Let’s take a deeper dive into the advanced safety features these Mustangs offer and why they make hiring a luxury car a wise decision.
The Ford Mustang GT V8 has long been recognised as a performance-driven beast, but its advanced safety systems ensure that its muscle is controlled and secure. Here’s how:
The GT is fitted with Adaptive Cruise Control, which automatically adjusts your speed to maintain a safe distance from the vehicle ahead. This feature is perfect for long-distance driving on Australia’s open roads, reducing the need to constantly adjust the throttle and allowing for a more relaxed experience behind the wheel.
Another standout feature of the Mustang GT is its Pre-Collision Assist, which scans the road ahead for potential hazards. If a potential collision is detected, the system will alert you and, if necessary, apply the brakes automatically to help avoid or mitigate an accident.
A car this powerful needs to stay in control. The Mustang GT's Lane-Keeping System helps prevent accidental lane departures by gently guiding you back into your lane if it detects that you've drifted too far. This is a major advantage when navigating unfamiliar or long stretches of road.
The Mustang GT also comes equipped with BLIS, which alerts you to vehicles in your blind spots, helping you make safer lane changes. In a car as agile as the GT, it ensures your manoeuvres are executed with confidence.
The Ford Mustang Bullitt is a head-turner with a design that pays homage to its cinematic history. Yet, underneath this stylish exterior lies a suite of modern safety technologies designed to keep you secure while enjoying the drive.
In a car with this much power, maintaining control is key. The Bullitt’s ESC system monitors your vehicle’s behaviour and can reduce engine power or apply brakes to individual wheels if it detects a loss of control. Whether you're navigating a tight corner or driving in less-than-ideal conditions, ESC helps you keep the Bullitt firmly planted on the road.
Reversing a high-performance vehicle can sometimes be tricky, especially in urban settings or when parking. The Bullitt’s rear-view camera takes the guesswork out of reversing, providing you with a clear view of what’s behind, making it easier to avoid obstacles and park with precision.
For a performance car like the Bullitt, tyre health is crucial. The TPMS constantly monitors tyre pressure and alerts you if it drops below the recommended level. Properly inflated tyres not only ensure better fuel efficiency but also improve handling and reduce the risk of blowouts.
The R-SPEC Mustang is built for those who want raw, track-ready performance. But alongside that exhilarating speed comes a host of safety features to ensure you can unleash the car’s full potential without compromising safety.
The R-SPEC’s Launch Control system helps drivers achieve a perfect start every time. It optimises acceleration by preventing wheel spin and keeping the vehicle stable, allowing you to enjoy the thrill of maximum speed without losing control.
With the added speed and power of the R-SPEC comes the need for enhanced braking. Its high-performance brake system, which includes larger discs and Brembo brake calipers, provides excellent stopping power, even in high-stress driving conditions.
The R-SPEC’s Traction Control System keeps the car stable during rapid acceleration or when driving on slick surfaces. It adjusts engine power and applies braking to individual wheels if necessary, ensuring maximum grip and control.
The Herrod edition of the Mustang is one of the most powerful variants, but its advanced safety technology ensures that drivers can push this beast to the limit while remaining protected.
The Herrod is equipped with Forward Collision Warning, which alerts you if you're approaching a vehicle too quickly. This early warning system can help prevent accidents, giving you enough time to react and avoid potential hazards on the road.
Long drives or spirited handling can sometimes lead to driver fatigue. The Herrod’s Driver Attention Monitoring system detects signs of drowsiness and alerts the driver, encouraging them to take a break and refresh before continuing the journey.
Navigating tight parking spaces can be daunting, especially with a high-performance vehicle like the Herrod. The parking sensors provide audible alerts as you approach obstacles, making parking easier and helping prevent low-speed collisions.
