PULSING START BUTTON ON NEW MUSTANG BEATS 30 TIMES PER MINUTE -- LIKE HEART OF A RESTING PONY

DEARBORN, Mich., March 30, 2017 – When the ignition button in the new 2018 Ford Mustang is pulsing red, one thing is certain – that pony is ready to run.

Among many updates on the new Mustang, the start button pulses red when the door is unlocked and until the powerful engine is started – giving the Mustang a heartbeat of sorts. At a rate of 30 beats per minute, the start button mirrors the resting heart rate of a pony.

On the backlit button, the words “Engine,” “Start” and “Stop” glow red. The button is encased in a handsome spun aluminum ring. It is positioned on the lower driver’s side of the center stack below the audio system and climate controls.

The new ignition button is one of many changes customers will see when the 2018 Mustang reaches showrooms this fall. Other highlights include a 12-inch all-digital, customizable instrument cluster, an available all-new 10-speed automatic transmission, and a redesigned front and rear end that give Mustang a leaner, more athletic appearance.

oh rly!

since the 2018 mustang is brand new.. It should be a foal, or young horse. and their heart rate is ~100% higher.

Either way, that is a pretty useless feature...

The pulse rate of an adult horse at rest averages 30-40 beats per minute (bpm). A pulse rate of 50 or higher in an adult horse at rest may mean the horse is in physical distress. The average pulse rates for young horses are as follows: Foals (70-120 bpm), Yearlings (45-60 bpm), 2yr. olds (40-50 bpm)

Looks to be real. Useless but very cool, I want it! The PCB is definitely different so no way get the pulsing lights, but I'm hoping the button itself will still be a direct swap with the 15-17'.

In the service department, My heart stopped, god damn it!

The 2018 can't stud since they cut it's nuts

Does anyone else think that looks gimmicky, tacky, and annoying?

I thought it was because of Cars and Coffee exit events....?:frusty:

Some of us are at work with heavy internet traffic filters--so nothing showing up in the 1st post--what stupid thing is everyone bitching about?

A pulsing start button light. Supposedly at the same heart rate as a resting horse.

Doesn't matter what the Mustang has or hasn't got, it will still be hated because people already have their minds made up.

The 7gen Camaro could be a soap box car and Motor Trend magazine will still praise it like it's the best thing ever...
