Following its debut back in September, Ford Authority has spotted a number of 2024 Ford Mustang models out and about, including a GT coupe, an EcoBoost base model, an EcoBoost convertible, and the higher-performance Dark Horse. Now, we’ve also obtained exclusive photos of a 2024 Ford Mustang EcoBoost equipped with the Performance Pack, this time finished in a red hue.
There are a few telltale signs that this 2024 Ford Mustang EcoBoost is equipped with the the optional Performance Pack – most notably, its 390-millimeter front and 355-millimeter rear Brembo brakes, wider rear wheels and tires, and the optional active exhaust. The EcoBoost Performance Pack also includes a front tower brace, a Torsen limited-slip differential, and optional MagneRide active suspension and Recaro seats. The GT Performance Pack builds upon that by adding brake ducts and an auxiliary engine oil cooler, too.
The 2024 Ford Mustang EcoBoost also differs from the GT in terms of its exterior design, with the latter featuring larger, more aggressive grille openings that are engineered to increase airflow, as well as new hood vents and a redesigned front splitter. A grand total of 11 exterior color options are available, as well as new stripe colors and designs, and customers can choose from three Brembo brake caliper color options – black, red and Grabber Blue, along with alloy wheels ranging in size from 17 inches to 20 inches.
While the base models come equipped with a brand new version of the turbocharged Ford 2.3L I-4 EcoBoost powerplant, the S650 version isn’t available with a six-speed manual transmission, as that gearbox has been reserved for the V8-powered models. Ford hasn’t yet released power figures for either new engine, but as Ford Authority exclusively reported yesterday, the GT’s naturally-aspirated Ford 5.0L V8 Coyote will generate the same 450 horsepower as the current S550 model.
The all-new 2024 Ford Mustang is scheduled to launch in the summer of 2023, and will continue to be produced at the Flat Rock Assembly plant in Michigan.
