Ford Mustang GT Premium 5.0L V8

The 2022 Ford Mustang GT is best described as the definitive, modern American V8 pony car—a charismatic sports coupe (or convertible) that masterfully blends raw, old-school muscle car thunder with contemporary handling and daily drivability.
It's the heart of the Mustang lineup, centered around the legendary engine.
The Defining Feature: The Coyote V8
The Mustang GT is all about its engine, the 5.0-liter "Coyote" V8.
Power & Sound: It delivers a powerful punch, typically 450 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque, with a glorious, intoxicating sound, especially when equipped with the optional Active Valve Performance Exhaust (which allows the driver to adjust the volume from a "Quiet Mode" for neighbors to a "Track Mode" for maximum roar).
Transmission Choices: Power is sent to the rear wheels via an engaging six-speed manual transmission for the purists or a remarkably quick and smooth 10-speed SelectShift automatic transmission.
Performance & Driving Dynamics
While it's a muscle car, this generation of Mustang is a capable sports car too:
Handling: Unlike older Mustangs, the current generation features an independent rear suspension, which significantly improves handling, ride comfort, and stability, making it competent on twisty roads.
Essential Option (MagneRide): The optional MagneRide adaptive damping system is highly praised for dramatically improving ride quality, turning the car into a more refined daily driver while sharpening its performance feel when needed.
Track Tech: It includes Track Apps and performance features like Line Lock (for burnouts on a track) and Launch Control.
Style & Interior
Exterior: It retains the iconic, muscular, long-hood/short-deck styling, which is aggressive and instantly recognizable.
Interior Tech (GT Premium): Higher trims often include an attractive, customizable 12-inch digital instrument cluster and the SYNC 3 infotainment system (with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto).
Practicality: It offers surprisingly good trunk space for a coupe, making it a viable daily driver. However, the rear seats remain very cramped and are only useful for small children or storage.
