The Ford Mustang is a timeless sports car that has captured the hearts of driving enthusiasts worldwide. It remains atop its class thanks to continual evolutions in performance, styling, and technology. At Thomason Ford in Aumsville, we expect to be receiving the new 2026 Mustang models this fall, and we're eager to tell you about their exciting innovations.
2026 Ford Mustang Changes at a Glance
The biggest news about the upcoming 2026 Ford Mustang is the development of some new high-performance models and a new engine offering. Other revisions include:
- New Ford Mustang Raptor: This off-road-capable car will have all-wheel drive, a lifted suspension, and Fox Live Dampers for scintillating all-terrain adventures near Aumsville.
- New Ford Mustang Shelby GT500: A new high-performance model, potentially the Shelby GT500 or a similar variant, is rumored to be in development with a muscular new engine.
- A revamped Boss 429 model is in the works, and it's expected to have a wide stance, flared fenders, blacked-out side mirrors, deep side skirts, and a quad exhaust system. It's also anticipated to have a driver-focused cabin with Recaro performance seats, a flat-bottom steering wheel, and a fully digital driver display.
- A new teal paint color is expected to be added to the available exterior hues, along with the possible return of an orange shade.

2026 Ford Mustang Technology and Safety Specs
Few details are available about the 2026 Ford Mustang's standard and available tech features, but we expect it to have even more intuitive infotainment and safety amenities.
