S-197 Mustang Workshop Manuals & Repair Guides
The S-197 Mustang (2005-2014)
The 2005-2014 Ford Mustang, designated as the S-197 platform, marked a significant redesign that brought back the classic styling cues of the 1960s Mustangs. This retro-modern approach resonated with enthusiasts and introduced a new generation to the Mustang legacy.
This generation featured several powertrain options, from the base V6 to the GT's 4.6L and later 5.0L "Coyote" V8 engines. Special editions like the Boss 302, Bullitt, and the supercharged Shelby GT500 delivered exceptional performance that rivaled much more expensive sports cars.
With its improved chassis, interior quality, and modern technology, the S-197 Mustang balanced daily drivability with performance capabilities, making it one of the most versatile and beloved generations in Mustang history.
