Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 More than 60 years ago, the Ford Mustang was created with a magic formula that has served it well. It's always been a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive two-door with sporty bucket seats and a small backseat. With a long hood and short rear deck, the Mustang looks powerful and sporty, even in base-level trims. Ford has recently dropped most of its car line, leaving just the Mustang and specialty Ford GT among a host of SUVs and pickup trucks.
For 2022, Ford is bypassing major changes to the Mustang in favor of freshening the lineup with five new special-edition models. The Mustang is one of those rare vehicles that can justify a very wide price spread. A basic Mustang EcoBoost Fastback has a starting price of just over $28,000, while the Shelby GT500 has a base price of more than $70,000. Options can push that price to about $100,000. The 2022 Ford Mustang coupe is available in six trim levels: EcoBoost, EcoBoost Premium, GT, GT Premium, Mach 1, and Shelby GT500. Convertibles and Premium trims are limited to the EcoBoost and GT trims. The convertibles cost about $5,000 more than the equivalent coupes.
The GT Premium is the popular trim, but we recommend the GT. The Ford Mustang's base engine is a turbocharged 310-horsepower 2.3-liter four-cylinder backed by a six-speed manual transmission or an optional 10-speed rev-matching automatic. The high-performance 2.3-liter brings output to 330 hp. Both four-cylinder-equipped Mustangs are well-balanced and fun to drive. For more power, the GT has a 5.0-liter V8 rated at 450 hp. Buyers choose between a six-speed manual and 10-speed automatic. The Mach 1 has a 470-hp version of the 5.0-liter V8 and uses a six-speed rev-matching manual or 10-speed automatic. Finally, there is the Shelby GT500 with its 5.2-liter supercharged V8 delivering 760 hp and 625 pound-feet of torque. It's matched to a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic that allows rapid manual gear selection. If high fuel economy is important, consider the EcoBoost models.
According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Ford Mustang with the base 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder and automatic transmission gets an estimated 21 mpg during city driving and 32 mpg on the highway. A 5.0-liter V8-equipped Mustang GT with automatic transmission earns 15/24 mpg city/highway. Manual transmissions drop those numbers by about 1 mpg.
