The Ford Mustang is an iconic American muscle car that has been a symbol of performance and lifestyle for decades. It has returned officially to Indonesia through Ford RMA Indonesia, and it has immediately drawn the attention of sports car enthusiasts with its bold character and distinctive engine sound.
Its design is low, wide, and aggressive, with a long hood, sharp LED lights, and an athletic fastback silhouette. The red paint makes the Mustang look even fiercer, bolder, and more passionate, matching its true muscle car character. The cabin seats 4, but the best experience comes when enjoyed by two, with generous front seats.
Engine and Performance
The Mustang is available with several engine options, depending on the variant. General specifications:
- EcoBoost variant: 2.3L EcoBoost 4-cylinder engine with a twin-scroll turbocharger (approximately 2,261 cc), producing approximately 311–315 PS and peak torque of approximately 475 Nm
- GT variant: 5.0L V8 Coyote engine, capable of sprinting from 0–96 km/h in approximately 4 seconds
- Dark Horse variant: a high-performance version of the 5.0L V8 engine with up to approximately 500 hp
- Transmission: 10-speed automatic (and a 6-speed manual on certain V8 variants)
- Drivetrain: rear-wheel drive (RWD)
- Fuel: high-octane gasoline (RON 98 for the EcoBoost variant)
- Fuel tank capacity: approximately 61 liters
The EcoBoost variant proves that muscle car performance doesn’t always require a V8: the 2.3-liter turbo delivers strong power and abundant torque from low rpm. Rear-wheel drive and the 10-speed transmission give firm acceleration and the driving character typical of a sports car. The Brembo braking system on certain variants adds confidence at high speeds.

Comfort on the Road
Sitting in the Mustang’s cabin feels like being in the cockpit of a powerful American sports car. The sport seats hold the body well, the low seating position gives a sense of being one with the car, and the digital cockpit presents information clearly. For relaxed drives, a calmer driving mode keeps the car tame, while a sportier mode delivers sharper response when you want to drive with more spirit.
Because of its sporty character, the suspension feels firmer than a family car’s, and its low body is best enjoyed on smooth roads, coastal routes, and winding roads. The Mustang is ideal for trips for two with a modest amount of luggage, where its comfort and thrills are at their best.
