Regardless of whether you go with the Ecoboost, GT or Dark Horse variants of the seventh-generation Ford Mustang, you’ll see sub-5-second sprints to 100km/h. Both the turbocharged 2.3-litre and aspirated 5-litre engines are quick to redlines and urged on by snappy six-speed manual or ten-speed auto transmissions. But the Mustang offers a whole lot more than just outright speed. The distinctive styling embodied in the pair of 3 stripe tail lights harking back to the 1964 original, the huge 19-inch cast alloys and Brembo brakes all-round, paired with grippy low-profile tyres, a limited-slip diff, and paddle shifters, equate to a soul-stirring ride. The only thing missing is a decent exhaust to justify all the wild horses under the hood.
