Power of the Horse in the 2016 Ford Mustang

The classic workhorse of a muscle car is back for another year in the 2016 Ford Mustang. The new 2016 Mustang is revving its engines for the new model year and comes to us with some notable upgrades that only make it more desirable than ever. Which is actually pretty hard to do considering this slice of American automotive power is already a very solid choice for drivers who want to feel like they went out and bought a ridiculous sports car without sacrificing their wallets and any practicality. The 2016 Ford Mustang gets a bit of a style upgrade which makes the vehicle look slightly more mature. Though there’s still plenty of rebellious spunk to this muscle car. Additionally, the Mustang now comes with the new Sync 3 infotainment system which has an improved interface. EcoBoost and GT coupes get the option for the black-painted roof, and the GT performance package is extended to the Ford Mustang convertible option.   The 2016 Ford Mustang follows a pretty major redesign from the 2015 year, and builds on it, refining the edges. What sets this vehicle apart from others is the fact that it’s a bit more refined than competitors in the segment. However, this doesn’t diminish its bad boy power.   The new Sync 3 touchscreen adds pinch and swipe finger commands, much like your smartphone. The five trim levels continue to give drivers with a wealth of customization options to make each 2016 Ford Mustang yours. Available in both a coupe and soft-top convertible, the Mustang provides an unforgettable experience. The Mustang sports several engine options ranging from a 3.7-liter V6 with 300 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque to the crazy powerful GT with a 5.0-liter V8 engine that puts out 435 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque. And of course there’s the EcoBoost option as well.   Overall, the 2016 Ford Mustang proves to live up to the legacy that is the Mustang. Here at O’Brien Ford of Shelbyville, we love the Mustang for its powerful design and even more powerful engines. Stop on by at 720 Mt. Eden Road today to take one for a spin.
