Engine
The sixth-generation Ford Mustang comes in three varieties for engine type. There’s the powerful 5.0L V8 engine, a 3.7L V6 and the EcoBoost engine that comes in at 2.3L. With the addition of the new EcoBoost engine, it boasts an output of at least 305 horsepower, with 300 pound-feet of torque. Ford has made structural improvements to the EcoBoost engine to increase durability by adding a “forged-steel crankshaft, and connecting rods, piston-cooling jets, steel piston ring carriers, premium bearing materials, upgraded valve seat materials, high-pressure die-cast aluminum cylinder block with ladder-frame bearing caps, and a deep-sump, die-cast aluminum oil pan. “

Bodywork
“Aluminum fenders replace steel, but a steel-intensive underbody otherwise carries over. With additional features and newer technology, the Mustang could put on about 100 pounds”. This generation of Mustang has been influenced on the front end by Ford’s Evo concept [7] which was featured in the Frankfurt auto show in 2011. The rear famous “vertical bar” style taillight will continue, however will be lit by LED, and will illuminate sequentially when being used for turn signals. [8] Ford is expecting to produce a lighter Mustang this year by about 200 pounds from its current weight weighing in at around 3500 pounds. [11]

Interior
The new Mustang’s interior body style resembles that of an airplane cockpit boasting an increased body width, and a larger cabin. This gives more room in the back of the vehicle for rear passengers. “The changeable ambient lighting continues, but it will spread beyond the dials, cup holders, and speakers to other points within the cabin, something also found in European luxury cars like the new S-class.” [9]

Intelligent Access with Push-Button Start
A keyless ignition comes equipped in the Mustang, such that drivers who hold keys with them are not required to reach into their pocket for their keys in order to start the car.

Available SYNC with MyFord Touch
For the first time, this advanced communication system has been added to the Ford Mustang. A center touch screen with voice-activated control allows drivers to utilize other electronic aspects of their Mustang without needing to touch it.

Available BLIS with Cross-Traffic Alert
“The Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) uses two discreetly placed rear radar sensors to help warn you of cars approaching on either side.”[4] The Cross-Traffic Alert feature alerts drivers of objects behind the vehicle as they are in reverse.

Ford Mustang’s 50th Anniversary
2014 marks Ford’s 50th anniversary for the Mustang line of vehicles. A limited-edition model of the Ford Mustang GT is made that features the GT’s 5.0L and 420+ horsepower v8 engine. “The 2015 Ford Mustang 50th Anniversary Edition looks to feature primarily an upgraded aesthetic package with traditional Mustang cues.” [5] The front grille will have the familiar dashing pony featured on the 2015 Ford Mustang 50th Anniversary Edition. The Ford Mustang 50th Anniversary Edition will make its debut at the 2014 New York International Auto Show with press days starting on April 16, 2014. [6]
