A spy photo of a window sticker on a 2010 Mustang mule has revealed the same old 4.6-liter 3V V8 will be under the hood. Some Mustang fans will surely be dissapointed by this news as most were hoping for the return of the 5.0L motor. Even though it says 4.6L 3V V8 as the engine size, don’t think for a second Ford has not upped the horsepower to improve on the previous model. Personally I think the 2010 Mustang will see an increase in horsepower for the base Mustang GT somewhere in the nieghborhood of the Bullitt or Shelby GT (320 hp-330 hp).

If you look at history, a similar refresh took place from 1998-99 giving us new body panels, increase in horspower from 225 to 260 for basically the same motor and some other minor tweaks that included traction control.

Other options shown on the window sticker include 19″ wheels with 245/45 rubber, heated seats, dual climate control, glass roof and the next generation SYNC/DVD navigation which should be pretty sweet.

According to TMSBrad the 2010 Mustang’s 4.6L 3V V8 will get a boost in horsepower which is not new but has now been confirmed. Also the reason for the cowl hood in all the spy shots is due to a beefier strut tower brace. Other performance details include two performance packages being offered including an Acceleration Package and Heritage Performance Package.

Exterior details other than the new body panels, headlights, badging and side mirrors include 19″ wheels standard on GT models. Also a four pedestal spoiler will adorn the Mustang along with sequential turn signals being standard equipment.

The biggest news for the interior is it’s getting some color with all Grabber Blue cars having an optional interior package that includes Grabber Blue seat stitching and Grabber Blue inserts. There will also be a Dark Brown leather option similar to the King Ranch edition seats. Also an Orange colored interior will be optional, similar in color to the porno red leather but more Orange like.
