It's not as groundbreaking as I thought. I'm just interested in what the 16 will offer...

[OG Fox]

My render using Galpins render as a base. just tweaked the color and added gt500 style spoiler. will change the wheels later.

[DirtyD]

I'm starting to like it more and more every time I see it.

Too bad I couldn't wait. Oh well. I love my car still.

[saunupe1911]

Paddle shifters, rev matching manual, big brakes on all 4 corners, modern interior, torsen differential, oil coolers... There's a lot that I like about that car but I won't purchase this first batch or GT. A boss or GT500 is in my eyesight. I need a more aggressive looking version

[Grandpa]

With all the new additions to the Mustang, now I can't wait to see how it performs. Hopefully it does really well.

[saunupe1911]

I'm confused on the release. Ford says available late 2014. In realistic terms that means spring 2015 deliveries. A year early revealing is long as hell isn't it? What am I missing? What happened to the spring 2014 revealing to coincide with the anniversary?

Introducing :: The All-New 2015 Ford Mustang

After seemingly forever, Ford finally pulls the covers off the much anticipated 2015 S550 Mustang. (http://www.svtperformance.com/forums/front-page-news-143/981197-introducing-2015-ford-mustang.html)

Dec 5, 2013 | Dearborn, Mich.
Ford Mustang Marks 50 Years with All-New Sleek Design, Innovative Technologies and World-Class Performance


All-new sophisticated design clearly inspired by 50 years of Mustang heritage evolved to attract wider array of customers and expand global market availability

Mustang now available with three engines offering a broader power of choice – a more powerful 5.0-liter V8, a 3.7-liter V6 and an all-new fuel-efficient 2.3-liter EcoBoost® engine

Mustang sets new performance and dynamics benchmarks for the brand with world-class handling, more precise steering control and enhanced ride comfort


The next chapter in the life of the iconic pony car begins today as the all-new Ford Mustang – loaded with innovative technologies and delivering world-class levels of performance – is simultaneously revealed around the globe in six cities on four continents.

“Ford Mustang inspires passion like no other car,” said Raj Nair, Ford group vice president, global product development. “The visceral look, sound and performance of Mustang resonates with people, even if they’ve never driven one. Mustang is definitely more than just a car – it is the heart and soul of Ford.”

Mustang’s impact goes well beyond the 9 million-plus cars sold in its 50 years of continuous production. It has made thousands of appearances in film, television, music and video games, and is the world’s most-liked vehicle on Facebook. For the first time ever, Ford will bring Mustang to customers in key parts of Europe and Asia.

“We crafted this car with the goal of creating a contemporary interpretation of Mustang – an American automotive icon that symbolizes optimism and freedom for millions of people around the world,” said Jim Farley, executive vice president of Ford global marketing, sales and service and Lincoln.

All-new shape, yet unmistakably Mustang
The clean-sheet design of both Mustang fastback and convertible evokes the essential character of the brand, retaining key design elements – including the long sculpted hood and short rear deck – with contemporary execution.

“You only get one chance to make a first impression, and when you see this car you immediately see a Mustang strong and true,” said Moray Callum, Ford executive director, design, The Americas.

Several key design features define the all-new Mustang, including:


A lower, wider stance with a reduction in roof height, and wider rear fenders and track
The return of Mustang fastback with a sleeker profile enabled by more steeply sloped windshield and rear glass
Three-dimensional, tri-bar taillamps with sequential turn signals
Contemporary execution of the signature shark-bite front fascia and trapezoidal grille


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 twice as fast as before, and has 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 accommodate two golf bags.

The Mustang experience
The way Mustang looks, drives and sounds is key to the visceral experience that makes drivers just want to get in and hit the road. With more options to choose from, there is a Mustang to fit any lifestyle. The upgraded V6 and V8 are joined by an all-new 2.3-liter EcoBoost® engine that brings state-of-the-art technology to Mustang.

Mustang GT continues with the latest edition of the throaty 5.0-liter V8, now featuring an upgraded valvetrain 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.

