2019 New York Auto Show: 10 Best Debuts | Men’s Journal

Though the Mustang GT’s V-8 sounds more sonorous and boasts more power, Mustangs powered by smaller EcoBoost engines have an advantage: noticeably lighter front ends. That in mind, you could call this the thinking man’s Mustang, since it pairs a more powerful (but still lightweight) engine with some handling parts previously reserved for the V-8 model.

New to the GTS model is a new “dynamic all wheel drive” model that adds a mechanical limited slip differential. Digital controls allow you to “amplify” the car’s rear dynamics, so you can distribute from 60 to 100 percent of the power to the back. A drift mode holds your gear during wheelspin, and presumably, turns tires into clouds. While you’re waiting for replacements, you can spend the time appreciating the GTS’s unique orange paint job or listen to its 720-watt Harmon/Kardon stereo. Kia says the Stinger will hit later this spring. It’ll cost about 45 grand.
