The 2008 Mustang GT is a modern muscle car that blends classic American style with modern performance and technology. As part of the fifth-generation S197 platform, the 2008 GT takes heavy inspiration from the late ’60s Mustangs, featuring retro lines, bold grille design, and a muscular stance.
Under the hood, it packs a 4.6-liter SOHC V8 engine producing 300 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque, delivering a throaty exhaust note and strong straight-line acceleration. The GT offers a choice between a 5-speed manual or 5-speed automatic transmission, both paired with rear-wheel drive for a traditional muscle car feel.
With features like dual exhaust, fog lamps, optional 18-inch wheels, and a host of appearance packages, the 2008 GT stands out visually while delivering strong performance. Inside, it offers a driver-focused cockpit, with available leather seats, Shaker audio systems, and modern comforts alongside vintage-inspired gauges and styling.