“This EcoBoost engine delivers where a Mustang driver expects it to, with a broad, flat torque curve that pours out when you stand on it for easy passing or hustling down a twisty road,” said Dave Pericak, Ford Mustang chief engineer.

The Mustang EcoBoost engine uses direct injection, variable cam timing and turbocharging to deliver plenty of usable 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. of torque.

With at least 300 horsepower and 270 lb.-ft. of torque on tap from the standard 3.7-liter V6, even the most accessible Mustang delivers the performance customers expect.

Drivers will appreciate smoother shifts from the updated manual gearbox, while a reworked automatic transmission features new steering wheel-mounted shift paddles for drivers who want the choice between convenience and control.

Most nimble pony ever
When life throws drivers a curve, the all-new Mustang sets new handling benchmarks for the brand, delivering world-class dynamics and ride quality.

“We already set a very high standard for Mustang’s dynamics with Boss 302, and our goal was to go above and beyond that with this new car,” said Pericak.

Mustang features all-new front and rear suspension systems. At the front, a new perimeter subframe helps to stiffen the structure while reducing mass, providing a better foundation for more predictable wheel control that benefits handling, steering and ride.

The new double-ball-joint front MacPherson strut system also enables the use of larger, more powerful 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.

Smarter than your average pony
The all-new Mustang features a significant amount of innovative technologies providing drivers with enhanced information, control and connectivity when they want it. From Intelligent Access with push-button start to SYNC® and MyKey® in every Mustang built, plus available Track Apps, MyColor gauges and new Shaker Pro audio system, drivers will be able to customize their time behind the wheel.

The feeling of freedom and confidence Mustang instills in its drivers is amplified when they can take control of how the car behaves. On a twisty back road or a weekend track day, the driver can tap the toggle switches on the console to quickly adjust steering effort, engine response, and transmission and electronic stability control settings using the available Selectable Drive Modes to create the perfect Mustang at any time.

The advanced new Ford-developed stability control system is tuned to maximize Mustang’s dynamic capabilities. When the time comes to turn up the wick at the track, Mustang GT includes standard launch control that enables drivers to achieve smooth, consistent starts every time.

When it’s time to back off and relax for the drive home, available advanced driver-assist features including Blind Spot Information System with cross-traffic alert and adaptive cruise control can help ease the load, while SYNC AppLink™ lets drivers control their smartphone apps to listen to their favorite form of entertainment.

50 years of Mustang
April 17, 2014, marks the 50th anniversary of the introduction of the original Ford Mustang and each 2015 model celebrates the milestone with a badge on the instrument panel that includes the galloping pony logo and the words “Mustang – Since 1964.” Mustang will continue to be built in the United States at Flat Rock Assembly Plant.

“From day one, we knew if we were going to build a new Mustang, we had to do it right,” said Pericak. “We built a new Mustang from the ground up that is quicker, better-looking, more refined and more efficient, without losing any of the raw appeal that people have associated with Mustang for half a century.”

[DirtyD]

Paddle shifters, rev matching manual, big brakes on all 4 corners, modern interior, torsen differential, oil coolers... There's a lot that I like about that car but I won't purchase this first batch or GT. A boss or GT500 is in my eyesight. I need a more aggressive looking version
rev-matching is only with the select-shift A6, not the manual.

[BV600]

I like the interior a lot, the headlights and taillights and color matched lower diffuser is killing it for me.

[saunupe1911]

rev-matching is only with the select-shift A6, not the manual.

Makes the A6 even better. It's going to be a beast

[DirtyD]

I like the interior a lot, the headlights and taillights and color matched lower diffuser is killing it for me.
I love the tail light design, but I hate that they keep making the rear end of the car slanted.

I agree with everything else you said though.

[G-Mann]

I like it but I wish Ford had been a bit more radical. They definitely did not screw it up.

Can't wait to see the official specs but it does appear to be a much improved track capable car if they live up to besting boss 302 track performance.

Hitting the 3yr mark in my 2012 so I got a year or so to let the dust settle and see how the numbers compare to other cars on my short list.

Overall I say good job ford just wish it was a bit more exotic looking.

