Imagine that a time machine brings you to a criminal drama during the 1980s, yet you find yourself driving the latest Mustang car. That, in a nutshell, is what Ford’s 2026 Mustang FX is all about. This look honors the classic Fox Body Mustangs from the past with a new flavor that both fans and new drivers will notice. Alright, let’s head into understanding what makes the Mustang exciting and noteworthy.
What Exactly Is the FX Package?
The FX Package is an optional extra that improves the appearance of the 2026 Mustang GT Premium. The Fox Body touches you should think of are white badges, wheels, and neat grille details inside. It brings back memories with a new twist.
Who Is It For?
The package is mainly designed for millennials who attended high school during the ’80s and ’90s and desired Fox Bodies. You really can’t discuss the 1980s without talking about the Fox Body Ford Mustang, according to Joe Bellino, Mustang Brand Manager.
Exterior Styling: Wheels and More
Bold Oxford White is found on 19-inch wheels, either five-spoke or retro turbofan, and GT and 5.0 liter badges are also available. It gives the impression of a yin-yang design on a tough surface.
New Colors: Adriatic Blue & Orange Fury
The package includes Adriatic Blue Metallic, which is like the special Blues and Greens at one stage, and brings back Orange Fury Metallic Tricoat, which was introduced in 2019. We have nostalgia in a shape that fits 2022.
Interior Throwbacks: Plaid and Stitching
The plaid on the seats is meant to imitate the fabric found in classic Foxes, making it look like you’re stepping into the past. New energy-efficient LED lighting brightens the interior, and one can find City Silver or Adriatic Blue on the dash, steering wheel, doors, and the seat belts, which are available in International Orange, Prime Blue, or black with red stripes.
Technology Meets Nostalgia
Through Ford’s digital display system, the FX package can show classic-looking instruments that blends old designs with new technology.
Performance Package Compatibility
No matter if you go for automatic or manual and coupe or convertible, the FX starts with the FX package and can be paired with the GT Performance Pack. Therefore, it helps you get the most out of updated parts like your suspension, brakes, and turbo, all while not falling short anywhere.
Pricing & Availability
Although the model’s official cost has not decreased yet, you can place an order from late June 2025 onwards. Be sure to watch out for deadlines!
