The 2010 Ford Mustang got the highest government safety rating for front and side impacts and performance in rollover tests. The safety begins with the 2010 Mustang’s body structure made of high-strength steel. For extra side impact protection, ultra high-strength steel is used in the intrusion beams.

The advantage of such a construction has resulted in a significant increase in the stiffness in the coupe and convertible versions of Mustang. Further safety feature of the latest Ford Mustang is the front structure crush zones that have been designed using computers. They function by absorbing the energy from an impact in a controlled manner and dissolve it before it can reach the passenger section of the car. The front frame rail design of the new Mustang came about through countless design repetitions and their octagonal shape is designed to spread the crash force evenly to protect the occupants of the car. Last month, when the 2010 Mustang was released, it got almost 40 percent of the retail of the sport car segment and its superb safety ratings are only a part of what makes it a high seller.
