The new exterior design for the 2010 Mustang was smoother, sleeker, and more aerodynamic than the outgoing model, yet also more aggressive. Despite this, Ford did an excellent job of preserving the retrofuturistic look that continued to evolve with modern design trends, while still maintaining the classic style that is intrinsic to the Mustang’s heritage. The taillights were also now of the distinctive sequential design, which had been a popular aftermarket upgrade.

Inside the cabin, things were spruced up considerably. The cockpit received a much-needed refresh, with vastly improved material quality and softness, better layout, and the option to add SYNC on most models. While nobody would mistake the interior for that of a luxury car, the use of more premium components was sorely needed and an oft-requested change from consumers.

Though the engines for the 2010 model year were the same as before, the GT’s motor was revised for increased output. The 4.6L V8 now produced 315hp and 325 lb-ft of torque, utilizing some of the enhancements from the previous year’s Bullitt model. This was a nice little jump in power output but would pale in comparison when the 5.0L V8 returned the following year.
