Introducing the 2015 Ford Mustang

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.

2015 Ford Mustang Front Fascia Revealed in New Spy Photos

The design of the upcoming 2015 Ford Mustang may be one of the biggest mysteries in automotive history, and Ford has done their due diligence in keeping it a secret by heavily camouflaging all of their prototypes. Several spy photographers have managed to catch various prototypes out on the street, but they have all been so disguised that all of the styling elements are completely hidden. Until now.

Spy photography outlet KGP managed to catch the front end of the design of the 2015 Mustang after shadowing a Ford engineering team for several days. Their hard work paid off, as some of the camouflage was eventually removed for cooling tests in the hot weather. The resulting photos reveal much of the styling of the front end including the upper and lower grille, the fog light housings as well as the outline of the headlights. Amazingly, the design is fairly close to many of the recent renderings from the likes of Car and Driver and Car Scoops.

You can see some of the spy photos in the gallery below, or head over to Autoblog.com to see the full set.

Road & Track says 2015 Mustang will get 2.3-liter EcoBoost in U.S.

Not long ago, Edmunds broke the news that the 2015 Ford Mustang would receive Ford's 2.3-liter EcoBoost four cylinder, but that the engine would be a Europe-only option. Road & Track now reports that information isn't correct. “Road & Track has confirmed that we will indeed get the 2.3-liter turbo four here in the U.S. market,” says Road & Track’s site director Alex Nunez.

Their information says that the 2.3-liter turbo four won't be the base engine, but rather an upgrade to the existing 3.7-liter 305 horsepower V6. If this is true, then the turbocharged 2.3-liter engine could offer up more horsepower than the current V6 while offering better fuel economy as well.
