The sixth generation of the pony car is being showcased in the metal at the North American International Auto Show where visitors can take a closer look at the Convertible which looks virtually the same as the coupe – from which it borrows the three engines – with the exception of the multi-layer cloth top providing extra insulation for a quieter cabin. The Blue Oval company says the top can now be lowered twice as fast compared to its predecessor. Ford is also exhibiting the range-topping Mustang GT with its V8 5.0-liter engine delivering more than 420 bhp (313 kW) and a maximum torque of 390 lb-ft (528 Nm). The GT variant comes equipped as standard with launch control system that according to Ford provides “smooth, consistent starts every time.”
