Hey everybody I'm Justin with americanmuscle.com, and welcome to Mustang News.
Now on this installment, we hop on a train to the New York International Auto Show to
catch our very first glimpse of the 2018 Mustang.
And honestly, it's not as bad as you all think.
But first, subscribe to our YouTube channel for more great Mustang content, and enjoy
the 2018, or not.
What's up guys?
We're here at the New York International Auto Show here in NYC.
We're gonna get our very first glimpse at the 2018 Mustang in person.
I cannot wait.
We'll give you my feedback of course, but for now let's go check this thing out.
All right guys, well, we're walking around, we're checking out all the cool stuff.
And Ford always comes correct.
This time around, look at that badass front end of the new Ford GT, 3,000 pounds, 647
horsepower, 550 foot-pounds of torque, top speed of over 200 miles an hour.
Yes, powered by the high output 3.5 liter twin turbo EcoBoost motor.
It's beautiful.
It's sexy.
It's expensive.
I'll never own it, so for now we'll just sit and stare.
Well guys, here it is for the very first time in person, the 2018 Mustang in the new orange
fury color.
Let's dive right in on this thing, man.
Let's dive down a little bit lower and break down the most controversial part of the entire
car, the front end.
And seeing it in person now kinda mimics what I thought when I saw the original leaked imagery.
The gloss black grille just really isn't doing it for me.
The newly redesigned headlights are a little better in person, but they're still not my
favorite.
And of course this whole area right here is completely redesigned as well.
You have your fog light kind of incorporated into the turn signal housing now.
Little bit of a departure there.
New hood vents and a 20 millimeter lower hood line here with the 2018 Mustang to give it
that more aggressive angular look in Ford's words.
Under this hood of course, we have that new five liter powerplant, higher compression,
dual injection with the port injection in addition to direct injection.
Yet to see what this thing is truly capable of, but we know we have some higher horsepower
figures this time around.
And overall, it's definitely the love it or hate it part of the new 2018 Mustang.
The sides and the rear are a home run, so let's go check them out right now.
Walking down the side of the car here, guys, not a whole lot has changed on the side.
New fenders of course to accommodate that new hood line.
On the side that you can see, Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires have replaced those crappy
Pirelli P ZEROs.
Inside the car, we can't get in unfortunately, but there's that all new 12 inch digital cluster.
Very, very cool stuff.
Let's kinda work our way to the back of the car here because by far and away my favorite
part of this thing by a long shot.
Now you'll see the newly redesigned tri-bar taillights here, very similar to the '15 through
'17 cars but with a more angular look matching those gills up in the headlights there.
New for 2018 pedestal style spoiler here.
I don't know, I'm not really the biggest fan.
New deck lid panel with a little bit more detail.
And then, the home run right down here guys, new standard quad-tip exhausts system.
Active exhaust system is an option on these cars as well.
Much more aggressive rear diffuser on this car.
Again, just a complete home run from Ford, and I think it's everybody's favorite part
of this car.
The front end not so much, but like anything, it just takes a little bit of time and I'm
sure it'll grow on everybody, especially given a few mods.
Guys, we wanna hear from you.
Let us know what you think.
Comment below where you're watching this video.
Here with Dan.
Dan was actually at our very first Dyno Wars in your 2009 Shelby.
How you been, brother?
Dan: Good.
How about yourself?
Justin: I can't complain, man.
The reason we're here is right behind us, the 2018 Mustang.
Be honest, man, that's what we're here for.
We wanna know your thoughts as a Mustang fan.
Dan: There's some pros and cons.
It's a nice looking car.
They really did a nice job in the back of the car, but I think they took a step back
with the front bumper.
They got rid of the iconic round fog lights that we all love as Mustang owners.
I understand that they need to jump into the future, but they definitely could've done
things a little differently for us all to still love.
Justin: I hear you.
What do you think of that orange fury color?
Dan: I think it's cool.
I would never own it myself, but I think there's plenty of Mustang owners who would.
Justin: That's awesome.
Well thanks for talking with us, buddy.
Dan: Good seeing you.
Justin: You too.
All right guys, we're walking around the New York Auto Show.
Yes, I know, we're a Mustang only company, but you gotta give respect where respect is
due, right?
The all new Demon 840-something horsepower 9 second quarter-mile.
I mean, you gotta tip your cap to Dodge for going balls out and building something like
this.
Now as a Mustang fan, all we can do is just hope that Ford answers.
Time will tell.
Well guys, we got to see the 2018 Mustang in person finally for the very first time.
And my reaction is pretty much how I left you guys in the original Hot Lap where we
saw this for the very first time.
It looks a lot better in person much like the 2015 did.
We have to get used to a few parts on this car, mainly that front end, but the rear end,
the sides, everything else a complete home run.
So we wanna know what you guys think.
Drop us a comment wherever you're watching this.
All right guys, a quick little product break before we get outta here.

S197, there you have it, their new V2 chin spoiler.
