Rejoice! It’s the all-new ‘Stang with right-hand drive and a big V8

So all these rumors and rendering were finally brought to rest today with the launch of the new pony from the stable of Ford.

2015 Ford Mustang Front Quarters

So what is new in this 10th gen model that created such a fuss?

The model is expected to be launched on what will be its 50th birthday. Ford has sold more than nine million of them to date, so expect this new one to see the Mustang over the 10m mark some time around 2016.

Has it still got the stang left in it?

The model design is more evolutionary with the tweaking of the old orthodox styling into more feminine slender one, more European design language influenced. The result is some may like some may hate it but it still has the persona of prancing mustang left in it with long bonnet and the rearward fastback feel. 
The MkX, built on the latest Ford S550 platform, is a completely fresh rethink of the classic. There's less than two per cent carry over in componentry from the current model.

The signature body designs are still evident are the shark bite grille, bluff front end, power dome on the bonnet, triple rear taillights, etc. The overall design of the car highlights its length and lack of rake plus the fact that it is 38mm lower and 40mm wider. The window area is narrower, the A-pillar slightly (30mm) more rearward.

Is the chassis still stoneage?

For the first time the mustang is going to jewel itself with an independent rear suspension making it the most agile and nimble pony ever. The rear setup is joined by an all-new front perimeter subframe, and double-ball-joint MacPherson struts.

So will all mustangs be growling with mammoth V8s ?

Well the answer is sadly no, the car is going to be on sale with three engine options. The V6 version will beefier and throaty 300 bhp and 365 Nm of torque than the current one and just for US the V8 version will a 5 litre one churning out 420 bhp of pure muscle power. The stang will also be boasted with  2.3-litre version of the twin-scroll turbo EcoBoost motor pumping a little over 305 bhp of power.

A four cylinder Mustang seriously?

The new Mustang is made to pull in European as well as Asian customers and this four cylinder Ecoboost engine is just apt for Ford to broaden its reach on more potential buyers and this mustang is engineered to start from either right or left side steering.

Inside, Ford has bedazzled the muscle car with their SYNC multimedia system, MyKey keyless start and Blind Spot warning system.

So the new stang is bound to get many sighs and boos the same time, the verdict will reach following its launch in 2015 or 2016.
