2027 Ford Mustang | 5.0L V8 Performance
2027 Ford Mustang GT Coupe & GT Convertible
The 2027 Ford Mustang GT brings together the elements that define traditional Mustang performance: a naturally aspirated 5.0L V8, rear-wheel drive, an available manual transmission and the unmistakable character of a V8-powered sports car.
Choose the GT Fastback for the classic closed-roof Mustang experience, or the GT Premium Convertible when enjoying the sound of a 5.0L V8 with the top down is part of the reason you want a Mustang.

The Naturally Aspirated V8 Mustang
Why the 2027 Ford Mustang GT Still Matters
For many enthusiasts, the Mustang GT is the heart of the Mustang lineup. It combines a naturally aspirated V8 engine, traditional rear-wheel drive and a genuine manual-transmission option in a modern performance car.
While the Mustang EcoBoost offers turbocharged performance and the Dark Horse adds specialized track-focused hardware, the Mustang GT provides the classic V8 experience that has helped define the nameplate for generations.
The difference goes beyond acceleration. The 5.0L engine delivers its own distinctive exhaust sound, throttle response and power delivery. Drivers who enjoy hearing an engine build through the rev range may find that experience more important than any single performance statistic.
The 2027 lineup also gives shoppers meaningful choices. A GT Fastback can emphasize driver involvement and performance equipment, while GT Premium adds a more refined interior and the option of a Convertible body style.
The most important decision is not simply which GT has the most equipment. It is which GT configuration best matches how you want to drive.
5.0L Ti-VCT V8
2027 Mustang GT Engine and Performance
The 2027 Ford Mustang GT is powered by Ford's naturally aspirated 5.0-liter Ti-VCT V8 engine.
The engine uses Port Fuel Direct Injection and features Auto Start-Stop technology. Unlike a turbocharged engine that relies on forced induction, the GT's V8 produces its power through natural aspiration and engine speed.
This gives the Mustang GT a driving personality that appeals to enthusiasts who enjoy the sound and responsiveness of a traditional high-performance V8.
Ford pairs the engine with either a six-speed manual transmission with rev matching or an available 10-speed SelectShift automatic transmission.
2027 Mustang GT Powertrain Highlights
- 5.0L Ti-VCT naturally aspirated V8
- Port Fuel Direct Injection
- Auto Start-Stop technology
- Six-speed manual transmission with rev matching
- Available 10-speed SelectShift automatic
- Rear-wheel drive
- Limited-slip rear differential
- Available Active Valve Performance Exhaust
How Much Horsepower Does the 2027 Ford Mustang GT Have?
Ford's October 15, 2026 preliminary order guide lists horsepower and torque figures for the 2027 Mustang GT as to be determined.
Final fuel-economy ratings are also pending in the supplied guide. Although previous Mustang GT models have published horsepower and torque ratings, those numbers should not automatically be presented as finalized 2027 specifications.
Chuck Anderson Ford can help shoppers review the latest available Ford specifications when comparing GT configurations.
Six-Speed Manual Transmission
The Manual Transmission Remains Part of the 2027 Mustang GT Experience
One of the biggest reasons to choose the Mustang GT instead of EcoBoost is the availability of a manual transmission.
The 2027 Mustang GT comes standard with Ford's MT82-D4 six-speed manual transmission, featuring a dual-mass flywheel, twin-disc clutch and rev matching.
Rev matching helps coordinate engine speed during downshifts. That can make downshifting smoother while preserving the driver's direct involvement in choosing gears.
For enthusiasts who enjoy shifting manually, the Mustang GT offers the combination of a clutch pedal, a naturally aspirated V8 and rear-wheel drive.
That combination remains a major part of the GT's appeal, especially for drivers who prioritize involvement over convenience.
Standard Manual-Transmission Rear Axle
Ford lists a 3.55 limited-slip rear axle with the standard GT manual-transmission configuration.
When equipped with the available GT Performance Package, the manual-transmission GT instead receives a 3.73 TORSEN differential.
The different differential and axle configuration is one of several ways the Performance Package changes the GT beyond appearance alone.
Available 10-Speed SelectShift Automatic
Want a 5.0L Mustang Without a Clutch Pedal?
The 2027 Mustang GT is also available with a 10-speed SelectShift automatic transmission.
The automatic allows drivers to enjoy the 5.0L V8 without manually operating a clutch, making it an appealing choice for regular commuting, heavy traffic and drivers who prefer automatic gear changes.
Ford includes paddle shifters with the automatic, providing the ability to select gears when desired.
According to the 2027 order guide, the automatic-transmission configuration also includes a Remote Start system and the Remote Rev feature.
Manual vs. Automatic: Which Should You Choose?
Choose the Six-Speed Manual If...
- You enjoy shifting gears yourself.
- Driver involvement is a top priority.
- You want traditional V8 manual-transmission character.
- You prefer controlling gear selection with a clutch pedal and shifter.
Choose the 10-Speed Automatic If...
- You want a V8 without using a clutch pedal.
- You frequently drive in stop-and-go traffic.
- You value paddle-shifter capability.
- You want available automatic-transmission convenience features.
Neither transmission is automatically the right choice for every driver. The manual emphasizes involvement, while the automatic provides a different balance of performance and everyday convenience.

