The new 2015 Mustang is described here. The text reads, Mustang began its second half-century as another new-from-the-ground-up car. In all aspects, the first of the sixth generation is true to its roots: it looks like a Mustang, especially those of its golden years in the late-1960s. It has the iconic long hood, short rear deck, and low, wide stance. It is rear-wheel drive. From there, though, the "new" aspects kick into high gear. It may evoke the golden era, but its design is very much 21st century, and under its skin, the new Mustang benefits from state-of-the-art engineering and technology. This is the first mainstream Mustang with independent rear suspension, engineered specifically for this new platform and the car that's built on it. The all new front suspension is a perimeter subframe and double ball joint architecture. Three engines are available, two of them familiar. There's the 3.7-liter Ti-VCT V6 and the GT's 5.0-liter Ti-VCT V8, both with new tweaks and upgrades. Then there's an entirely new engine - a 2.3-liter EcoBoost inline 4 with a twin-scroll turbocharger. This is Mustang's first 4-cylinder engine since the Mustang SVO's 2.3-liter turbo 4 of 1984-86. That engine produced 175hp and 210 lb.-ft. of torque. But 30 years on, advancements in engineering and technology, like direction injection and twin independent variable cam timing, mean that this new 2.3-liter EcoBoost produces power that surpasses Mustang's V8 engines of the early 1980s. All told, everything about this next-generation Mustang is at once new, but without breaking from tradition. So Mustang can gallop into the future following the legacy of its predecessors, but leading the pack.
