LEANER, MEANER 2010 FORD MUSTANG MODERNIZED,
WITH MORE REFINEMENT, NEW LOOK INSIDE, OUT

* New muscular, sculptured exterior design is a modern evolution of Mustang heritage
* Powerful new interior design features world-class craftsmanship, upgraded materials and new technology
* Performance improvements – larger wheels, retuned suspension and increased horsepower – developed from engineering experience on the race track and from special editions including the Mustang Bullitt

Muscle goes modern for 2010 as the Ford Mustang – America's favorite muscle car for 45 years straight – hits the streets with a new exterior design; new world-class interior featuring well-crafted materials and updated technology; and a V-8 with even more horsepower and an even throatier signature Mustang exhaust sound.

Combine those elements with the new Mustang's improved handling characteristics, more standard safety and technology features and its already-strong safety and quality performance and reputation, and it's easy to see how the muscle car known around the world delivers on the promise of fast, fun and affordable performance for a whole new era.

More than 9 million customers have made Mustang one of the world's most beloved automotive and cultural icons, said Mark Fields, Ford's president of The Americas. Making sure this modern legend lives up to their expectations has been a driving force for the team, which went to great lengths – gathering customer input everywhere from race tracks to Main Streets in cities throughout the U.S. – working to create the best Mustang ever.

For 2010, the team delivered. The new Mustang marks new levels of both power and refinement, said Paul Randle, Mustang chief engineer. We've designed and engineered this to be the next classic Mustang that everyone talks about for years and years.

In true Mustang tradition, there is a steed for every need. At launch, customers can choose from a V-6 or V-8 with their choice of coupe, convertible or innovative glass roof, plus several new options and features delivering the opportunity for customers to personalize their cleaner, meaner-looking Mustangs.
