Mustang History: 2015

The original ponycar is all-new just in time for its 50th anniversary. Now destined for global markets, the 2015 Ford Mustang sports new styling that harks back to its heyday while still looking to the future. The Mustang’s new interior is more upscale, with soft-touch materials and sporty design traits.

A fast array of engines sits under the hood of the 2015 Ford Mustang. The base engine is a carryover 3.7-liter V-6 producing 305 hp and 280 lb-ft of torque. Next up the ladder is an EcoBoost 2.3-liter turbocharged I-4 producing 310 hp and 320 lb-ft of torque. The GT is powered by a 5.0-liter V-8 making 435 hp and 400 lb-ft of torque. A six-speed manual is standard, while a beefed-up six-speed auto is optional.

Not only does the 2015 Mustang get powertrain updates, but it’s also all-new under the skin. The biggest change is the addition of an independent rear suspension, which finally sets the solid-rear axle out to pasture.
