Ford Mustang (fifth generation)

The fifth-generation Ford Mustang began with the 2005 models and received a facelift for the 2010 model year. It is manufactured at the AutoAlliance International plant in Flat Rock, Michigan.

At the 2004 North American International Auto Show, Ford introduced a completely redesigned Mustang which was codenamed "S-197" and based on an all-new D2C platform for the 2005 model year. Developed under the direction of Chief Engineer Hau Thai-Tang and exterior styling designer Sid Ramnarace, the fifth generation Mustang draws inspiration from Mustangs of the 1960s, notably the 1967-68 models. It was this redesigned aesthetic that inspired Ford's Senior Vice President of Design, J Mays, to call it "retro-futurism." The 2005 Mustang's unique retro coupe styling complements its muscle car status with an approximate weight-to-power ratio of 11.5:1 in GT form.

They originally appeared in 2003 North American International Auto Show.[1]
