Whoa. I thought it was named after the Mustang horse, since there are horse emblems all over the cars.

It's not actually an animal is it? That has to be some marketing bs right?

100% made up. They went all out when they announced the Camaro. They sent out cryptic invites to automotive journalists for the reveal and made up a fake organization for the eradication of panthers, it’s code name during development, and invited them to join. The press conference was the first and last meeting of said organization.
