A "back to the future" all new version of Ford's venerable Mustang sports coupe debuts for 2005 that combines retro-themed styling with modern underpinnings. Its new look is reminiscent of the 1967 original, with a long hood, short rear deck, three-element taillamps, side "C scoops," and galloping horse emblem. Inside styling is likewise retrospective, and is highlighted by a symmetrically shaped cockpit-like instrument panel and a three-spoke steering wheel. The original pony car rides on a newly developed chassis, however, and comes powered by a standard 210-horsepower 4.0-liter V-6 engine. The GT model goes several laps quicker by offering an updated iteration of the previous generation's 4.6-liter V-8. The latter has been updated with all-aluminum construction with three valves per cylinder, and generates 300 horsepower and 315 lb-ft of torque. A five-speed manual transmission is standard, with a new five-speed automatic transmission with manual-shift capability available. Among the new Mustang's optional features will be a head-banging 1000-watt audio system.

Preview: 2005 Ford Mustang by Marty Padgett (1/5/2004)
No more warmed-up leftovers for America's pony car.
