Mod 2005 Ford Mustang Convertible for Car Mechanic Simulator 2018 Fifth generation At the North American International Auto Show in 2004, Ford introduced the completely redesigned Mustang, code-named “S-197,” which was based on the new D2C platform. From a technical point of view, it was a simplified and cheaper version of the DEW rear-wheel drive architecture (DEW98), known for 2002 Ford Thunderbird, 2000 Lincoln LS and first-generation Jaguar S-Type and XF sedans. The main difference was the use of continuous rear axle instead of multi-link independent suspension. Developed under the leadership of Hau Thai-Tang Chief Engineer and designer Sid Ramnarace, the fifth-generation Mustang externally repeats the fastback of the late 1960s. The senior vice president of the project, J Mays, called this style "retro futurism." The fifth generation Mustang was assembled in Flat Rock in Michigan at a joint venture between Ford and Mazda (AutoAlliance International) The base model is equipped with a 4.0-liter Ford V6 engine with a SOHC gas distribution system, which replaced the 3.8-liter version used since 2004.

Although the GT is equipped with the same automatic transmission as the V6 model, the Tremec 3650 5-speed manual gearbox can optionally be installed, with which you can use the additional power of the GT model more efficiently. It is worth mentioning the Shelby GT-H (2006-2007), Shelby GT (2007-2008) as a subclass of the GT version with a slight increase in power and a specific design package, and the Shelby GT500, sold since May 2006, equipped with a 5.4L engine 500 h.p.
