High-Performance Package

New for 2020, the High-Performance Package ingeniously matches the Mustang EcoBoost model with a turbocharged 2.3-liter engine adapted from the Focus RS, creating the fastest and best-performing four-cylinder Mustang ever.

On premium fuel, the 2020 EcoBoost HPP churns out 332 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque. That’s about 20 horses and 40 lb-ft up from the Mustang’s standard engine. The model launches from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.5 seconds and brings a top speed of 155 mph. It is expected to return about 23 mpg in combined highway and city driving.

The package also tacks on an active valve performance exhaust with quad tips. The class-exclusive exhaust system lets you control the noise level of your exhaust at any given time, offering Quiet Start, Normal, Track and Sport settings. The High-Performance Package is available on all Mustang EcoBoost models, including coupe and convertible variants.
