What is the Ford Mustang Nite Pony?

Drivers love the Ford Mustang for its powerful performance and the many customization options that Ford offers for its iconic sports car. For the 2023 model year, Ford is releasing yet another appearance package for the Mustang coupe and Mustang Mach-E, called Nite Pony. So what is the Ford Mustang Nite Pony package? Let’s take a closer look.

What Does the Nite Pony Package Include?

Mustang drivers are familiar with the Ice White appearance package, which gives the Mustang an Oxford White paint job, Oxford White Wheels, and Oxford White Pony badges. The Nite Pony package is the opposite, adding a black-painted roof, a black grille, and black Pony badges to the Mustang coupe. You can also expect 19-inch Ebony Black wheels, black mirror caps, and black blade decklid spoilers. 

On the Mach-E Premium, the Nite Pony package includes 19-inch high-gloss black wheels and a black Pony grille emblem. You can also add the Nite Pony package to the Mach-E GT Performance Edition to get high-gloss black wheels measuring 20 inches and a black GT badge. Both Mach-E Nite Pony packages feature black fascias, black door cladding, and black mirror caps. You can pair the Mach-E Nite Pony package with any exterior color in the Mach-E lineup. 

How Did Ford Decide on the Name Nite Pony?

Mustang drivers have a deep connection with the legendary vehicle, so it makes sense that Ford asked its fans to take part in naming the new package. After reviewing 29,000 online submissions, Ford narrowed it down to the top contenders, which included Alastor, Shadow Stallion, and Shadowmare. Nite Pony proved to be the overwhelming favorite, referencing the dark accents that the package adds and the instantly recognizable Pony logo. Plus, “pony” has been a popular nickname for the Mustang since its introduction in the 1960s. The Nite Pony name perfectly captures the spirit of the new appearance package.  

What Else Can Drivers Expect from the 2023 Mustang?

While the Nite Pony package gives the 2023 Mustang a more aggressive appearance, drivers can expect it to deliver the exhilarating performance they know and love. The 2023 lineup carries over the 2.3-liter EcoBoost inline-four and 5.0-liter V-8 engines currently available in the 2022 Mustang. These will pair with your choice of a 10-speed automatic or six-speed manual transmission. 

As for the 2023 Mustang Mach-E, this all-electric SUV will have a 314-mile driving range enhanced by eco-friendly features like regenerative braking, which sends excess energy to the Mach-E’s battery each time you apply the brakes. You can also look forward to a zero to 60 time of 5.2 seconds, which is impressive for an SUV but also expected for a vehicle that’s part of the Mustang family. 

Like all vehicles in the Ford lineup, you can count on the 2023 Mustang and Mustang Mach-E to give you several safety features. These include a lane-centering system, a blind-spot monitor, and a 360-degree camera. 

As you can see, there’s a lot to look forward to with the 2023 Mustang lineup, including the Nite Pony package. The 2023 Ford Mustang and 2023 Mustang Mach-E will soon be available to test drive. Stay tuned!
