finished with stitching in a contrast color for a more dynamic and upscale feel. The instrument panel surround is available in four new aluminum finishes. A Carbon Sport interior package is also available across the Mustang range, including Alcantara door and seat inserts, plus a carbon-fiber instrument panel surround and gear knob. Leather-trimmed, heated and cooled seats, and a heated steering wheel are also offered across the line-up for the first time for ultimate comfort. Customers who opt for the leather Recaro racing seat option now have a choice of three colors: Show Stopper Red, Midnight Blue, and Ebony.
Performance and Powertrain
Exhilarating performance and a fun-to-drive experience have been at the heart of the Mustang’s DNA since its launch in 1964. The new Mustang is anticipated to be the fastest accelerating ever, with an enhanced 5.0-liter V8 engine that offers an anticipated 450 PS, combining with Ford’s new 10-speed automatic transmission. The 5.0-liter V8 engine has been further developed to deliver more power and a higher rev-limit than ever before. The new Mustang 2.3-liter EcoBoost delivers 290 PS and offers a more responsive and engaging driving experience thanks to a transient overboost function for the turbocharger and Ford’s new 10-speed transmission.
Transmission
The advanced new 10-speed automatic transmission offers greater fuel efficiency and improved acceleration. The gearbox’s electronic control system enables settings that optimize performance for Drive Modes, and real-time adaptive shift-scheduling allows the transmission to adapt to changing conditions and select the right gear in any situation. Steering wheel-mounted paddle-shifters allow drivers maximum control. Ford’s six-speed manual gearbox is enhanced to manage the power of the 5.0-liter V8 engine with a twin-disc clutch and dual-mass flywheel for greater durability and quicker gear changes.
Driving Dynamics
Ford engineers have further optimized Mustang’s driving dynamics to deliver the most engaging driving experience yet. Recalibrated shock absorbers improve stability through corners, and rear suspension is stiffened with a cross-axis joint that reduces unwanted movement at each corner that can lead to body flex. Thicker anti-roll bars also better control body-roll for sharper handling. A new optional MagneRide Damping System can deliver a lightning-quick response to changing road conditions. A unique fluid inside the damper can be electronically stimulated to offer higher or lower damping resistance, depending on the driving scenario. Sensors monitor conditions one thousand times per second to ensure optimum handling performance.
Drive Modes
Two new Drive Modes are now offered to help drivers match electronic stability control, throttle response, automatic gear-shift patterns, steering, and Active Valve Performance Exhaust settings to the driving scenario. In addition to Normal, Sport, Track, and Snow/Wet Modes, a new customizable My Mode option allows drivers to tailor the driving experience to their preferences.
Active Valve Performance Exhaust
New Active Valve Performance Exhaust technology means drivers can for the first time adjust the intensity of the Mustang’s exhaust note to suit their mood and the driving scenario. The innovative Good Neighbor Mode can be programmed to automatically limit the exhaust’s noise output at pre-programmed times of the day to avoid disturbing neighbors, particularly when firing up the legendary 5.0-liter V8 early in the morning.
Driver Assistance Technologies
The new Ford Mustang will be offered to customers in Europe with a comprehensive range of driver assistance technologies including Pre-Collision Assist with Pedestrian Detection, designed to reduce the severity of and, in some cases, even mitigate frontal collisions involving vehicles and pedestrians. Mustang for the first time will also be offered with Adaptive Cruise Control and Distance Alert technologies that help drivers maintain an appropriate distance to the vehicle ahead, as well as Lane Departure Warning that can warn when drivers unintentionally drift out of lane, and Lane Keeping Aid that can apply torque to the steering wheel to steer the vehicle back into lane. These sophisticated technologies will contribute to an improved Euro NCAP safety rating.
Instrument Cluster and Infotainment
A customizable, all-digital, 12-inch LCD instrument cluster will deliver information displays optimized to match the selected Drive Mode – similar to the Ford GT supercar – helping drivers get the most from every driving experience. The cluster configuration will automatically change depending on Drive Mode and can be programmed by the driver to display a range of gauges in one of seven colors. Drivers of Mustangs equipped with the 12-inch display will see an industry-first, video-game-style animation when the Electric Line Lock feature is activated. The new Mustang also features Ford’s SYNC 3 communications and entertainment system, which allows drivers to control their connected smartphones, audio, navigation, and climate functions with conversational voice commands and by using pinch and swipe gestures on the central 8-inch touchscreen. The system is compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto™.
Conclusion
The new Ford Mustang for Europe brings a host of updates that make it a more powerful, stylish, and technologically advanced vehicle. With its sleeker design, enhanced powertrain options, and a range of new driver assistance technologies, the new Mustang continues to build on its legacy as an iconic American muscle car.
