Now in its 55th year on American roads, the Ford Mustang remains an iconic sports car and a symbol of American muscle around the globe. This year, the BULLITT Mustang from the famous Steve McQueen flick adds another dimension to the Mustang lineup, but it's packed with features and head-turning beauty that make it a contender for sports car of the year yet again. With speed, opulence, and looks to kill, the 2019 Ford Mustang just might be the coolest thing on four wheels. Power The 2019 Ford Mustang comes with three engine options to propel you to new heights. A 2.3-liter EcoBoost turbo-four is the standard engine, and although it has only four cylinders, it packs quite a punch with 310 horsepower. more An upgrade to the 5.0-liter V-8 is a solid decision if it's in your budget. With 460 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque, this beast can go from zero to 60 in just 4.3 seconds, go from zero to 100 in 9.7 seconds, and hit the quarter-mile in only 12.6 seconds. You probably won't ever hit the top speed of 155 mph, but if you find a track willing to let you air out the Mustang's power, get ready for an adrenaline ride. The BULLITT If you haven't seen 1968's "Bullitt", all you need to know is that it contains one of the greatest car chase scenes in cinematic history. The scene shows Lt. Frank Bullitt, played by Steve McQueen, on a chase in his Shelby Mustang through the heart of San Francisco. Many directors point to this chase as an influence on their later work. Fans of the movie or those that love upper-tier sports cars will love the 2019 Mustang BULLITT. Modeled after the car from the movie but with a modern twist, this car is unlike anything else. Under the hood, it gets a mighty 5.0-liter V-8 that's been upgraded to produce 480 horsepower. You might not want to push it out to the 163 mph top speed or reenact the chase scene through downtown San Francisco, but it's nice to know you can if you want to. Exterior Beauty It's hard to put the look of the 2019 Ford Mustang into words, but it's best described as exotic, modern, and sleek. The aerodynamic body is where form meets function, allowing the Mustang to glide effortlessly along the road. Chrome accents and a quad exhaust add a touch of flair, while 18-inch to 20-inch wheels provide some bling that allows this pony to rival any of the big horses in the industry. Plus, you can make your pony stand out with vibrant colors such as Orange Fury, Velocity Blue, Need for Green, or the classic Ruby Red. Whether you have an insatiable need for speed, a genuine love of engineering, or some mix between the two, the 2019 Ford Mustang answers the call, filling the void that only a Mustang can fill. Maybe that's why this year's model seems like an instant classic. Image via F.D. Richards | Licensed by CC BY-SA 2.0

The Ford Mustang is a powerful muscle car that has been making driving fun for generations. After a significant refresh in 2018, the 2019 Mustang carries over without any big changes except for the addition of the new BULLITT model and a new California Special trim. It has the refreshed version of the four-cylinder EcoBoost engine — which is now the entry-level powertrain — and if you want more power, you can bump up to the V-8. There are benefits to each of the engines, so here are some details to help you decide if you should get the 2019 Mustang with the EcoBoost engine. What is the EcoBoost Engine? The EcoBoost is a 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that Ford revised for the 2018 model year to give it more power and better fuel economy. This more engine generates 310 horsepower and 350 pound-feet of torque, and it comes standard with a six-speed manual transmission. A 10-speed automatic is also available. The V-8 Engine If you want more power than what you can get with the EcoBoost, Ford offers the GT model. It comes with a 5.0-liter V-8 engine that generates 460 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque. Ford tweaked this engine in 2018 as well to increase its horsepower by 25 and its torque by 20. The new ratings give it more power than other pony cars on the market. The six-speed manual transmission also received an update. It now has much better clutch-to-pedal feedback and allows more torque. Choose the available 10-speed automatic, and you'll get a new Drag Strip mode for when you really want to push the limits. This mode limits the amount of torque you lose between shifts for unbeatable straight-line acceleration. The EcoBoost Trims Ford offers two different Mustangs with the EcoBoost engine. The base level EcoBoost comes with a number of racy extras, such as a limited-slip differential, and the manual models come with launch control. The EcoBoost Premium adds 18-inch wheels to the EcoBoost and upgrades the interior with leather seats, a nine-speaker stereo system, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. You Still Get All the Technology The base 2.3-liter turbo engine has plenty of power for the driver who wants to hit the road in a classic muscle car, and you also get all the technology you need. Standard tech in the EcoBoost models includes a 4.2-inch center display screen, Bluetooth, and two USB ports. Bump up to the Premium for an 8-inch touchscreen display and the Sync 3 infotainment system. The GT Models The GT models with the 5.0-liter V-8 come standard with the manual transmission and offer the automatic as an option. Also, the GT Premium gets the same comfort features as the EcoBoost Premium along with the larger engine. If you want to stand out, the BULLITT adds dark Highland Green paint, special wheels, and BULLITT badging both inside and out. The EcoBoost engine is an excellent choice for any driver. It has plenty of power and the same transmissions as the GT models. If the 2019 Mustang is on your radar, be sure to weigh the benefits of both engine options. Either way, it is a fun drive.
