Some American legends are built, not born. The 2011 Ford Mustang, the newest in the long Mustang line, easily falls into the former category. Available in V6, V6 Premium, GT, and GT Premium trims and in coupe and convertible body styles, the 2011 Mustang is powered by one of two new engine choices. Both featuring cold air induction and Twin independent Variable-Cam Timing (TiVCT), you can pick between a 3.7-liter V6 engine that generates 305 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque or a 5.0-liter V8 engine that features an aluminum block and puts out a powerful 412 horsepower and 390 pound-feet of torque. These engines can be paired with one of two revamped new transmissions: either the standard new 6-speed manual or the optional new 6-speed automatic transmission. With the manual, the GT gets fuel economy of 17 city/26 highway and the V6 reaches 19 city/29 highway; equipped with the automatic, the GT attains 18 city/25 highway while the V6 achieves a startling 19 city/31 highway. Aiding these numbers is the responsive new Electronic Power Assist Steering (EPAS) that boosts fuel economy as well as vehicle maneuverability.
On the exterior, a number of features and options have been added. Along with V6 trims gaining dual exhaust, 2011 Mustangs also get an impressive 11 different wheel choices and 3 new exterior colors to choose from, namely Ingot Silver, Yellow Blaze Tri-Coat, and Race Red. Another feature available for 2011 is the new SPF 50-tinted glass roof; made out of laminated safety glass with a polyvinyl layer for added quietness, it gives you an open-air feeling yet still maintains its 5-star crash-test rating. Move inside and the advanced technology adds even more luxury to this American sports car. With SIRIUS Traffic, SIRIUS Travel Link, and a 10GB hard drive capable of storing 2,400 songs, the voice-activated Navigation System provides you with all the information and music you could need. Speaking of music, you can jam to your tunes courtesy of one of two sound systems: an 8-speaker 500-watt Shaker 500 AM/FM/ CD/MP3 sound system or a premium 10-speaker 1,000-watt Shaker 1000 AM/FM/ CD/MP3 sound system complete with 4 subwoofers. SIRIUS Satellite Radio with The Best of XM, new for 2011, ups your auditory experience. Plus, since the Mustang is a Ford, it means you also have access to SYNC. Use simple voice commands and control most MP3 players and Bluetooth-enabled phones, search for businesses, access 911 Assist and Vehicle Health Reports, receive real-time traffic updates and turn-by-turn navigation, and more. Packages available on the Mustang include the new Mustang Club of America Package, new California Special Package, and Premier Trim with Color Accent Package.
For safety, every Mustang comes with standard industry-first MyKey that allows you to program top speed and audio volume limits, keep important safety features from being cut off, and more. Also standard on all Mustangs is AdvanceTrac Electronic Stability Control (ESC), letting you maintain control on even the worst roads and in the worst driving conditions; it can even be turned on and off or put in Sport mode for a more exciting driving experience. The available Rearview Camera System, meanwhile, keeps you protected when you shift into reverse, displaying what is behind you on either rearview mirror or on the Navigation System screen (if equipped). Other safety features include a Tire-Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), SOS-Post Crash Alert System, Personal Safety System, Remote Keyless Entry System, SecuriLock passive anti-theft system (PATS), dual front airbags, driver and passenger side airbags, and more. Iconic and far from ordinary, the 2011 Ford Mustang takes everything great about the legendary Mustang and makes it even better.
