If you are as slow as slowpoke over here and had no clue about it, here's the news for you. The legendary Ford Mustang will be making it's way to Malaysia, estimated by the end of this year. However, it will be skipping the 3.7 variant, bringing the 2.3L Ecoboost and the 5.0L V8. Both models might be made available in Fastback or Convertible.
The color, ruby red is probably one of the sexiest colors on a car I would've seen, but it is also a bit too flashy for my preference. But then again, it's a Mustang. It got to be flashy.
The exterior design of the 2014 Mustang is extremely sharp giving the car a very mean look, a far better appeal than the ones before.
Gazing high-intensity discharge (HID) headlamps with signature LED lighting and tri-bar taillamps with the famous Mustang sequential turn signals is killer just by the looks of it
The rear is fitted with standard signature LED tri-bar taillamps with sequential turn signals
Dual exhaust pipes are standard on all models, and air extractor hood vents are standard on GT models
2.3L Ecoboost
"Exhilarating power combined with efficiency that performance drivers will call icing on the cake with 310 hp and 320 lb.-ft. of torque. And best-in-class EPA-estimated 21 city/32 hwy/25 combined mpg**. A new optimally sized twin-scroll turbocharger separates the exhaust runners in two chambers that run all the way to the turbine. This transfers high-pulse energy to the turbine wheel, resulting in ultra-fast time-to-torque. If that sounds too technical, don’t worry - you’ll understand when your foot presses the gas. To put the numbers in perspective, consider this: This new EcoBoost engine has more horsepower with only half the displacement of the 2005 Mustang GT 4.6L V8. That’s incredible progress in just 10 years."
POWER: 314PS
TORQUE: 434 Nm

5.0L GT
"From the deep, guttural rumble at idle, to the wide-eyed force of torque in acceleration, the available 5.0L Ti-VCT V8 engine is the stuff of Mustang legend. And this year, it’s even more powerful with 435* hp and 400 lb.-ft. of torque.* The advanced engine is intended to maximize power generation from every compression, with larger intake and exhaust valves, new cylinder heads with revised high-flow ports and new intake and exhaust camshafts with increased lift."
TORQUE: 528 Nm
