In celebrating 60 years of the iconic Ford Mustang, Ford is introducing a special 60th Anniversary package that pays homage to the car’s rich heritage. This limited-edition package brings back retro design elements reminiscent of the original 1964 model, with just 1,965 units being produced to mark the Mustang’s debut year.
Embracing Retro Design Cues:
The 60th Anniversary package, exclusively available in GT Premium trim with a powerful 5.0-litre V8 engine, focuses on cosmetic enhancements that evoke the classic Mustang’s iconic aesthetics. It features unique 20-inch dark grey alloy wheels with a classic five-spoke design, ‘5.0’ badges on the front fenders, and a ‘GT’ badge on the boot, reminiscent of early Mustang models.
Distinctive Exterior and Interior Features:
Included in the package are smoked-out headlamps, a retro mesh grille design with silver accents, and silver-finished wing mirror caps, capturing the essence of the original chrome detailing. Exterior color options include White, Race Red, or Vapour Blue, with contrasting stripes available in red or silver. Inside, a special 60th Anniversary plaque adorns the dashboard, and upholstery options come in shades of grey, black, or red.
Performance and Availability:
The Mustang 60th Anniversary package, exclusive to GT Premium models, maintains the robust 5.0-litre Coyote V8 engine delivering 480hp and 560Nm of torque. Customers can choose between a 6-speed manual transmission or a 10-speed automatic, with both convertible and coupe variants offered.
Additional Enhancements:
In addition to the 60th Anniversary package, Ford introduces a new Heritage gauge cluster for all 2024 Mustangs, featuring retro-themed digital dials for speed and engine RPM, reminiscent of classic Mustang instrumentation from the 1960s. This update will be delivered through an over-the-air software update for seventh-generation Mustang models.
