Ford’s New Mustang Heavier Than Predecessor: Report

Ford’s all-new Mustang will reportedly be around “200 to 300 pounds heavier” (91-137kg) than its predecessor, according to a top aftermarket Ford tuner in the US.

As a trusted tuner, Steeda Autosports has been given early access to the new pony car. In the lead-up to the new Mustang's sales launch, Steeda has used its blog to outline the challenges in developing enhancements for new models.

According to a recent entry on the Steeda website, one hurdle will be the new Mustang’s weight gain - details readily available to partners, but yet to be publicised by Ford itself.
