The ‘FX’ cosmetic package for the Ford Mustang GT is pure ‘80s vibes

Ford is rolling back the decades with this styling pack for the Mustang GT, which incorporates various elements reminiscent of the Fox Body generation from the Eighties. It’s as retro as a slightly worn pair of Nike Blazers, we reckon. Which is very.

Christened the ‘FX’ package, the grille nostrils, badging and reimagined split-spoke 19in alloys are all painted in ‘Oxford White’. Ford will also recast the taillights in white if you want, and offer this original Fox Body shade of ‘Adriatic Blue Metallic’ across the Mustang lineup.

The only substantial change inside will be tartan inserts for the perforated leather seats. It means the usual bits - 13.2in touchscreen, 12.4in driver’s display, 12-speaker Bang & Olufsen speaker system, etc - will all still hang around.

No technical changes to report either, so the 5.0-litre ‘Coyote’ V8 should still send 440bhp/398lb ft to the rear axle. That’s 0-62mph in 5.3s for the six-speed manual, and a few tenths knocked off in the 10-speed auto. Other noteworthy items include a limited-slip diff and an active valve exhaust as standard.

Pricing for the FX package is still under wraps, but Ford has confirmed it definitely won’t be UK-bound. Boo.
