2024 Seventh-Generation Ford Mustang in Hawaii

Back in 2014, when Top Gear magazine was a mere 263 issues old (21, in human years), we drove a Ford Mustang around America. Not across America, no. We visited every state. The thinking was this: the Mustang is 50 years old. The United States of America is made up of 50 states. So let’s visit every single one. We started right, finished bottom left. 11,175 miles in 15 days, four different crews, 32 tanks of fuel. And more pertinently, sleep deprivation, hallucination, a cabin odour that can still trigger a gag reflex and a quite profound admiration for America’s favourite sports car, the Mustang.
49 states in the plan had been to put the Mustang on a boat to Hawaii, only we didn’t get the chance. For years, it’s been unfinished business, until now…

All 50 states and a red Mustang. I read the original article back in 2014 when I was in the middle school, promised myself to do it. I might need a couple more years to do it, but I sure as hell will.

This is true Top Gear. if there's no TV filming coming back, I would be totally happy with Top Gear going full-time to KZbin and just doing "one man talking to the audience in a car" videos.

[@Terminxman]

There’s no real tv filming because the real top gear became the grand tour which is coming to an end also

No this is not true TG. True TG ended years ago with the exit of the trio.

[@effortlesschoice]

If you want to do something unique and exciting on Oahu, drive out to Dilingham Airfield (out by Haliewa), and go on glider/sailplane ride. You’ll (usually) go up and sail over the Makua Kea’au forest reserve and look down the other side of the island to the Makaha Valley. Trust me…its worth it. A flight in a non powdered glider will rock your world. One last tip for you, DO NOT leave anything in your rental…ever. 👍😎

The Mustang came to Alola 7th Gen Mustang in the place where Gen 7 took place. Pretty clever. ;3

[@MrZotteltier]

Is this about the island and culture or about the car? I think the car has less screen time than the rest. Weird how the video title suggest otherwise.

[@pauliewalnuts240]

Being the mustang is the last OG carrying the v8 sports car at an affordable price, I have to like it. I just dont understand why it's slowly tried to look more and more like a camaro. They were so much sexier and sleeker like 6 yrs ago. However, its the last game in town, if you want a sports car with a v8 manual trans with out selling your children, this is it.

[@exothermal.sprocket]

And why exactly should the WEF be able to tell the entire world what they are allowed to make in vehicles?

Cool to see the car culture in Oahu, but considering the H1 and H2 have a soeed limit of 25 mph (at least when I was there), and the fact that police use their personal vehicles would make me scared to do any type of speeding

What is the model of the retro blueish silver mustang 🐎?

[@exothermal.sprocket]

Which? 1974 to 1978 was garbage. Foxbody was 1979-1993 (refreshed in 1987). SN95 (New Edge) was 1994-2004 (refreshed in 1999). S197 was 2005 to 2014 (refreshed in 2010). 2011 was the introduction of the new 5.0L Coyote V8 engine. S550 was 2015 to 2023 (refreshed in 2018). S650 is 2024+ with the 3rd generation 5.0L Coyote V8 engine.

It also has the intercooled Limited Slip Rear Differential as the GT500

The only way to sell it in Europe is with a 999cc 3 cylinder engine

Im a 2015 GT owner who was looking to upgrade who has been kinda disappointed with the s650. For me, it's just not different enough to justify the VERY high price. Then there were some really questionable decisions. The worst of all being the increased weight. I remember complaining about the s550 weight but the s650 is approaching Dodge Challenger weight. Weight just hurts everything. I also really dont like the gloss black lipstick on the Gt's front bumper. Then there's the Dark Horse. I like the look of the DH but again...its not different enough to justify the price. It's basically a Mach 1 replacement thats significantly more money. The name Dark Horse is also bizarre. A screaming 5.0 v8 is not a "dark horse". That name and definition make far more sense for the Mach E. The emblem is kinda uhhhhh girly... just looks like something my gf in middle school wouldve drawn. Idk. Hopefully there's some cooler models coming out but im sure they'll be approaching 911 territory in terms of cost... it may be time for me to move on from Mustang but we'll see.
