What’s New for the 2019 Ford Mustang?
Everyone’s favorite sports coupe is back, and it promises to remain the best-selling sports car in the world for 2019. The 2019 Ford Mustang lineup features an all-new Ford Mustang Bullitt model that brings back memories of the 1968 movie “BULLITT.” The third generation of the Mustang Bullitt promises to enhance its classic features by packing it with modern technology and power.
The California Special Package gives you options to customize your GT Premium for an extra punch, while a refreshed color palette is found across the lineup. New colors include Dark Highland Green, Need For Green, and Velocity Blue, while Royal Crimson, Triple Yellow, and Lightning Blue are no longer options for the 2019 Mustang. You can now choose from 14 different styles of wheels to achieve that perfect ride. The interior is also updated, with new technology, safety, and convenience systems finding their way into the 2019 Mustang lineup as well, such as an all-new B&O PLAY premium audio system available starting on the EcoBoost Premium Convertible.
The specs for the Shelby GT350 and Shelby GT350R have not yet been released, though we know it’s been updated to include a new spoiler, new tires and wheels, and new technology inside, so keep an eye out for more information about those models.
