This Mustang is not a domestic independent brand car but a genuine Ford sports car, with a brand logo featuring a galloping horse. Ford Mustang has introduced a low-displacement version, but its performance is indeed inferior to the 5.0-liter version.

Speaking of the 'Wild Donkey,' this nickname is actually quite amusing—it refers to the Ford Mustang. Since I can remember, this car has been an icon of muscle cars, embodying the essence of American automotive culture from its first-generation model in the 1960s to the present. Why call it a 'Wild Donkey'? The emblem clearly features a galloping horse! This nickname is probably a playful term of endearment from domestic car enthusiasts—after all, the car's stubborn, spirited drive resembles the lovable stubbornness of a wild donkey.
