The
fifth-generation Ford Mustang was first revealed at the 2004
North American International Auto Show. The entirely new Mustang
which Ford ntroduced was codenamed "S-197" and based on an all-new
D2C platform for the 2005 model year. The exterior styling of
the fifth generation Mustang drew heavily on the original Mustangs
of the 1960s. It was this feature which inspired Ford's Senior
Vice President of Design, J Mays, to call it "retro-futurism."
The Mustang GT features a Tremec TR-3650 transmission with an
aluminum 300 hp (224 kW) 4.6 L 3-valve Modular V8 with variable
camshaft timing. All models of the fifth-generation Mustang
retain a out-dated live axle rear suspension, and although this
helps to keep the price down many feel that modern independent
suspension would have greatly improved the handling of the car.
Especially on high-powered models.
