There’s been plenty of talk about the new generation Ford Mustang coming at us in 2015, but in order to keep buyers interested in the top-selling muscle car, Ford will offering an updated version for the 2013 model year. This refreshing take on the Mustang will come with a few exterior changes as well as a power upgrade. Expect its debut to come around in time for the Los Angeles Auto Show in November.
Sources close to Ford have revealed the company’s intentions on bringing design cues from the current Shelby GT500, including a puckered up front grille and a smaller and rounder lower grille. Lighting will also be updated with the use of LED technology and a switch from the current slanted positioning to a design that runs flat across the back.
In terms of power, Ford will be busying themselves by upping the output of the 5.0L V8 to about 425 HP. This will allow the Mustang to deal with the 422 HP 6.2-liter V8 found in the 2012 Chevrolet Camaro SS. No changes were mentioned for the 305 HP 3.7L V6 in the Mustang lineup, so it will still be doing battle with the higher 323 HP coming out of the 3.6L V6 in the Camaro.
We’ll find out more of what’s in store for the 2013 Ford Mustang when it debuts at the 2011 Los Angeles Auto Show. Stay tuned!
