Ford Coupes

There have been many iconic motorcars produced by the brand over the years, with nameplates such as the 1927 Model A Ford Coupe, 1932 Deuce, and 1938 DeLuxe all leaving their mark in the automotive history books. Each vehicle was offered in varying trims and body configurations with names like Super DeLuxe or Business Coupe, and with either four or two-door layouts and even 5-window or 3-window modes. While the Model A could be considered the brand’s first official coupe and one of the best-selling machines of the era, the Deuce, in particular, with the automaker’s first-ever V8 engine, essentially spurred the hot rod craze in the USA.

When it comes to modern 2-door Ford sports coupes, only the GT performance car and Mustang persevere from the Blue Oval. The latter, classified as a pony car because of its dimensions, has been in production since 1964, making it the brand’s longest-running nameplate. Though there are many variations of the ‘Stang, all share the recognizable exterior aesthetics, including an aggressively long hood, 2-door layout, and short trunk and rear overhang, all of which are unified by a muscle-car-like bulkiness.

New Ford Coupe Models List and Specifications

• Mustang - Pricing for the standard version of this iconic automobile has always been competitively low, even the new 2020 iterations carry a really accessible MSRP with the lineup starting at only $26,670. That’s cheaper than the 2019 Taurus full-size sedan. With its low price and surprisingly comprehensive standard feature specifications and impressive performance, there’s plenty of value from this RWD pony. Its 2.3-liter turbo-four motor with outputs of up to 330 horsepower and 350 lb-ft, along with its six-speed manual gearbox, make it one of the most enjoyable budget-friendly sports cars out there.
• Mustang Shelby GT350 - With a burly 526-hp 5.2-liter V8 under the hood and a standard-fit six-speed manual gearbox to boot, this 2-door Ford coupe is clearly a ride for avid driving enthusiasts. Additionally, despite its ferocious power levels and sportily-tuned underpinnings, it doesn’t compromise on comfort or practicality for that matter, with 13.5 cubic feet of cargo space in the trunk.
• Mustang Shelby GT500 - Like the image of the cobra on the front of its grille, the GT500 is a venomous muscle car imbued with aggression. With its 760-hp V8 mill and specially tuned seven-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox, it’s capable of sprinting from 0-60 mph in a quick 3.5 seconds or less. While it used to be cursed by horrid handling, the manufacturer did an excellent job fine-tuning its underpinnings for far more poised cornering capability.
• GT - Nothing screams speed quite like the exterior of the high-performance GT, though it’s something most won’t get to drive but only see on magazine covers, in pictures and video. It’s a limited production mid-engine supercar that is for sale only to an exclusive group of aficionados chosen through a stringent review process. Successful applicants will then have to scoop out around $500,000 to purchase the 660-horsepower V6-powered rarity.
