The 2015 Mustang GT is the flagship trim of a fully made-over Mustang family. Styling is updated inside and out, and the new ‘Stang gets Ford’s latest cabin and safety tech. Coupes are priced from $24,700, including transportation. Convertibles start at $30,200.

A new, fully independent suspension (the first all-independent suspension in a mainstream Mustang) brings huge improvements to both ride and handling. An efficient new 310-hp turbocharged EcoBoost four-cylinder engine joins two engines carried over from last year, a 300-hp V-6 and the GT’s 435-hp eight.

The GT ($33,200) balances traditional American muscle with the reactions of a European grand touring machine. It’s one of the most comfortable Mustangs I’ve driven — and one of the most raw and audacious.

Its 5.0-liter direct-injected V-8 makes 400 pound-foot of torque. When paired with a six-speed manual transmission, it adds a launch-control program that enables a 4.4-second 0-60 sprint. Sourced from German builder Getrag, the transmission operates with the same, mechanical sureness as my father’s WWII-vintage 8mm Mauser rifle.

An optional GT Performance Package — larger brakes, extra chassis bracing and Pirelli P Zero tires on 19-inch wheels — deepens the GT’s track-ready persona, without shredding Its civility. Passengers aren’t coddled, but neither are they abused.
