The S550 Ford Mustang was released in 2015 with a ton of hype! Ford was last to the standard independent rear suspension (IRS) show when it came to the “big three”. Both the Chevrolet Camaro and the Dodge Challenger were sporting this more modern rear suspension since 2008-09 model years. Not only that, but the 2015 Mustang had an all-new chassis that replaced the aging S197 platform that ran from 2005-2014 that would end up turning into one of the most popular versions of Ford’s muscle car since the Fox Body Mustang last rolled off the production line in 1993.

More changes came to the S550 Mustang in 2018 highlighted by the revised Gen 3 Coyote V8 with its new direct-injection pushing out a cool 460 hp and 420 lb-ft of torque! Also added to the performance side was the 10-speed automatic helping the Mustang GT achieve sub-4 second 0-60 times and quarter-mile times dipping into the high 11-second range. Truly impressive numbers by anyone’s standards. Even the supercharged SVT Cobra from 2003-04 cannot touch this factory trim performance.

With this newfound power and performance, Ford introduced a facelift including a new front facia, sleeker headlights, a redesigned hood, and revisions to the taillights. In addition to these changes, FoMoCo would bring back the beloved Bullitt Mustang for 2019 featuring the every so classy Dark Highland Green and add fuel to the enthusiast fire, the heavyweight, fire breathing Shelby GT500 with its 5.2L Predator V8 equipped with its 7-speed and 760 hp would hit the streets in 2020. You know Ford had to up its game with new colors to highlight these changes and additions!

Colors like Royal Crimson, Need for Green, Antimatter Blue Metallic, and even a new Grabber Yellow that would complement the triumphant return of the 2021 Mustang Mach 1 were released for this latter half of the S550. Even Wimbledon White would grace us with the final year of the Shelby GT350 and GT350R.

For the 2022 Mustang colors we are presented with many new color offerings. Colors such as Atlas Blue, Brittany Blue, Oil Slick Blue-Purple, Dark Matter Gray, and Eruption Green are all new shades for the 2022 model year. We will also see a comeback of the Cyber Orange color that first came out on the 2021 Mach-E, Race Red, Rapid Red, Oxford White, Shadow/Absolute Black, Iconic Silver, and Carbonized Gray. What a time to be a Mustang fan!
