Spotted 2015 Mustang And There Is Something Different About It

We can hear you say – whats so different about it – it looks like a 2013 Mustang GT – Well yes it does until you get a closer look.  Here are some shots from the internet as reported by varous websites. These shots show a possible 2015 Ford Mustang GT disguised as a 2013 GT – experts say the 2013 Mustang body work has large gaps and that could mean it is just a skin to cover what is probably the new 2015 chassis. What makes it so special? Well take a look at what’s not there: a live rear-axle, – Its gone and replaced with IRS similar to the 99-04 Mustang SVT Cobra set up.
Here is photographic evidence that the 2015 Mustang will finally ditch the old live rear axle setup in favor of an independent rear suspension. As previously reported on the internet, it was expected for the next-generation Mustang to use a version of the Control Blade trailing-arm setup used down in Australia by the Ford Falcon. Thanks, to this picture, we can pretty much confirm that will be the case when the 2015 Mustang is revealed in 2014, most likely at the car’s 50th anniversary at the New York auto show.
Expect the 5.0-liter Coyote V-8 to carry over from the recently refreshed 2013 Mustang, but not much else. There have been rumors that the Mustang will use a range of turbocharged EcoBoost engines, including even a turbo-four for an SVO model. The 3.7-liter V-6 may or may not reappear; the crystal ball is still hazy on that matter. What it is clear on is that the 2015 Mustang will use Ford’s new Kinetic 2.0 styling language, as seen on the Evos concept car and the 2013 Fusion. According to Ford’s VP of global product design, Hau Thai-Tang, the next Mustang won’t eschew its heritage-based look but will also have a clear familial link.

    Every time Ford has a winner combo in the Mustang they get back at it and SCREWS them up for all of us Mustangs fanatics… They did it in the seventies with the bigger second generation of the car…They did it again with the Mustang II when they did not offer us a true performance model…Not happy with that in the eighties up to the nineties and the two thousands even V6 Camaros had more power than Mustangs…Now that Mustangs are putting out nice horsepower on the V6 and V8 they want to screw them up again?When are they going to start building a new lightweight Mustang in the likes of the first generation?

    Every work I’ve heard says it will be smaller and hundreds of pounds lighter; for an international market. It’ll be way faster with the 5.0, but then offer good mileage with the eco-boost line of engines.

    2015? those pics are of a 2013, which looks like some nutsack cut up the rear facia to put on some of the most putrid-looking mufflers I have ever seen, cause they didn’t fit right. IRS? Not! look at pictures #6 and #7, the rear shots from under the car. Pic 6 is of a Mustang with live axle (current setup) and pic 7 shows the independent rear suspension, but obviousll from a DIFFERENT car, you can even see the tires don’t match from one pic to the next. Total and utter BS, that car is nothing but a ’13.

      The rear-end housings are also different colors in those underbody views. Why would someone post this?

        They are showing you the difference between the 2013 mustangs live axel setup and that of the irs spotted on the manufacturer plated car… showing that it is not the same as the 2013 which the body makes you think it is… a little common sense goes a long way
