The 2024 Ford Mustang GT Makes it Hard to Transition to the Electric Segment

The 2024 Ford Mustang GT is a dream come true for car enthusiasts. The Coyote engine produces an exhilarating roar that never fails to excite anyone within earshot. With the press of a button, GT fans can experience a powerful and unforgettable vibration. The optional exhaust system also allows enthusiasts to choose between a loud, attention-grabbing sound or a more subtle, low rumble. Ford Mustang GT drivers can open the valves for a loud and powerful engine sound or close them for a quieter boom in the background.

Despite this, the updated 5.0-liter engine produces enough low-end torque, so revving it to take off is unnecessary. The power increases in a classic atmospheric way, making it a pleasure to accelerate towards the redline. The accelerator of the Mustang GT is sharp. The accelerator has a near-electric vehicle responsiveness, making it easy to move forward with a slight movement from the driver’s ankle, even at a slow pace.

The six-speed transmission of the Mustang GT requires some effort from the driver as it demands physical strength to move between the short throws. However, the shifter’s location on the center tunnel showcases the Mustang’s ergonomic refinement and can easily accommodate taller drivers like the author, who is 6-foot-10. The clutch takeup is good, and drivers can shift quickly or smoothly as per their preference. The transmission features automatic rev-matching on downshifts, which can be digitally assisted, but enthusiasts may turn it off via the touchscreen.

The electronic handbrake for drift has yet to be tested by the public, as some have deemed it unnecessary. However, it still serves its purpose as a standard handbrake. The rubbery resistance of the electronic handbrake may feel unusual at first when compared to the notchy, cable-actuated handles of older models. Additionally, the electronic handbrake returns to its resting position after being pulled, which may take some getting used to. Ford Mustang drivers can release the handbrake by nudging it down or pulling it away.

The Mustang GT boasts a delightful electronic interface, which includes a remarkable by-wire brake pedal. The brake pedal exhibits the right amount of softness at the top, allowing easy and smooth stops during everyday driving. However, it stiffens up significantly when needed, instilling confidence-inspiring deceleration. The brake pedal consistency remains the same throughout spirited driving in any season, whether summer or winter.

The Ford Mustang GT offers MagneRide suspension dampers as an optional feature. These dampers provide a perfect balance of comfort and stability, making them ideal for all driving conditions, whether a crowded city commute or a thrilling canyon drive. Even in the firmest setting, the sports car remains stable and poised without being too harsh or uncomfortable. On the other hand, the softest mode offers excellent comfort without compromising the car’s handling while turning a corner. During long highway drives, the MagneRide suspension dampers demonstrate their touring capabilities, while on winding roads, they provide a smooth and sophisticated connection with the road. These features make the Mustang GT a car with exceptional versatility and capability.

The 2024 Ford Mustang GT or the S650 may be the last manual pony car with a V-8 engine, making it even more valuable. However, the 2024 model year is only the start of the next chapter in the Ford Mustang V-8 story, so we look forward to the excitement to come.
