2024 Mustang engines can now be revved via the car keys

The 5,000 rpm redline for the remote rev feature is pre-programmed to ensure the engine is kept safe.

Ford unveiled the seventh-generation iteration of the Mustang in September last year. The 2024 Ford Mustang comes with a host of new tech features compared to the old model - one of which is called the "Remote Rev". This new feature allows owners to rev up the engine of their Mustang through the car's key fob.

According to reports, the new Remote Rev feature will be available on models using the 5.0-litre V8 engine with an automatic transmission, as well as the 2.3-litre Ecoboost powered variants, which come fitted with Ford's Active Exhaust. Also, Ford has clarified that the feature can be used only after the engine has reached its optimal temperature, post a cold start.

Owers of the 2024 Mustang will need to press the unlock and lock buttons on the key fob sequentially within three seconds to activate Remote Rev. The engine will first rev to 2,000 rpm to indicate the feature is active. Owners then have to repeat the unlock & lock sequence for the second time, which will rev the engine three times up to 5,000 rpm.

The 5,000 rpm redline for the remote rev feature is pre-programmed to ensure the engine is kept safe. Post the three engine revs, the feature will go into standby mode, and customers can reactivate it by going through the same unlock & lock button press sequence on the key fob.
