Product Overview

Ford Mustang Mk5 Convertible (chassis code S197) is a mid-size convertible in production from 2005 to 2014. It was available with a range of V6 and V8 engines that displaced 4.0 to 5.8 liters.
Compared to the Mk4 Mustang Convertible, the Mk5 is markedly more powerful and has a rather sporty styling. Owners may find that at speed the vehicle consumes a lot more than the numbers indicate, thanks to a disappointing 0.38 coefficient of drag to show for it.
