What’s new for the 2026 Ford Mustang?

Is the 2026 Fox-Body Mustang real?
Yes! Ford is reviving the Fox Body for 2026 — in spirit, anyway. This year’s Mustang GT Premium is available with the all-new FX Package, an appearance kit that adds styling you’ll recognize from the 80s- and 90s-era Fox-Body Mustang. For maximum nostalgia, select the new Adriatic Blue exterior, a close match for the Fox Body’s rad teal paint.

How much horsepower does the 2026 Ford Mustang produce?
Powertrain specs haven’t changed for 2026, and that means you can choose between three high-speed options. Since availability is related to each trim model, the Mustang EcoBoost and EcoBoost Premium trims set you up with the best blend of power (315 hp) and fuel economy (26 mpg combined (22 city/33 highway)). For extra momentum, upgrade to one of the Mustang GT or Dark Horse trims! Both are equipped with the infamous 5.0-liter Coyote V8, but the Dark Horse is the only Mustang to feature a high-output version (and 500 horsepower)!
2026 Mustang Powertrain Specs
- EcoBoost models: Turbocharged 2.3L four-cylinder EcoBoost engine (315 horsepower, 350 lb-ft of torque)
- Mustang GT models: 5.0L V8 (480 hp, 415 lb-ft)
- Dark Horse models: 5.0L V8 (500 hp, 418 lb-ft)
- Six-speed manual or 10-speed automatic transmission
