A year following the first appearance of the Boss 302, the listing remains the same: the V6, the GT 5.0, the Boss and the GT500. They’re all getting a new design for 2013, expressing a more determined design in the front, some high intensity diodes (HID) headlights and three-bar LED taillights signals that flash consecutively.

The famous GT model is now equipped with LED fog lights and is beneficing an increase of 8 horsepower for a total of 420 hp. The 8 hp is obtained from reduced frictions internally in the engine. The six-speed automatic Select Shift is now permitting the drivers a complete manual control. The superb cloth and leather Recaro seats are going to be offered for the entire 2013 Mustang family. There are also some new performance kits available crowned by a boosted audio system and an accelerometer. The cherry on the top is the Track Apps option. With Track Apps you may now record and see your lap times, ¼ miles times and g-force. That will make the drag enthusiasts happy. It is also supplying several engine telemetry options and various temperature sensors even down the cylinder heads. All of these will be displayed on a new 4.2” LCD.

And finally for the 2013 Mustang GT500, Ford promises 650 hp. That is 100 hp moreover if we compare it with the current GT500. The top speed is around 200 miles per hour. It is important to say that the 650 hp engine specified above is not just a blown edition of the recent 5.0 Coyote block that we can see in the GT and the Boss 302. It is the supercharged Ford GT motor that has been upgraded from 5.4 l to 5.8 l of displacement. With a Redline at 7,000 rpm that mean awesome piston speeds for a long-stroke engine. For the price, we are still under $65,000. At this price range, we can’t find anything that is offering even close to 650 hp from any car delivered with originally manufactured equipments.
