Road & Track recently put together an article titled “The Strangest Car Features,” and it was pretty interesting to see what auto manufacturers are adding to their vehicles to get customer interest. From glowing speaker lights to a perfume dispenser, the sky is the limit when it comes to your next new car standing out in the crowd.
I was actually surprised to see that the Ford Mustang made the list (no, it wasn’t for the perfume dispenser!), and it was featured because of the new adjustable dashboard lighting that you can read about right here from that very article:
Lots of cars have adjustable interior lighting, but the Ford Mustang takes top marks for the sheer magnitude of different colors on offer. With the scroll of a button, the Mustang’s gauge cluster can be tuned to one of literally hundreds of hues. This should really be the default sports coupe for any manager of a Sherwin-Williams or Benjamin Moore paint store.
What’s even wackier is that, in a weird way, the Mustang’s interior light show really works wonders depending on the mood you’re in. Feeling racy? Switch the gauges to a fiery red and stomp the gas pedal. For relaxed highway cruising, opting for an icy blue or forest green helps calms things down.
Personally, I’ll go on record as saying that I am a fan of the Mustang’s adjustable dashboard lights, but I want to know what you think. Leave a comment below and tell me what you think about that feature, or what feature you would like to see on your next new car.
