2015 Ford Mustang
Ford is all set to release its sixth-generation Mustang next year. The legendary muscle car appears to have been given heavy cosmetic surgery, but Ford designers say their inspiration stemmed strongly from the car’s first-generation ancestor–among other things including a panther, Steve McQueen and a fist breaking glass. Compared to its 2014 predecessor, this model looks longer, wider and definitely lower for a more grounded, sleeker and fiercer appeal. Inside, the driver’s controls prove more luxurious and dynamic, with a fully cow-clad steering wheel and high-tech features like driver-adjustable stability control, steering toggles, throttle and transmission systems, launch control, blind-spot monitors, cross-traffic alert, etc.
Performance-wise, drivers can choose from three engines: updated versions of the current 3.7-liter V6 with a projected 300 horsepower, a 5.0-liter V8 with projected 420 horsepower, and a new 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder that packs around 305 horsepower. Actual horsepower and fuel economy numbers will be released later, and Ford will also offer updated six-speed manual and automatic transmissions. At the same time, the 2015 Mustang presents Mustang’s first independent rear suspension which is expected to improve handling.
