Despite all the hype surrounding the 2024 Ford Mustang, we can’t forget about the 2023 model, and with Roush Performance announcing that its 2023 TrakPak Mustang is now available, it’ll be hard to. Inspired by over 25 years of Roush Performance Engineering, the 2023 Roush TrakPak Mustang features custom-calibrated MagneRide suspension, giving the Mustang unsurpassed handling. In addition, the package includes powertrain cooling upgrades, a performance exhaust, and competition tires. Customers can choose from an available 6-speed manual or 10-speed automatic transmission; this latest addition to the Roush stable is a purpose-built track machine designed for speed, power, and exquisite performance. And if you don’t want to wait for the new Mustang, this S550 upgrade might be just what you’re looking for.
2023 Roush TrakPak Ford Mustang Details
The 2023 TrakPak Ford Mustang’s Roush-calibrated MagneRide active suspension is highly responsive for corner carving at the track yet easily transitions to comfortable daily driving. Roush powertrain cooling components include transmission and differential coolers that work harmoniously with the performance oil cooling system and heat-extracting vents to decrease engine and driveline temperatures during spirited driving sessions.
Gloss black or Palladium Gray Roush 20-inch wheels wrapped in Continental ExtremeContact Sport tires help the TrakPak grip the pavement. Optional 20-inch high-performance Agate Gray forged wheels are also available for a more pronounced appearance. The 2023 Roush Ford Mustang TrakPak also features the Roush Active Exhaust System with an electronically controlled valve, giving the driver total control over the tone and volume of the TrakPak’s exhaust note. The driver can seamlessly toggle between touring, sport, track, and custom modes via a Roush-branded console-mounted selector dial. The exhaust exits the rear via black-tipped quad pipes. If you’re looking for even more control, the Active Exhaust application for iOS allows the driver to create their unique sound profile.
The body of Roush’s latest Mustang has been engineered to bring iconic styling while enhancing functionality. High-flow corner pockets and a lower grille front chin spoiler are paired with rear aerofoils and an exclusive Roush black spoiler for improved aerodynamics. In addition, the hood and fender heat extractors provide a more aggressive look while enhancing heat dissipation from the engine bay. As for the interior, Roush’s designers combed over every detail to further customize the experience from the driver’s seat. From premium black or Amaretto Brown leather seats to serialized TrakPak badging or the Roush shift ball (manual transmission only), the TrakPak’s interior is as comfortable on surface streets as it is on the raceway.
The 2023 Roush TrakPak Ford Mustang comes standard with Roush’s 3-year/36,000-mile warranty and starts at $20,150 above the original purchase price.
