California Special adds excitement
Since the first-generation Mustang, the California Special has represented a uniquely regionalized appearance package with special styling cues. The updated 2022 Mustang GT California Special embodies this tradition.
Based on the 2022 Mustang GT fastback and convertible models, the latest California Special Appearance Package pays respect to the original version’s blacked-out grille, lower bodyside accent stripe and rear fender scoop.
The heritage-inspired GT/CS side stripe trademark traces from the front fender to the signature rear fender scoop. A California Special badge in Ebony Black and Race Red script decorates the trunk lid, while the honeycomb grille with GT/CS badge provides a unique look. A larger front splitter from the GT Performance Package underscores the icon’s handling prowess.
A performance rear wing is available for the fastback model, while spoiler delete is standard for the California Special convertible.
The California Special wears unique five-spoke 19-inch painted machined wheels. Interior appointments include rich black Miko® suede door trim inserts and suede-trimmed seats with the embossed “GT/CS” logo and red contrast stitching.
The instrument panel is finished in carbon hex aluminium with a signature California Special script badge on the passenger side.
