Three Roaring Engines

The 2026 Ford Mustang is available with three different engine options, each more powerful than the last. Here’s a look at each one:

• 3-liter EcoBoost® with up to 315 horsepower paired with a ten-speed automatic transmission
• 480-hp 5.0-liter Ti-VCT engine, which teams up with a standard ten-speed automatic transmission or an available six-speed manual transmission with rev matching
• Modified 5.0-liter Coyote™ engine that growls at up to 500 horsepower and can be paired with an available TREMEC® six-speed manual transmission with rev matching

Each option also provides incredible torque. While the smaller engine delivers up to 350 lb-ft, the 5.0-liter can crank at up to 415 lb-ft, and the most robust option increases that to 418 lb-ft.

Performance-Enhancing Components

You’ll have no problem controlling the immense power of the 2026 Ford Mustang. After all, you’ll have the benefit of rear-wheel drive, electronic stability control, and selectable-effort electric power-assisted steering there to help. Regardless of whether you choose the standard 18-inch wheels or available 19 or 20-inch options, you’ll have all the road grip you need to hug every curve.

The latest model features an available MagneRide® adaptive damping system, which constantly adjusts suspension firmness to improve cornering precision and ride quality. For even sharper handling, buyers can opt for the Performance Pack, adding a Torsen® limited-slip differential, Brembo® brakes, larger sway bars, and upgraded cooling systems designed for track-ready consistency.

Additionally, the Mustang’s advanced drive modes — including Sport, Track, Drag Strip, and customizable settings — allow drivers to tailor throttle response, shift behavior, and steering feel to their preferred driving style. These features round out the sports car’s capability, making it as composed on the track as it is thrilling on the street.