Fastback or Convertible?
Two Ways to Experience the 2027 Mustang GT
The 2027 Mustang GT Fastback and GT Premium Convertible share the naturally aspirated 5.0L V8, but they offer different ownership experiences.
2027 Mustang GT Fastback
The Fastback provides the traditional Mustang coupe profile with its fixed roof, muscular body design and distinctive rear styling.
It is a natural starting point for drivers who want the V8 Mustang experience with a focus on performance driving, manual-transmission involvement or specialized handling equipment.
The GT Fastback is available in 300A and 301A equipment groups. Buyers wanting additional luxury can also choose a GT Premium Fastback in 400A or 401A.
- Fixed-roof Mustang design
- 5.0L naturally aspirated V8
- Standard six-speed manual
- Available 10-speed automatic
- Available GT Performance Package
- Standard or Premium equipment choices
2027 Mustang GT Premium Convertible
The GT Premium Convertible combines the traditional Mustang V8 with an electrically operated retractable cloth top.
With the roof lowered, the engine's exhaust note becomes a much more direct part of the driving experience.
The Convertible also brings the comfort features of the GT Premium lineup, including climate-controlled front seats, a heated steering wheel and upgraded interior trim.
- Retractable cloth convertible top
- 5.0L naturally aspirated V8
- Six-speed manual or available automatic

Both manual and automatic transmissions are listed for the GT Premium Convertible in the supplied order guide.

GT Standard vs. High Package
2027 Mustang GT 300A vs. 301A: What's the Difference?
Ford offers the standard GT Fastback in two equipment groups. Both use the same 5.0L V8 engine family and offer the same manual and automatic transmission choices.

Mustang GT Premium
2027 Mustang GT Premium: More Comfort, Same V8 Character
The 2027 Mustang GT Premium builds on the standard GT with additional comfort, technology and appearance features.
Both GT Premium Fastback and Convertible use Ford's 5.0L Ti-VCT V8, while giving buyers a more refined cabin and additional customization choices.
Standard GT Premium features include a heated steering wheel, ActiveX seating surfaces, climate-controlled front seats, power-adjustable front seating and a nine-speaker audio system.
GT Premium 400A
The 400A Standard Package adds many of the premium features buyers look for when using their Mustang regularly.
- ActiveX seating material
- Heated and cooled front seats
- Heated steering wheel
- Power-adjustable front seats
- Premium door trim
- Ambient Lighting with MyColor
- Nine-speaker sound system
- Available Fastback or Convertible
GT Premium 401A
The 401A High Package adds further interior, display and driver-assistance upgrades.
- Premier Trim with Color Accent Group
- Color-accented leather-trimmed seats

- Magnesium-framed panoramic curved display
- Driver seat and mirror memory features

For buyers considering the Mustang as a year-round daily driver, GT Premium can provide a meaningful improvement in everyday comfort without moving away from the naturally aspirated 5.0L V8.
Available Active Valve Performance Exhaust
Control the Sound of Your 2027 Mustang GT
The sound of a naturally aspirated V8 is one of the strongest reasons many buyers choose a Mustang GT.
Ford offers an available Active Valve Performance Exhaust system that allows drivers to adjust the exhaust character based on their selected settings.
This can make the GT more subdued when driving through a neighborhood or more expressive when the situation calls for a stronger V8 exhaust note.
The 2027 order guide identifies Active Valve Performance Exhaust under option code 19X and specifies that it includes quad chrome exhaust tips.
It is important to distinguish the presence of active exhaust from final engine output. Ford has not yet supplied finalized 2027 horsepower or torque ratings in the preliminary guide.
Is Active Exhaust Worth Adding to a Mustang GT?
If the sound of the 5.0L V8 is one of your main reasons for buying a GT, the available Active Valve Performance Exhaust deserves serious consideration.
It provides more flexibility over the exhaust note while retaining the same basic engine and transmission choices.
GT Performance Package | Option 67J
2027 Mustang GT Performance Package: More Than an Appearance Upgrade
The available GT Performance Package adds specialized mechanical hardware to help the Mustang handle more demanding performance driving.
For drivers who enjoy spirited driving or plan occasional track use, this package may be one of the most meaningful equipment choices available on the GT.
Upgraded Braking
The Performance Package includes Brembo brakes with performance linings and black calipers featuring white logos.
This equipment is designed to support more demanding braking conditions than the standard GT setup.
TORSEN Limited-Slip Differential
GT Performance Package models receive a TORSEN differential with a 3.73 axle ratio for manual-transmission cars and 3.55 for automatics.
Chassis and Suspension Upgrades
Ford includes heavy-duty front springs, a K-brace, strut-tower brace, larger rear sway bar and unique chassis, steering, stability-control and ABS tuning.
Wheels and Tires
The package includes staggered 19-inch performance wheels with summer tires, sized 255/40R19 in front and 275/40R19 in the rear, subject to selected appearance packages.
Electric Drift Brake
An electric hand-operated parking brake designed for track-oriented drift maneuvers is included.
The drift brake is intended for track use only, not public roads.
Exterior Performance Equipment
The package adds front tow hooks, a performance-oriented grille and additional aerodynamic equipment, including a raised rear wing on applicable Fastbacks.
Can You Get the GT Performance Package on a Convertible?
Yes. Ford lists the GT Performance Package as available with eligible 2027 Mustang GT Premium Convertible configurations.
The Convertible package differs in certain exterior details. For example, the Performance Package specifies a raised rear wing for the Fastback and spoiler delete for the Convertible.
Package availability and compatibility with other options should be verified for the exact vehicle configuration.
High-performance summer tires are not recommended by Ford for use at approximately 45 degrees Fahrenheit or below, or in snow and ice. This matters for buyers planning year-round driving in Missouri.
Available MagneRide Damping
How MagneRide Changes the Mustang GT Driving Experience
MagneRide is an available adaptive damping system designed to adjust suspension response as driving conditions change.
Unlike conventional fixed-rate dampers, MagneRide can modify its damping characteristics to help balance ride control and performance.
This makes it a worthwhile option to consider for drivers who want their Mustang to feel composed during everyday driving while also responding to more demanding cornering and road conditions.
For the 2027 model year, the order guide lists MagneRide as an available option on GT Premium configurations when the GT Performance Package is selected.
It is not standard equipment across the GT lineup.
Who Should Consider MagneRide?
- Drivers who plan to use their Mustang for both commuting and spirited driving
- Buyers who value suspension adaptability
- Enthusiasts considering GT Performance Package equipment
- Drivers who want additional chassis-control technology
MagneRide availability depends on configuration and the required GT Performance Package.

