1979 Ford Mustang Turbo
The Mustang was the very first pony car on the market, but it was also one of the first factory Turbos on the market. The car had the look and feel of a fox-body Mustang with a whole lot of new performance under the hood.
The turbocharged engine was a first for Ford and the Mustang. But it was a way to combat the rising fuel costs in the 1970s. Drivers didn’t want to spend money to operate a large V8 engine anymore (via Popular Mechanic).
