Ford Motor Company unveils 2015 Ford Mustang to international audience

Several key design features will define the all new Mustang. These include:

• A lower, wider stance with a reduction in roof height and wider rear fenders and track
   

• Three dimensional, tri-bar tail lamps with sequential turn signals (sequential turn signals carry over from the current models)
   

• A contemporary execution of the typical Shark Bite front fascia and trapezoidal grille.
   

• The return of the Mustang fastback with a sleeker profile enabled by more steeply sloped windshield and rear glass.

Mustang convertible drivers will appreciate the standard multilayer insulated cloth top that gives the car a more upscale appearance and a quieter cabin. The new top lowers nicely and twice as fast as before, with a sleeker profile when folded for open air motoring.

The information and controls an active driver needs are all readily accessible in the aviation inspired cockpit, which is executed with the highest degree of craftsmanship ever found in a Mustang. Large, clear instrumentation puts vehicle information right in front of the driver in the roomier cabin, while improved ergonomics and tactile switches and knobs provide better control. The added width and a new rear suspension contribute to improved shoulder and hip room for passengers and a more usefully shaped trunk can accomodate two golf bags.

Mustang GT continues with the latest edition of the throaty 5.0 liter V8, now featuring an upgraded valve train and cylinder heads that yield more than 420 horsepower and 390 lb ft of torque. A new intake manifold improves low speed breathing for better fuel economy, idle stability and emissions.

The Mustang EcoBoost engine uses direct injection, variable cam timing and turbocharging to deliver plenty of useable performance and projected segment leading fuel efficiency. A unique intake manifold and turbocharger housing enable it to deliver the performance Mustang drivers expect with output projected at more than 305 horsepower and 300 lb. ft. or torque.

The new double ball joint front MacPherson strut system also enables the use of larger, more gripping brakes. This is expected to be the best stopping Mustang yet, with three available brake packages.

At the rear is an all new integral link independent rear suspension. The geometry, springs, dampers and bushings all have been specifically modified and tuned for this high performance application. New aluminum rear knuckles help reduce unsprung mass for improved ride and handling.
