Ford Mustang (United States of America, 2015-present)

The sixth gen Ford Mustang was unveiled at the end of 2013. The look is quite similar but with the addition of a new grill shape, new headlight shape and heavily creased and vented hood. In terms of dimensions, the new generation has a lower roof, wider track and more steeply raked windshield.

At the very front, the grill shape of the sixth generation Mustang has been adapted from Ford’s other modern models, just squished. It has the same hexagonal shape as other Fords, but it is shorter and wider than on other cars. The headlights have been reshaped to wrap around the front of the body, unlike previous generations. They also incorporate their LED headlights at the inside corners of the headlights, instead of the outside corners like the current cars. Finally, the hood has a completely different shape that is heavily creased and vented. There are two large creases running towards the windshield near the center of the hood. Close to the fenders, there are two cooling vents in the hood. It looks a little busy in some of the pictures, but it might look great on the road.

In profile, the latest car is all Mustang, and there is no mistaking it for anything else. It has the same long hood and flowing roof shape that has identified the Mustang since the fastback was revealed in 1965. The only major change is a crease that runs from behind the front fenders, through the doors stopping briefly at the rear fenders and resuming again at the rear. The line exists to accentuate the rear fenders and make them look more muscular.

The rear of the Mustang gets a major rethink with an all-new shape and design. Of the entire design, it is the most retro part of the sixth generation Mustang. It looks back at the Mustangs of the late 60s with a blacked out rear panel and heavily sculpted, sequential taillights.

The model includes a 5.0-liter V8, 3.7-liter V6 and 2.3-liter turbo four-cylinder.

The V8 and V6 are carried over from the current generation but have some performance upgrades in the new car. Fifth gen versions produce 420hp and 390lb-ft of torque for the V8 and 305hp and 280lb-ft for the V6. In fact, Ford is promising upgrades to the V8 like larger valves, new camshafts, new cylinder heads and forged connecting rods that will elevate performance beyond the current version.

The 2.3-liter engine produces a projected 300hp and 305lb-ft of torque, and offers class-leading fuel economy. It uses a twin-scroll turbocharger for added power and efficiency.

Transmissions are carried over from the fifth generation with either a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic.

The suspension received a thorough upgrade with a new front subframe that is stuffer with a double-ball-joint front MacPherson suspension, which also allows for larger brakes. The rear gets a new integral-link independent rear suspension.
