With newly enhanced muscular styling, and chassis development, this new Mustang is clearly out there to kick some asphalt. Exterior Styling ChangesThe most significant changes to the 2013 Mustang design, are the more muscular front end modifications. All models, from the base V6 pony to the Boss 302 receive a more angular, substantial styling change, which immediately add to the already impressive performance forward styling.
2013 California Special New Front Fascia The V6 and GT models their small chin spoilers. Both receive a slightly more aggressive and powerful hood re-design. Along with these styling changes to the hood for all models, the impressive Ford coyote V8 powered 2013 Mustang GT models and the new Boss 302 cars, received and added and cool, new (and apparently functional) pair of intake louvers, which Ford refers to as heat extractors . These add-ons were designed to pull heat out of the engine compartment and aid in engine cooling. Interior StylingChanges to the interior of the 2013 Ford Mustang are relatively minor overall, but include a few particularly memorable new additions to the Boss 302 and 2013 Boss Laguna Seca models, including a really cool display function between the round speedometer cluster on the left and tach/gas/ oil display on the right.
Yep. That's right, it's a little drag racing Christmas tree, complete with settings that allow you to record and review not only your quarter mile times, but braking and handling performance! More on this in the 2013 Boss 302 section. To my mind, that's the kind of thing that should be on every Mustang model, if for no other reason than bragging rights. The other significant addition, for the 2013 Mustang V6 cars, is the ability to check the option box and get a pair of the same Recaro® bucket seats, that were previously, only available on the Boss 302 and Shelby GT500 cars. Engine and DrivetrainFord's Mustang V6 powered pony cars, received a power boost last year of almost 100 horsepower, bumping them to an impressive 305 horsepower while posting equally impressive gas mileage numbers (up to 31 mpg highway).
No new performance was added to the V6 powerplant, but the already hugely impressive and powerful Ford Coyote V8's, have received a further power bump, and now are up to 420 horsepower.
