Details
Summary
The sixth-generation Mustang set its analog dials in an aviation-themed dashboard, and from 2018 offered a fully digital cluster in their place.
Specifications
Cockpit
Instrument cluster
Speedometer and tachometer either side of a colour info screen. The optional digital cluster has normal, sport and track views, 26 colour choices, quarter-mile and lap timers, and drag-strip and line-lock animations.
Centre display
Bluetooth voice system; AppLink let drivers run approved smartphone apps.
Changes between screens were slow next to rival systems.
Controls
Ford fitted tactile switches and knobs throughout the cockpit.
Facts
- The dashboard grew from a clay model with a long, wing-like aluminium span, which allowed a shallower dash.[1][2]
- Toggle switches on the centre console set the optional Selectable Drive Modes: steering effort, engine response, transmission and stability control.[2]
- MyFord Touch was optional at launch; SYNC 3 replaced it for 2016, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto followed in 2017.[1][3]
- Visteon supplied the digital cluster: a 12.3-inch, 1920×720 LCD whose graphics use Rightware's Kanzi framework and nearly 1 million lines of code.[4]
- Ford built the S550 at Flat Rock, Michigan, from mid-2014 to April 2023, still on the D2C platform.[1]
