Ford's Mustang sport car will arrive for 2018 with a sleeker look, lower hood, new transmission, and one less engine choice, Ford has announced.
Ford is dropping the 3.7L V-6 for 2018, and reworking its 5.0L V-8 to increase power and add efficiency. Ford will continue to offer the 2.3L turbocharged four cycliner.
