2023 Ford Mustang GT Convertible 5.0L V8 10AT SelectShift RWD

Vehicle Overview

Ever since the Mustang’s first generation, Ford offered a drop-top version for this model, and in late 2022 it also brought the GT Convertible.

The Mustang convertible was part of the pony car culture, and these open-top versions attracted thousands of customers ever since the 1964 ½ model year appeared on the market. Considering this, it was obvious that Ford wouldn’t launch any new generation without a rag-top version. Thus, in 2022, along with the introduction of the Mustang’s seventh sequel, it also created such a model. In addition, it also made it with a GT package.

As expected, the front of the car retained the same design language shared with its GT coupe sibling, including the hood with the vents on it. Moreover, the front fascia retained the hexagonal-pattern mesh design for the upper and lower grilles and the side scoops. From its profile, the GT convertible revealed its thick A-pillars that also served as a safety arch.

The cabin showed a completely different design than the sixth generation of the Mustang. For starters, the double-bubble dashboard design was replaced by a more conventional one. On the plus side, the analog instrument cluster was replaced by a 12.4″ wide TFT in front of the driver, continued by a 13.2″ touch-screen placed atop the center stack. All four seats featured bolstered areas. In the back, like in any other Mustang convertible, there was very limited legroom. Fortunately, thanks to the retractable roof concealed behind the cabin, the headroom was enough.

For the powertrain, Ford chose the 5.0-liter Coyote engine as the sole option for the GT Convertible, which paired it with either a six-speed manual or a ten-speed automatic.
