Ford Mustang. It is a legendary car, an icon of the American auto industry, and the car that launched the muscle car era... This car is the coolest in the world. And nothing in the world becomes this desirable, even though there are countless living things, objects, and possessions that inspire admiration and love, a desire to own them, and excitement among millions of ordinary people. Ford Mustang has belonged to this category for a very long time.
The history behind the name of this most coveted and seemingly unattainable dream is interesting. The car considered the coolest in the world was originally named after the P-51 Mustang, one of the best fighter aircraft to serve in the U.S. Air Force during World War II. But later, the developers decided to give the car a name closely associated with the legendary American wild horse—the mustang. And it was the image of the wild mustang that became the signature emblem on the Ford Mustang’s grille.
The car’s untamed, spirited character, inspired by the wild horse, its original appearance, and, above all, the Mustang’s affordable price immediately helped it find buyers.
The first generation of Ford Mustang was produced through 1974. These cars are considered the pioneers of the muscle car family and a classic example of the genre. Interestingly, it was these old-school “Mustangs” that firmly captured the minds and hearts of an army of fans of the car, a true American automobile. In their countless numbers, fans continue to empty their wallets for the coolest car in the world, because by definition, it cannot come cheap. It seems that no other car in the world can boast as many songs and movies, stories and tall tales associated with the Ford Mustang of the late 1960s.
In the 1970s, the Ford Mustang began dramatically changing its image and substance, moving in a completely opposite direction. The reason was the energy crisis in the United States, which significantly changed the priorities of Americans. Nobody wanted a car that burned through dozens of liters of gasoline a day anymore. Muscle cars fell out of favor, and their popularity headed toward zero. From that point on, each new generation of the Mustang lost something from the look it had established in the 1960s, and car enthusiasts began to wonder whether the Mustang was really the coolest car in the world.
In 2005, the new fifth generation of the Ford Mustang was released. It marked the true return of a legend. The car was built on the all-new D2C platform and featured a 4.0-liter engine producing 210 horsepower. The Mustang’s styling was aggressive and extravagant, with elements reminiscent of the fastbacks of the 1960s.
