The Ford Mustang is a sports car produced by the American manufacturer Ford. First introduced in 1964, it established the “pony car” segment, defined by compact proportions, a long hood, and a short rear deck. The Mustang quickly became one of the most recognizable and best-selling performance-oriented cars in the United States.

The Mustang has been offered primarily as a two-door coupe and convertible, typically seating four passengers in a 2+2 configuration. Engine options have ranged from economical inline engines to high-performance V8 units, with various performance-focused variants developed over the decades.

Over multiple generations, the Ford Mustang has evolved in design, technology, and performance while maintaining its distinctive styling cues and rear-wheel-drive layout. It is widely associated with American automotive culture and motorsport and remains a prominent model in the global sports car market.
