The Ford Mustang is one of the most trusted and popular names in the American automotive industry and over the years the vehicle underwent numerous cosmetic and functional overhauls. The Mustang is a muscle car and the first thought that pops up in our mind when we hear muscle is performance.
The makers cram the biggest engine that they can find in a body and cut off all the excess weight (including safety during the glory days of the muscle) along the way! Over time, the definition of the muscle changed, and car makers were forced to tame their beasts, thanks to the numerous safety and emission norms that were introduced around the world.
The 2015 Ford Mustang has been entirely redesigned for this model year and features a range of EcoBoost engine blocks, including 2.3-liter turbocharged V6 and V8 options and new independent rear suspension. Hence, the thin line distinguishing between a Mustang and a BMW just got thinner!
Ford is pretty confident about the new-gen technologies that are in place and have tested the upcoming Mustang on the snaky roads of Los Angeles, where the vehicle was revealed. While the old and bumpy suspension of the previous generation vehicle forced the Mustang towards the guardrail every time, the new and refined beast handled like a dream!
The 5.0-liter 32-valve V8 engine block powering the 2015 Ford Mustang is an absolute mammoth and stays butter-smooth even during the higher rev range. This engine block displaces 435 BHP at 6,500 RPM, and the redesigned rear suspension has no trouble handling all that power. As a result, the massive power that is displaced, effectively reaches the axle, powering the car effortlessly.
The EcoBoost tag is a damper, although, people need to try out the vehicle for themselves, before commenting on the integrity of this engine block! The 2015 Ford Mustang GT is one of the smoothest and quietest vehicles around thanks to the latest noise cancelation measures that are in place. Even though the stereo outputs leak some of the smooth engine noises to the cabin, things are well under control.
If you want to save the planet while driving the Mustang, Ford has just the thing for you. The V6 engine block, displacing 300 BHP along with 280 ft-lb. The engineers at Ford have redesigned the engine block, extracting the maximum possible power, which was previously deemed impossible from a V6. The tides are changing soon, although, a faction of the petrol heads would rather drive a Boss than a BMW!
