For the past few years, automotive manufacturers have been prepping their lineup of new cars in anticipation for 2022. Ford Motor Company is no exception. They recently unveiled the next-generation 2022 Ford Mustang with a number of advancements and improvements to keep it competitive on the market.
Some of these upgrades include an improved engine that can boast over 400 horsepower and a newly designed chassis with lower center of gravity thanks to a lowered floorboard. It will also feature numerous safety features such as lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control, collision warning with automatic braking, lane departure warning, blind spot monitoring system and 360 degree cameras which should make up for the lack of visibility from its low driving position. It will also feature a unique colour scheme with a striking white exterior that is reminiscent of the movie “Mad Max: Fury Road” and will also be available in black.
But according to Ford, this model isn’t just about having the newest Mustang, it’s about creating something new – something that can compete with the likes of the Camaro ZL1 and Chevrolet SS. In order to be competitive against these two vehicles, Ford has done its own personal modification to its Mustang lineup which will include the use of Supercharger technology – something which makes the 5.0L V8 more powerful than ever before.
Ford also announced that the new Mustang will come with a 10-speed automatic transmission as well as active exhaust technology which combined with the engine’s horsepower is expected to make it one of the fastest American muscle cars ever. A number of performance upgrades were also announced along with its release such as a 6-speed manual transmission and an air catback exhaust system that should allow it to sound more heroic than ever before.
Moving on to the new chassis, it features additional bracing and a wider track which should be able to accommodate future upgrades such as a limited slip differential. It also boasts an independent rear suspension with a multi-link design which is expected to provide a more stable driving experience. In terms of safety, Ford also announced that there are numerous passive safety features that are designed to protect the occupants while keeping the driver as well as passengers in their respective positions. Some of these include enhanced side curtain airbags and larger side impact beams which should make up for the lack of visibility from its low driving position.
Conclusion
To sum it all up, the new 2022 Ford Mustang is expected to be a better version of its predecessor. With the addition of a new engine, transmission and chassis, it shows that Ford is determined to keep their iconic pony car competitive in the performance market. The styling cues are also just as unique as before which should bring back some nostalgia to those who have driven previous models. Also previously mentioned are improvements on safety and driver conveniences, something that is expected from any modern vehicle.