What Does GT Premium 401A Add to the Displays?

This creates a more integrated appearance for the digital instrument cluster and center display, distinguishing the higher equipment group from the standard interior presentation.
Ford Co-Pilot360
Driver-Assistance Technology in the 2027 Mustang GT
Even though the 2027 Mustang GT is built around performance, it also includes modern driver-assistance features designed to support everyday driving.
Standard Ford Co-Pilot360 features include technology that can help with lane awareness, collision warnings, blind-spot monitoring and parking.
Pre-Collision Assist

Model-Year Updates
What's New for the 2027 Ford Mustang GT?
Ford's preliminary 2027 Mustang ordering information identifies changes affecting paint, security features, standard equipment and other parts of the lineup.
Precision Purple Metallic
Precision Purple Metallic joins the 2027 Mustang exterior paint selections as a new color option.
Updated Paint Availability
Ford identifies Vapor Blue Metallic and Blue Ember Metallic as deleted colors for the 2027 Mustang lineup.
Ford Security Package
A Ford Security Package with one year included upon activation is standard. Ford also lists an available seven-year purchase option, subject to applicable terms.
Standard Equipment Updates
First-row black carpeted floor mats are standard across the Mustang lineup. Ford also replaces rain-sensing wipers with intermittent variable windshield wipers.
As Ford finalizes additional 2027 specifications, shoppers should verify current engine ratings, paint availability and specific equipment combinations before selecting a vehicle.
Mustang GT vs. EcoBoost
Should You Buy a 2027 Mustang EcoBoost or GT?
The Mustang EcoBoost and Mustang GT are both rear-wheel-drive sports cars, but they appeal to different driving preferences.
Mustang EcoBoost: Uses a 2.3L turbocharged four-cylinder engine paired with a standard 10-speed automatic transmission. It offers Mustang styling and responsive performance with an emphasis on everyday usability.
Mustang GT: Uses a naturally aspirated 5.0L V8 with a standard six-speed manual and available 10-speed automatic. It emphasizes traditional V8 sound, engine character and driver involvement.
If you want a modern Mustang sports car without necessarily wanting a V8, EcoBoost is a logical starting point.
If the engine's sound and naturally aspirated response are central to your Mustang purchase, GT is likely the more appealing choice.
Mustang GT vs. Dark Horse
Is the 2027 Mustang Dark Horse Worth the Upgrade Over GT?
The Mustang GT and Dark Horse both use naturally aspirated 5.0L V8 engines, but they are designed around different performance priorities.
GT provides the familiar V8 Mustang experience, with an emphasis on sound, acceleration, customization and everyday driving enjoyment.
Dark Horse adds a modified 5.0L engine configuration, specialized cooling, Brembo brake hardware, standard MagneRide damping and more extensive chassis tuning.
It also offers a TREMEC six-speed manual transmission, which is different from the MT82-D4 manual used in the standard GT.
For shoppers primarily interested in street driving, a properly equipped GT may provide the experience they want without moving to Dark Horse.
For drivers who place greater value on specialized track-oriented hardware, the Dark Horse becomes more compelling.
