New 2015 Ford Mustang Sketches Surface

The 2015 Ford Mustang is undoubtedly the most advanced pony car the Blue Oval automaker has built so far. The classic live rear axle has been replaced by an integral-link independent suspension and new stability control and launch control systems have been added as standard.

Design-wise, the new Mustang falls into “love it or hate it” territory, with some enthusiasts claiming Ford diluted the musclecar, while others are more than anxious with the vehicle’s new shape. More importantly, it seems the redesign Mustang is very appealing to new customers that never had access to the iconic American pony.

That’s what Ford was hoping for all along, but Detroit doesn’t want to mess with its existing fan base, so it put a lot of effort in demonstrating that the 2015 Mustang is a worthy successor of the initial model as far as styling goes.

Using a few sketches they’ve released last December, the Blue Oval stressed that the next-gen vehicle sports a “’64-’65 look” and wears a 1968-inspired front. The Coke bottle shape, the forward-leaning “shark-bite” nose, the dual roof bubbles and the iconic gills - now serving as LED lights - are still on the Mustang, although with a modern touch.

Sure, many arguments against the current design can be formulated at any time, starting with the adoption of the “Fusion” front grille, but we’re not here to pick up on that. We’ll just introduce you to a batch of new sketches and let each of you decide whether the 2015 model breaths 1960s or not.
