Ford begins new chapter with 2015 Mustang

An all-new sophisticated design clearly inspired by 50 years of Mustang heritage evolved to attract wider array of customers and expand global market availability for the sixth-generation of the iconic pony car. The 2015 Ford Mustang sets new performance and dynamics benchmarks for the brand with world-class handling, more precise steering control and enhanced ride comfort.

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. 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; and a 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 2015 Mustang coupe is available in: V6, V6 EcoBoost, EcoBoost Premium, GT, and GT Premium trim levels. The Mustang convertible is offered in V6, EcoBoost Premium and GT Premium trim levels.

Power for the all-new rear-drive Mustang is generated by a brace of three engines that include: an all-new fuel-efficient 2.3L EcoBoost four-cylinder engine, an upgraded 3.7L V6 and a more powerful 5.0L V8. Drivers will appreciate smoother shifts from the updated six-speed manual gearbox with Hill Start Assist. An available six-speed automatic transmission has been reworked for 2015 and features new steering wheel-mounted shift paddles for drivers who want the choice between convenience and control.

Control hardware for the 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.

Inside the passenger cabin, 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 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.
