Review: 2020 Ford Mustang Coupe Premium

The Ford Mustang Coupe Premium is not your typical entry-level four-cylinder. It's not even just the highest-performing production four-cylinder Mustang ever. With the addition of Mustang GT brakes and Mustang GT Performance Package aerodynamics and suspension components, the iconic pony car now celebrating its 56th anniversary is also the most powerful four-cylinder sports car offered by an American automaker. Designed to provide a top speed of 155 mph and a run of 0-60 in the mid-four-second range on premium fuel, the new Mustang GT Performance Package offers a 10 mph gain over the outgoing EcoBoost Performance Package and a speed of 34 mph faster than the base EcoBoost Mustang.

A host of new exterior colors also now offered is comprised of Grabber Lime (shown here), Iconic Silver, Rapid Red Metallic Tinted Clearcoat, and Twister Orange Tri-Coat with a new hood stripe offering for the 2.3L High Performance Package. These options will replace the previous now-deleted colors of Ingot Silver, Need for Green, Orange Fury Metallic Tri-Coat, and Ruby Red Metallic Tinted Clearcoat. FordPass Connect is now standard on all series, and additional features on the test model include: Recaro ebony leather-trimmed seats, 265/40R Pirelli P Zero tires, Mustang GT aerodynamics, large black front splitter and belly pan, and brake cooling ramps from the Mustang GT Performance Package.

The Ford Performance Focus RS 2.3-liter engine is a high-revving marvel, and anyone who's driven this EcoBoost engine instantly loves how quickly it responds and delivers power.

Source: Ford | Reminiscent of development of the original Mustang in 1964, the car began as a five-person skunkworks project in the Ford Performance garage. Following an experiment with a Focus RS engine swap, the Mustang team leveraged Ford's quickening product development times to accelerate and complete the design-to-approval process for the 2.3L High Performance Package in under 10 months. Available on the entry-level Mustang EcoBoost fastback coupe or convertible models [as of last fall], the Mustang EcoBoost package was developed to feel at home both on thrilling mountain and coastal roads and even on the most precise autocross courses thanks to its Mustang GT brakes, performance tires, and chassis and aerodynamics hardware from the Mustang GT Performance Package.
