Ford priced the 2026 Mustang GT Fastback at $46,800. Destination is $1,995. That is $48,795 before tax. The GT Fastback lists a standard 6-speed manual with rev matching.

GT and Dark Horse keep the clutch. EcoBoost does not.
Ford’s official specs table on ford.com/cars/mustang and the GT Fastback model page split the gearbox by trim. EcoBoost Fastback and Convertible: 10-speed automatic only. No 6MT on those rows. GT Fastback, GT Premium Fastback, and GT Premium Convertible: standard 6-speed manual with rev matching, available 10-speed automatic. Dark Horse and Dark Horse Premium: standard TREMEC 6-speed manual, available 10-speed automatic. Dark Horse SC: TREMEC 7-speed dual-clutch. That is not a three-pedal car.
GT axle is a 3.55 limited-slip. Dark Horse prints a 3.73 TORSEN limited-slip on the manual and a 3.55 TORSEN on the automatic with Performance Package. EcoBoost stays at 3.15 limited-slip behind the 10-speed.
315. 480. Or 500.