[Grandpa]

I have to say, I'm liking the way the convertible is looking. Some serious potential there.

[re-rx7]

I like it but I like my 11 more. The real story will be how big does it look in person.

[Slow Five-O]

I'm in love with this car. It will be mine. Oh yes.

The top end of the Coyote is all new starting with a brand new cylinder head casting that features revised ports for straighter paths to the valves, and less flow restriction. The heads also feature larger intake, and exhaust valves, and revised intake and exhaust camshafts will also contribute to the Coyote making more power, and breathing better all the way to redline. Stiffer valve springs will help the Coyote howl at higher RPMs as well.

The variable cam system has been updated as well. New mid-lock phasers enable better control of the camshaft timing through a greater range of engine RPM. This should improve fuel economy, emissions, and hopefully power as well.

A new, intake manifold is also in use for better low end response and improved emissions compliance. The intake includes charge motion control valves that close off at lower RPMs and improve intake turbulence.

2015 Coyote Key Features:

Larger intake valves
Larger exhaust valves
Revised intake camshafts
Revised exhaust camshafts
Stiffer valve springs – ensures that the valves close completely at high rpm
New cylinder-head casting – revised ports that provide a straighter path to the valves for less-restrictive intake and exhaust flow; combustion chamber modifications accommodate larger valves
Sinter forged connecting rods – lighter and more durable for high-rpm operation
Redesigned piston tops – deeper cutouts clear the new larger valves
Rebalanced forged crankshaft – supports higher-rpm operation

Transmissions

Ford is promising the best driving experience yet in manual transmission equipped Mustangs. The Getrag MT-82 six-speed manual is being carried over from the 2011-2014 models. Ford has revised the shift linkage for shorter throws and a crisper feel. They’ve also moved the shifter closer to the drive for easier access, locating it away from the cupholders.


In the automatic department a six-speed auto is once again available. The auto has been significantly revised. A new case with reinforcing ribs for added strength and reduced weight is part of the package. The clutches have been revised, and the transmission operates at higher temperatures for improved friction characteristics. The output shaft has a new ball bearing support, allowing for 155 mph top speed according to Ford.

What enthusiasts who choose the automatic will really like though is the steering wheel mounted paddle shfiters that will be standard on all automatic equipped Mustangs. We talked about this a while back in a spy photo story that we ran. In addition to being a bonus for auto owners, those looking to tackle twisty back roads, or even the autocross with the auto equipped Mustang will benefit from the rev-matching downshift feature

[DirtyD]

The MT-82 is still going to be an MT-82 with remote mount. Very curious to see if it does in fact feel better that ours does.

[Crimson600+HP]

I want to see one on a road course. The performance pack with the 2.3L Ecoboost comes with 6 pistons calipers...those are some serious brakes that were exclusive to only the GT500. I think styling is a little bland, but after the aftermarket catches up these things will look great.

[saunupe1911]

none of the pics show brembo's on the rear, just bigger rotors. Rear big brakes DOES make a difference on vehicles, especially heavy vehicles. Just ask GM. Even BMW caught wind and they once said they would never switch to a fixed caliper.

Now a 2.3L Ecoboost getting revealed a few days after the WRX must has Subaru pissed....add Nissan and Mitsu to that list too. It's specs say a motortrend best driver's car top 5 finish.

All GTs come standard with 14" 4 piston Brembos. The Performance Pkg GT comes with 15" 6 piston Brembos now. The rear brakes are supposed to be around 13" on the PP as well.

Yep but the pics on Ford have the rear with non brembo caliper, but you can tell they are about 13 inch rotors

[GTOphil]

Not a fan. The "fastback" rear is ok but the front looks worse than the Fusion and they copied too much Corvette/GT-R for the quarter window.

Maybe it'll grow on ya- but so far I think it's ugly.

[saunupe1911]

I think the grill is simply too large. They should have made it smaller and lower similar to a DB9 or Vanquish. I'm curious to see what the aftermarket comes up with.

