The 2018 Ford Mustang's Pulsating Start Button Matches A Real Mustang's Heart Rate

Ford has revealed the new push button starter for the Mustang, which pulsates to the time of an actual Mustang's resting heart rate

Last week, we were looking at a Vilner-modified Ford Mustang which had actual Mustang leather on the inside, complete with hairy patches on the seats. It turns out Ford has given the 2018 Mustang a little nod to its horse-shaped namesake too, although you’ll be pleased to know it’s a little more tasteful that Vilner’s efforts.

It’s been given a Jaguar-style pulsating ‘heatbeat’ start button, which flicks on and off in time with the resting heart rate of a mustang horse - 30 beats per minute. Nice attention to detail, no?

even though real horses supposedly have about 1hp(it’s where the name comes from) depending on its lifestyle and this can get damn close at top trim, as well as past models easily having over 600.

Besides, Ferrari’s had their ass handed to them by noodle delivery men, a tractor manufacturer and the manufacturer you’re trying to put down, Ford.

I couldn’t imagine anyone cross shopping a Ferrari and a Mustang, they aren’t really competing

What heartbeat? Once all the blood gushes out of their severed arteries, there isn’t any heartbeat

What’s next? A Mustang horse with a Ford Mustang engine sound that activates when it wakes up?

Oh Neptune.

Nice gimmick, just like the dynamic turn signals on new Audis. Nobody really needs it, but I like it.

I bet that the turn signals concept won’t work with BMWs.

This is so gimmicky. If the product is good, it shouldn’t need things like this.

That’s not true, its the attention to detail that makes things that little bit more special

They gave attention to a purse snatcher. This is actually car related.
