The fifth-generation Mustang arrived for the 2005 model year at the 2004 Detroit auto show. It received a new exterior design inspired by the original car. A new 4.0-liter V-6 was the base powertrain and the optional 4.6-liter V-8 from the previous generation carried over. For the fifth generation鈥檚 refresh in 2011, the car received a new 305-hp 3.7-liter V-6 as the base engine and a new 412-hp 5.0-liter V-8 as the optional powertrain. Both can be paired to a six-speed manual or automatic transmission. Shelby announced the return of the GT350 in 2012 with a supercharged version of the Mustang GT鈥檚 new 5.0-liter V-8. The GT500, on the other hand, reemerged with 662 hp and the Super Snake can now be had with up to 850 hp. Shelby also offered a GTS package for the Mustang in 2012 with V-6-powered variants gaining a supercharger. Originally debuting for the 2015 model year, the current sixth-generation Ford Mustang retains its retro-inspired styling but unlike its predecessors, it now has an independent rear suspension for improved ride and handling.
The latest Mustang is also now available with a 310-hp 2.3-liter EcoBoost turbo-four, slotting between the base V-6 and the Mustang GT. Ford also revived the GT350 as a track-ready variant powered by a high-revving 5.2-liter V-8 with 526 hp paired exclusively to a six-speed manual transmission. A more hardcore model called the GT350R was also added as a limited-production variant and thanks to carbon fiber wheels and an available rear-seat delete option, it鈥檚 ighter than the standard car. In a 2016 First Test of a Mustang EcoBoost we said that when equipped with the EcoBoost Performance package, the car offers excellent handling without sacrificing ride quality. The GT350, on the other hand, also proved to be well balanced thanks to its magnetic damping system, which helps ride quality without hurting the car鈥檚 handling prowess. In a comparison test against the last-generation Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, the GT350R won because of its exceptional performance on and off the track. 鈥淔loat like a Lotus, sting like a Ferrari. The GT350R outperforms the Z/28 by at least a few degrees in every measure, objective and subjective, and does it loaded with creature comforts and a better ride,鈥?we said 鈥?stay tuned for the rematch.