[03MachMe]

I love it. I'll wait to till 16 or 17 year model and see if a new mach 1 comes out before I think about trading up, if I don't get a boss 302 before that.

[DirtyD]

I don't think they are Brembos, but at least they are larger rear brakes period.

This is what I'm thinking for myself (minus the Boss part). Just depends on how much I've dumped into my car and what it is by then.

[pohnjarker]

looks badass to me...only way i'd probably ever have one is after my divorce. i want a truck first before i think about trading in for a new one.

Unless you meant that as hypothetical as a result of getting the car...

[brtnstrns]

I absolutely love the car. The interior is freaking sweet and the rear end is gorgeous...reminds me of a 65/66 Fastback brought to the 21st century. Gonna have to pull back a little on my plans for the Mach 1, I may need one of these in my garage.

I'm just scared that with all that power and technology, a V8 GT is going to be in the upper $30ks to lower $40ks for a base model. Because there's no way I could get one without the large brakes and recaros!

[Toby]

Not going to say I hate the styling, because I love an Aston Martin, but I hate the fact it's called a mustang. Just like the new corvette, resembles a Ferrari. The corvette and mustang are Americana, lets keep the styling of them just that.

I'm getting a 2017 SVT cobra.

I think its pretty bad ass. Id like to get a 16 to be exactly 30 yrs younger than its stable mate. I would want a gt350 or svo more than likely. Need to pay off some bills so I can afford another car payment. Lol

[Grandpa]

I'm getting a 2017 SVT cobra.

Good luck with that.

[garner]

I love it. Just wish there were more color choices

I think we're gonna see a GT top $50k now

[Dominic Toretto]

Not sure how I feel about that 400 awkward angles of the front end but, I like the rest of the car. Very curious to see what the new 5.0 produces.

[Dominic Toretto]

Dave "...from 412 to 420 horse? Well, we're going to take it a step further." LOL Okay?

Well based on the stuff he stated from the specs, I am expecting a solid 445-450hp and 410tq number. That would put it pretty even with the LT1 that will inevitably end up in the Camaro SS.

Why is there a turbo 4 AND a V6?

-Alex

[Dan12GT]

I love everything about it except the rear lower valence. I don't like how there are two non-painted parts between a painted part. Kinda don't like the reverse light location, other than that I love it all!.

[Slow Five-O]

I think 420 is a little conservative. Also i don't think they want to go much higher probably do they can sell the mach 1/gt350/cobra

Anyone thinking about upgrading? I love to look, but the back(not the tails) I need to get used to.

[Dominic Toretto]

Anyone thinking about upgrading? I love to look, but the back(not the tails) I need to get used to.

I may when the aftermarket fixes the Evo-inspired front end. It didn't work on the Charger and it doesn't work on the Mustang either IMO. Everything else about it is great.

-Alex

[Grandpa]

Anyone thinking about upgrading? I love to look, but the back(not the tails) I need to get used to.

If they do a Mach I'm sure the wife will want one. I'm really starting to dig the new Mustang. I think lowering it and the nice set of wheels will really make it look badass. With those bulging fenders and fastback design, some rear deep lip wheels are going to look outstanding!

[El_Tortuga]

Lots to like about about the 15, but my 14 isn't going anywhere.

[Dan12GT]

If I do upgrade I will probably do it at the tail end of this model reign as the 2020 model will have subtle changes.

I agree on the power thing too. I wouldn't expect anymore more than 440ish.

[DirtyD]

yep

Lol. Just slap me.

[Midnight11]

im thinking about it. will trade in the fiesta so i can have two :D

[Slow Five-O]

I've never had the desire to own a brand new car

Well said. Im eager to learn about spin off models, like a mach or gt350 with twins that was speculated... id pay 50 k for a stang with factory tt coyote and all the upgrades...

[Grandpa]

Considering the GT500 was $62k+, I seriously doubt it would be that cheap.

[STROKD]

Considering the GT500 was $62k+, I seriously doubt it would be that cheap.

Gt 350 is the 500s baby brother... they still plan a big hp 500 car.. so unless they want to price thr 500 in the 70s, the 350 should be 50 somethin.

