Pony power from the 1960s to today.
Since its debut in the mid-1960s, the Ford Mustang became popular due to its balance of affordability and performance. But not every year offered the power we associate with the pony car today. A new infographic shows how the Ford Mustang's horsepower has progressed from the first generation to the current car.
Near the end of the first generation, the Ford Mustang Mach 1 made 375 hp (gross) from its 429 cubic-inch V-8 -- substantially more power than any second- or third-generation car. In fact, it wasn’t until the limited production run of Cobra R models in 2000 did the pony car exceed the Mach 1’s power rating. The 2000 Ford Mustang Cobra R coupe’s 5.8-liter DOHC V-8 was rated 385 hp (net) and 385 lb-ft of torque.
