Fifty-five years ago, on April 17, 1964, the original Ford Mustang was introduced to the world. The original projected sales for the Mustang was 100,000 cars annually. The first day the Mustang was available, there were 22,000 orders for the car. Within the first year on the market, there were 417,000 Mustangs sold.
The 2019 Mustang is a member of the sixth generation of Mustangs sold. There have been updates and changes since the car was introduced in the 60’s, but the Mustang still delivers the power and performance expected from a sports car. With an overall score of 8.6, the Mustang has been ranked number 2 in Sports Cars by U.S. News and World Report.
2019 Ford Mustang Performance
The 2019 Mustang offers either a 310 horsepower, four-cylinder engine or a 460 horsepower V8 as the main engine choices for the line. A six-speed manual transmission is the standard transmission, but a ten-speed automatic transmission is available as well. For consumers looking to boost fuel efficiency, there is a 2.3 liter EcoBoost engine available. The cream of the crop of engine choices for the Mustang is the 5.0 liter V8. The 5.0 is available in the GT and Bullitt models, and it is the engine of choice for those wanting a thrill when behind the wheel.
2019 Ford Mustang Safety
The 2019 Mustang earned a 5-star overall safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. A rear-view camera and the Ford MyKey system are standard safety features. The MyKey system is a nice feature for those who have younger drivers in the household. MyKey allows the vehicle’s owner to regulate the top speed, give additional reminders to fasten the seatbelts, block satellite radio stations that have explicit content and provide an earlier warning when fuel levels are getting low. Other advanced safety features that are available on some models include adaptive cruise control, automatic high beams, rear parking sensors, blind spot monitoring, forward collision alert with brake support, rear cross traffic alert, pre-collision assist with pedestrian detection and active braking, lane keep assist and rain-sensing windshield wipers.

For 2019, the Mustang has a special edition to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Steve McQueen’s portrayal of Lieutenant Frank Bullitt in the movie “Bullitt”. The Bullitt edition is only available as a fastback. There is no convertible available for this model. The Bullitt has a more powerful V8 engine, an upgraded suspension, less exterior badging, leather-trimmed seats with dark green stitched accents and an all digital instrument cluster that is 12 inches.
