Totally Redesigned Mustang -- 2015 Ford Mustang

Ford enthusiast and Mustang lovers have quite a lot to anticipate in the next few years. Not only will the Blue Oval have a good time for the 50th birthday of the iconic Mustang, but will also launch a brand-new and totally redesigned Mustang to mark the event. But instead of exhibiting a zen-like patience for 2015 to rear its head, the plucky people over at Inside Line have supplied our pony car-loving hearts with a possible glance into the very future of the 2015 Ford Mustang.

Increasing the overall excitement and speculation surrounding its ultimately unveiling, the next styling overhaul to the Ford Mustang seems like it could rip a huge page out of the Evos Concept and 2013 Ford Fusion styling book. In fact, the next version of Mustang will weigh less, use a more responsive straight-axle rear end, and supply a curvier body than the current Mustang setup.

It’s no secret Ford has been preparing to pencil in some major modifications for the iconic Mustang for some time now, but while the latest design language harkens back to the ‘Stangs of old, the next evolution of the American sports staple will see it look to the future instead of the past for inspiration. In fact, as we pointed out, Inside Line’s rendered 2015 Mustang looks like the illegitimate love child of a 2013 Fusion and Ford Evos Concept.

Typically, American muscle cars haven’t carried over well to overseas markets, but the next Mustang is gearing up to modify that. Again, Ford has been rather approaching with its plans to export the car to foreign markets outside of its typical U.S. grazing grounds, so in line with that plan the American automaker needed to come up with a design that would honor the Mustang’s heritage, while enabling it to break out into new territory. It’s a tricky endeavor and one that will no doubt require Ford to tread very carefully unless it wishes to alienate a good chunk of the Mustang faithful.

Apart from apparent styling changes, another area we can expect to receive some improvements — albeit less drastic changes – is under the hood. It’s being thrown around that the engine platforms found inside current Mustangs will likely carry over into a 2015 Model; with talk of an eventual switch to a turbocharged four-cylinder for improved mileage. It’s thought that the current 5.0 V8 will remain in place to help keep the Mustangs performance levels up to snuff for track lovers.

While we love our speculative renderings just as much as the next guy, the sad fact is, we’re nowhere near an official release. Regrettably, we’re going to have to wait until the 2014 New York Auto Show to get an official appearance at what exactly Ford has in store.
Engines are revving early as the automotive community is already rife with speculation over the 2015 Ford Mustang. If you want to buy aftermarket car parts, make sure to visit carpart4u.com.
