What Is The 2020 Mustang High Performance Package?

While EcoBoost Mustang enthusiasts have witnessed many different performance upgrades among other Mustang models, in 2020 they are finally getting the performance package they have always wanted! This idea initially started from a Mustang build that featured a Focus RS engine. The build was so enjoyable that the Mustang team decided to submit a formal plan to add to their production lineup. This package is a great way to celebrate the Mustang’s 55th anniversary with an increased handling ability and improved power.

PERFORMANCE SPECS

This vehicle will come equipped with a 2.3L EcoBoost 4-cylinder engine that will crank out 330HP and a 350 lb/ft of torque. You’re also able to go from 0-60 mph in just over 4 sec with a top speed of 155 mph. It also features a more aggressive road-holding stance, somewhat balanced weight distribution of 53/47, improved and new fully independent suspension, performance calibration tuning, and an engine-spun aluminum instrument panel which features oil pressure and turbo boost gauges.
