Kids Can Soon Drive Their Own Ford Mustang—by Fisher-Price

.
November 26, 2016

Remember the Fisher-Price toy brand? We’re quite certain you recall this name, or even had a few toys from the company as a kid. Well, the marque has just teamed up with Ford Motor Company to come up  with the ultimate cool toy—the Power Wheels Smart Drive Ford Mustang.

Inspired by the V8-powered Ford Mustang GT, the scaled-down version features a host of cool tech that makes it as realistic as possible, befitting of the actual car. At the heart of the toy is a computer-controlled power unit that allows kids to drive their way around. Parents, however, need not worry about their little one’s safety as the battery-operated Pony Car comes with a slew of kit to ensure that toddlers won’t take a nasty spill.

The list of equipment includes stuff like traction control, stability monitor to prevent tilting over, a slow start and stop function, and digital speed control. There is even a battery monitor to warn Junior when he needs to top up. But probably the coolest thing about this Mustang is the sound system. It has a recorded sound of an actual Mustang with a volume that rises and falls depending on vehicle speed. Children that want to listen to their own music can plug their audio device into the auxiliary input jack. Cool, huh?

The Fisher-Price Power Wheels Smart Drive Ford Mustang will be available in Blue or Pink beginning this December and retails for $359.99.
