Landing in the sweet spot between a standard Mustang and the bad-boy Shelby model, the 2019 Mustang California Special is powered by a GT motor with 460 hp and 420 lb-ft from a 5.0-liter V-8. The six-speed manual transmission also now offers automatic rev-matching technology. Visually it stands apart with upgrades like a fading stripe package, blacked-out grill, and special 5-spoke wheels. It goes on sale this summer, just in time for drop-top weather.
