The 2024 Mustang’s Remote Rev Blips The Gas From Across The Lot

With Remote Rev, Mustang owners can rev their Mustang in the driveway to their heart’s content. Ford will likely not claim responsibility for any noise complaints or grievances from the neighborhood’s homeowner’s association. 

A press release from Ford states that the brand is investing heavily in features that will appeal to younger Millennial and Gen-Z car buyers, and it’s hardly alone in seeing them as lucrative target audiences. Remote Rev likely won’t have too much appeal to serious car collectors who have owned every Mustang since the 1960s, but it might join the list of features like clever overhead USB ports, an electronic drift brake, and a decidedly high-tech dashboard that will attract a younger buyer. 

The 2024 Mustang joins the ranks of legendary vehicles like the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat in cars that are almost tailormade for scaring birds, dogs, children, and other wildlife. Aside from an unwieldy and very loud theft deterrent, there are practically zero real world scenarios where this feature would be useful. All the same, what price can you truly put on being able to pretend your new Mustang is actually K.I.T.T. from Knight Rider.
