2026 Ford Mustang FX Package Caters to Gen X Enthusiasts yearning for a Contemporary Fox Body Revival
Hello there! Get hip to the latest from our platform - a daily dose of automotive news, reviews, and hot takes, all at your fingertips.
Gaze upon the radical revamp of the iconic Ford Mustang! This one's a tip of the hat to the iconic Fox Body Mustangs of yore. The current-gen S650 Mustang gets a Fox Body-themed digital dashboard layout, and now, they've unveiled the FX Package, a tribute to 80s style like no other.
Just take a gander at those wheels, baby! They've got two styles: one's a riff on the Mustang's existing 19-inch five-spoke, while the other, pictured here, resembles the original Fox Body design, all decked out in neon white. Even the nostrils on the grille get a dose of vibrant Oxford White, potentially the zennest '80s touch out there.
Ford didn't skimp on the interior either. The Mustang GT's Recaro bucket seats don black and white perforated leather with plaid inserts, harkening back to the Fox Body's fabulous fabric inserts. Plus, the interiors boast swanky white trim and badging, all styled to reawaken memories of the car's legendary past.
So, you want the FX Package, huh? Well, grab a Mustang GT Premium model first, then you can apply the FX Package to coupes or convertibles sporting six-speed Tremec manual or 10-speed automatic transmissions. The price tag hasn't been revealed yet, so we'll need to wait till June, when order banks open.
Man, I can see myself cruising around in a spiffy convertible model, letting that glorious 5.0-liter Coyote engine roar, and giving it all the revs it craves. I might not have the new Mustang dough, but who needs reality when we've got nostalgia-infused fantasy?
