This week at the Los Angeles Auto Show, Ford will show the public a slightly redesigned Mustang that includes some cool new exterior bits, as well as a slightly pumped up engine. The car, more a refresh than a completely new version, will feature an engine similar to that in the limited-edition Bullit variant that was released in early 2008. The size of the V-8 will remain 4.6 liters, but thanks to a new cold air intake, the power will rise slightly to 315HP.
The interior will supposedly be a bit more refined, with the addition of softer plastics, and interior shots of the car hint at more comfortable seats. Not that the seats will offer that much protection from bumpy roads, as the redesign will also carry over the live rear axle suspension that the models have become notorious for in the days of independent rear suspension. Well, that's the trade-off for a low price, I suppose.
The exterior looks much better than the current car, with the front end getting GT-500 style diagonal arms next to the lights, and the rear end gets curvier taillights. Expect the redesign to keep the masses full until an all-new Mustang arrives in a few years.
