The sixth generation Ford Mustang has something new for those looking for some real speed in the driving toys. The 2018 Mustang has something that the company calls the ‘Drag Strip’ mode! In this new mode, the updated Mustang does 0-60mph (roughly 97kmph) in under 4 seconds, making it the quickest accelerating GT in the nameplate’s history.
Ford has been using this as its USP for all its previous cars.It all started with the third-gen 2016 Ford Focus RS, which had a ‘Drift’ mode. The 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor, which is the go-fast version of the mid-cycle updated thirteenth-generation F-150, features a ‘Baja’ mode! Now, one of America's most famous pony cars boasts a ‘Drag Strip’ mode. The names of these modes are self-explanatory in terms of what they do.
The car is equipped with the updated Performance Pack and custom-designed Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S tyres achieves such insane acceleration figure in its new Drag Strip mode, which is one of the five driver-selectable modes available in the 2018 model. Also the 5.0 litre engine that is mated with a new 10 speed automatic gear box.
