FIRST LOOK: 2024 Seventh-Generation Ford Mustang | Top Gear

The Mustang relies on the same basic formula: big engine up front, rear-wheel drive, two doors, and both coupe and convertible body styles. But it’s a surprisingly well-honed performance machine, and with each new iteration, the Mustang’s become less of a straight-line warrior and more of a proper sports car. So, now in its seventh generation, what’s improved? Top Gear Magazine’s Head of Car Testing, Ollie Marriage, is here to provide us with all the details.

The Mustang stands as a symbol of American automotive culture like few others, doesn't it? From the iconic V8 enthusiasts to the tech-savvy advocates for EVs, there's room under the Mustang umbrella for all. 🇺🇸 I think we can all agree that whether it's old school muscle or modern innovation, the Mustang stirs emotions. And let's be real, how many cars can be a crowd-pleaser and a "crowd plower" at the same time? 😂

What a sad world we live in. Kudos to Ford for updating them and still keeping it in production.

[JakeyBaby]

Can we not get a new Capri? I'd leap at something from Ford with retro styling but aimed at the GT86 and MX5 and affordable.

[themrmarkprior]

Good on ya Ford. This is the behaviour we appreciate. Enjoy it whilst we can as the end is truly nigh.

[ThabileTheTrainer]

Old school muscle meets newfound precision. Looks cleaner, minimalist and easily recognizable than the old one. I rather like it. Kudos to Ford! The Mustang is coming with guns blazing!

Giving the people what they want! How brave… Why don’t they all just do it???

[ecjaye]

Hey Ford stop killing off the hot hatches! Out here in California 2019 was the last year we had them. Please bring us the Puma ST! I'm ready to unload my Fiesta ST.

Full disclosure, I have a 2022 mustang gt. I smile every time I press the start button and press that third pedal. That said, good on ford. Manual transmission and naturally aspirated v8. In a world concerned less with driver experience and more with tenths of a second on 0-60 times, Ford still cares about those of us who want to enjoy our cars. All I need is a bit of twisty road and no one in front of me.

The s650 seats are the same as the s550. I’m 6ft 4 and drove around Australia and found them extremely comfortable and supportive with lumbar adjustment over long drives. So your comment about the seat absolutely bamboozles me and lost me for the video after.

1:30 Profit margin - It's massively built into it

Long live the Mustang! Love the Fox body gauges they’re pretty cool, it takes me back to my first car (an ‘87 5.0 LX). Ford is definitely aiming for Gen-X with this.

[paultucker]

Ford UK dropped the Ecoboost 4 cylinder a few years back as sales were 80/20 in favour of the V8, so I don't see the Ecoboost coming back for this 7th generation. Also, the last of the V8 6th Gen cars were over £50k, so the price is only going to go up.

Any truth that Euro Mustangs will be nerfed in terms of Horse power? I’ve heard they’ll be around 440-450 in EU vs 480-500 in US

I love the 2024 Mustang even though I know several other Mustang fans don’t. Love the refresh outside, love the tech inside and never been a fan of wings but IMO this one looks great. Still love the 2023 as well but I would take either. I am planning on buying a fun car in the next couple of years and have it narrowed down a 67 or 90 coupe or convertible or 2023 or 2024 premium coupe. When time comes I will see what I can get best deal on but glad I have these choices…thanks Ford

I have a bunch of issues with the S650 but what a shame about that big dumb slab of LCD panel. I know it's everywhere... it certainly doesn't mean it's good. What is it going to look like in 20 years? And that goes for any of these.

[frankrizan]

Mustang as the last, true sports car? A worthy send-off.

[mrg]

Hey
I need an advice :
What transmission do You recommend?

[saxa]

Steve M and film Bullit means Mustang will never die.
Iconic.

[ianlau]

It is so sad that is not Jeremy introduce the 7th gen to us.

[clarencedelacruz]

That unified digital infotainment and gauge cluster are my gripe on this mustang. That being said. This is the coolest modern mustang yet.
