AutoExec Summary
Rare in France, muscle cars with 5.0-litre engines stand out among the 1.0-litre hatchbacks. The Ford Mustang GT3 race car made a mark at Le Mans, showcasing its V8 power against European rivals. The car’s revamped interior features a retro-inspired driver display and a large centre display for easy navigation. The powerful V8 engine impresses with its smooth performance and musical exhaust note. The car’s manual transmission includes a unique “no lift shift” function for seamless gear changes. The Mustang shines on relaxed country roads in Normandy, with its melodic engine sound echoing through the countryside. Despite some flaws like firm suspension and limited visibility, the Mustang offers an exhilarating driving experience. The convertible version provides an even more immersive driving experience, bringing you closer to the powerful V8 engine. The Mustang’s success at Le Mans and upcoming arrival in Australia highlight the enduring appeal of the V8 muscle car.
