A new independent rear suspension (IRS) system was developed specifically for the new model which was need so bad due to the amount of crashes people in a mustang would get in because they would peal out of a parking lot (see video--->)( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVyBaX6sCd4 ) and 90% of the crashes that happen happen because one side of the axle spins and the other doesn't so the computer tries to fix it leading to a crash.
In February 2015, the Mustang earned a 5-star rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) for front, side, and rollover crash protection.[70]
The 2018 model year Mustang was released in the third quarter of 2017 in North America and by 2018 globally. It featured a minor redesign to the exterior. The 2018 Mustang engine line up was revised. The 3.7L V6 was dropped and the 2.3L 4 cyl. Ecoboost (direct-injection turbocharged) engine now serves as the base power plant for the Mustang, producing 310 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque when using 93-octane fuel. The 5.0L V8 gets a power increase to 460HP and 420 lb.-ft. of torque. The automatic transmission in both engines is now a ten-speed that was co-developed by Ford and General Motors.In January 2018, Ford displayed a prototype of the special edition 2018 Bullitt model, to be released in the summer; this vehicle commemorated the 50th anniversary of the movie Bullitt that helped attract interest in the marque.
