The current iteration of the Mustang GT Fastback has demonstrated a pleasantly purposeful look since it arrived on our shores back in late 2015. Its aesthetic was tastefully refined when it was updated in 2019.
The California Special package ups the ante and guarantees that the Mustang will continue to draw the attention of curious onlookers even after bring on our market for seven years.
The CS stands out from its regular GT sibling with a rear honeycomb grille featuring a red GT/CS badge and there are lower side stripes finished in black, red and grey. Incorporating GT/CS logos, the stripes run from the front to the rear for added visual appeal. Like the 1968 original, aerodynamic enhancements include a larger front splitter, with a rear wing from the GT Performance Package, and the CS introduces side air scoops behind the doors to the Mustang range in SA for the first time.
