The 2022 Ford Mustang GT is the ultimate all-American sports coupe, supplying classic V8 power and world-class handling. The Mustang GT also comes in a very stylish package, with a blend of modern and vintage design cues inside and out.
Why choose the 2022 Ford Mustang GT?
When you upgrade to the Mustang GT trim model, you’re essentially upgrading your Mustang powertrain. Instead of the base turbocharged four-cylinder engine, the GT ratchets up the potential for speed with a classic V8 performance.
What’s under the 2022 Mustang GT’s hood?
The Mustang GT’s main draw is its 5.0-liter V8 engine (460 horsepower, 420 lb-ft of torque). With more power, this sports coupe can’t help but beat lesser models in a race. But that’s not the only upgrade you get with the GT, which also comes with upgraded brakes and rev-matching (manual transmission models only).
This Mustang powers the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transmission. However, if you don't care to switch your own gears, you can upgrade to the optional 10-speed automatic transmission.
2022 Mustang GT performance features:
- Rev-matching (manual transmission)
- Electronic line-lock
- Launch control
- Independent rear suspension
- Vented four-wheel disc power brakes
- 3.55 limited-slip rear axle (manual transmission)
- Optional 380 mm front brakes with six-piston Brembo calipers
- Optional MagneRide damping system
Which features come with the 2022 Mustang GT?
In terms of comfort and convenience features, the Mustang GT is similarly equipped to the entry-level EcoBoost trim model. It does add a power-adjustable driver’s seat, but otherwise basically sticks to the standard lineup. The good news is that the standard lineup is pretty inclusive, with comfortable front seats and smartphone-friendly features, like the 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot.
And many comfort and convenience features are available as options. You can improve comfort levels with the optional dual-zone automatic climate control. The SYNC 3 infotainment system is also optional. It includes an 8-inch central touchscreen and more robust smartphone integration via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
