The manual-equipped GT variants are also more expensive. Both the GT Fastback and GT Premium Fastback are $1,000 pricier than before. Opting for the 10-speed auto ‘box negates the problem. The price difference between the two models is far smaller than it was before, though.
Naturally, the EcoBoost models have retained their original pricing. The four-cylinder Mustangs can no longer be specified with a manual transmission, so the 10-speed automatic is the only way to go.
Getting back to the Dark Horse models, things can get expensive if you select a few costly extras. Options like the Recaro leather-trimmed seats ($1,650), Pattern Painted stripes ($5,495), Dark Horse Handling Package ($4,995), Dark Horse Appearance Package ($1,500), and 10-speed automatic transmission ($1,595) can push the price of the Premium derivative close to the $80,000 mark.
That makes it nearly as expensive as the outgoing GT500, which is one of the best muscle cars that money can buy.