Considering the GT500 is now no longer going to be produced, it will be 60k+

Its also extememly expensive to produce. The height of the engine is also the problem. Thats why the 5.0 took over.

Widht may end pu being just enough to shoehorn it in there, but I see no way that height of the 5.8 with the blower will fit into this new car's engine bay.

Like the renderings though.

So someone makes a pic of a GT500 in the new body style must means they are making one. SMH. And can you find a bigger pic Steve?:slap:

[GTOphil]

Am I the only one that prefers the 11-14 over the 2015?

I like a little retro and the new one doesn't look like it's quite sure what it is...

If the catfish mouth, Nissan window and Datsun taillights were changed it would be better.

[G-Mann]

Well said. Im eager to learn about spin off models, like a mach or gt350 with twins that was speculated... id pay 50 k for a stang with factory tt coyote and all the upgrades...

++1 Going to bust a move about this time next year and right now a C7 is what I would get. Hope Ford can bring something to the table that can whoop it.

I just don't like that the Mustang now looks like every other Ford in the front. At least it used to be uniquely Mustang all around. Now it looks just like the Fusion, Focus, Taurus etc... they all have the same openings, light designs and placement.

Good luck with that with the C7Z supposedly debuting next year.

American muscle is saying 430, but they also said the current 5.0 has 422. Not much credibility there

Looks like Ford didn't forget about the drag racers:

You are not the only one!
But I do like 75% of the car.

That is another car that is potentially on my radar.

Solid Rear Axle, (a 9"!) a factory option for the 2015's?

Can't wait to see the performance numbers but it does make me wonder how much of an improvement the 1/4 mile and o-60 times will be over the 2011 - 14.

Certainly it will stomp it around the track, but the drag strip???

I'm still waiting for some WOW factor with the new Mustang. Love it or hate it the C7 brought plenty wow factor with its looks. The engineering changes vs price point change was certainly a wow factor.

I am new to SRA. I've had a Supra and Corvette and both were IRS. Reading that article is kind of confusing. How is an SRA easier to maintain? From all of the IRS cars I've had, there was no maintainance at all. And lowering those cars was actually easier to do. With this car just to lower, you have to take into account all these other variables.

SRA with the 9'' is almost indestructable.

Under "high stress" environments, SRA are less likely to break/fail than IRS.
I've a bud with a stout viper, he stocks the half shafts like we do oil filters.

I wouldn't say "stomp" it but, it should have a certain advantage. I've seen a lot of positive reviews about the Boss 302s cornering ability. Most drivers can't believe it has an SRA with how well the car corners. With that being said and if IRS is weaker than a SRA, I have no idea what the point is with adding IRS to the Mustang is.

Accessibilty. With the boss you had to be on your game to get it out of the car. The IRS allows a broader range of capability with the car. Also, ride quality.

Anybody have anymore good pictures? Preferably comp orange but i want to see all some more.

Mustang on cover of Road and Track and Car and Driver.

The Road and Track article said they were informed by Ford that the base mustang would beat the boss around the track. Just think what the 5.0 is going to do if that weren't to good to be true. They commented on the looks being too middle of the ground Euro/American and the performance numbers would be key towards sales.

The turbo 4cyl or the V6?

v6

"its also worth mentioning that chief engineer Dave Pericak said during our viewing that he wanted the base mustang to beat the Boss around the track. 3.7 V-6 remains the base engine"

Guess I hyped it up a bit in my first post, would vs want. Be one hell of a feat if they did and have them Alpha platform ready for sure if they did.

I can see the performance pack beating the boss, but not a bare bones V6 base.

[KurvStr8nr]

During the recent 2015 Mustang interview on Jay Leno's garage with the Mustang Chief Engineer, he said that the V6 was 300HP (I think that's the same from 2014). I doubt your going to see suspension improvements make up 240HP delta to the '12/'13 Boss 302's.

The Boss was 540 hp? Or your math just sucks?

His math just sucks

:winner_third_h4h:

either math sucks or fat fingers...either way 240 is wrong - LOL
