Love or it loathe it, agree or disagree with it, the upcoming new generation of the Ford Mustang will be if not the, one of the most talked about models over the next few months, so even though it won’t officially be unveiled until December, we’ll be seeing and hearing a lot about it…
On Sunday, we learned about Car&Driver magazine’s December 2013 issue the front page of which is titled “We leak the 2015 Ford Mustang” and “Exclusive! The images and info Ford doesn’t want you to see”, along what a photo of the pony car.
The publication also hosts an online article titled “Leaked! This is (Almost Definitely) the 2015 Ford Mustang: Exclusive 360º View and Full Details!” with…illustration credits. And no, the pictures seen online and on the front page are not “official” photos of the real car, but digital renders, which are said to be close to the real thing.
In the article, it is mentioned that the ‘Stang will launch with the current model’s 3.7-liter V6 and 5.0-liter V8 producing the same 305hp and 420hp outputs and linked to either 6-speed manual or automatic transmissions.
Newer powertrains, including a 2.3-liter inline four turbo, possibly the 3.5-liter EcoBoost turbo, a twin-turbocharged V8 code-named “Voodoo,” and an unspecified V8 for the Boss 302 are said to be added down the line. Over the weekend we shared a survey made for Ford about the 2015 Mustang, in which the turbo four was mentioned.
