2015 mustang, here it is

[Baron Von Crowder]

There is just something wrong with the front end to me. But then again, when the 10 came out I hated the rear end. Now I own one.
I do think the price of a GT is going to be ridiculous, and the turbo 4 will be nearly as bad.

I hope that the GT is a higher dollar option than the t4. Actually, I hope that they offer the turbo 4 in a base and a GT option.

Bigger valves, Boss valve springs, Boss connecting rods, and oil cooler for all 5.0L engines.


Most of the reports are stating an estimated 3,450lbs.

c7 is 3400 right? That would be impressive for a 30k mustang to match something like the C7 which is damn near all aluminum at this point.

Add me to the group of starting to like it now. I still think it's too busy in the cab even though that's what they were going for.

Coyote 5.0

Utilizing lessons learned in the development of the recent BOSS 302 platform, Ford engineers have improved the Coyote 5.0. They’ve not released the official power numbers yet, except to say expect overt 420 hp and over 390 ft-lbs of torque.

The top end of the Coyote is all new starting with a brand new cylinder head casting that features revised ports for straighter paths to the valves, and less flow restriction. The heads also feature larger intake, and exhaust valves, and revised intake and exhaust camshafts will also contribute to the Coyote making more power, and breathing better all the way to redline. Stiffer valve springs will help the Coyote howl at higher RPMs as well.

The variable cam system has been updated as well. New mid-lock phasers enable better control of the camshaft timing through a greater range of engine RPM. This should improve fuel economy, emissions, and hopefully power as well.

A new, intake manifold is also in use for better low end response and improved emissions compliance. The intake includes charge motion control valves that close off at lower RPMs and improve intake turbulence.

2015 Coyote Key Features:

Larger intake valves
Larger exhaust valves
Revised intake camshafts
Revised exhaust camshafts
Stiffer valve springs – ensures that the valves close completely at high rpm
New cylinder-head casting – revised ports that provide a straighter path to the valves for less-restrictive intake and exhaust flow; combustion chamber modifications accommodate larger valves
Sinter forged connecting rods – lighter and more durable for high-rpm operation
Redesigned piston tops – deeper cutouts clear the new larger valves
Rebalanced forged crankshaft – supports higher-rpm operation

2.3 EcoBoost

A variant of the engine that debuted in the upcoming Lincoln MKC. This engine is an evolution of the 2.0 EcoBoost found in the Focus ST and other vehicles. We expect great things from this little engine as it allows for a lighter car, and hopefully some great performance numbers. “This EcoBoost engine delivers where a Mustang driver expects it to, with a broad, flat torque curve that pours out when you stand on it for easy passing or hustling down a twisty road,” said Pericak.

Ford has said to expect at least 305 hp and 300 ft-lbs of torque from the little four-cylinder engine.

Other features of the 2.3 include:

Forged-steel crankshaft
Piston-cooling jets
Steel piston ring carriers
Premium bearing materials
Upgraded valve seat materials
Forged-steel connecting rods
High-pressure die-cast aluminum cylinder block with ladder-frame bearing caps
Deep-sump, die-cast aluminum oil pan

3.7 V6

The 3.7 will still be available, Ford hasn’t released many details yet except to say expect at least 300 hp and 270 ft-lbs of torque from the fleet favorite engine.

Transmissions

Ford is promising the best driving experience yet in manual transmission equipped Mustangs. The Getrag MT-82 six-speed manual is being carried over from the 2011-2014 models. Ford has revised the shift linkage for shorter throws and a crisper feel. They’ve also moved the shifter closer to the drive for easier access, locating it away from the cupholders.


In the automatic department a six-speed auto is once again available. The auto has been significantly revised. A new case with reinforcing ribs for added strength and reduced weight is part of the package. The clutches have been revised, and the transmission operates at higher temperatures for improved friction characteristics. The output shaft has a new ball bearing support, allowing for 155 mph top speed according to Ford.

What enthusiasts who choose the automatic will really like though is the steering wheel mounted paddle shfiters that will be standard on all automatic equipped Mustangs. We talked about this a while back in a spy photo story that we ran. In addition to being a bonus for auto owners, those looking to tackle twisty back roads, or even the autocross with the auto equipped Mustang will benefit from the rev-matching downshift feature.

Sweet!! They addressed the shifter location in relation to the cupholders. For some reason that has bugged the shit out of me.

[dangerous_sep]

Fuck I want the turbo-4 now!

[Shaggin Wagon]

I heard it was 3mm longer and 200lbs lighter.

[momo]

all these new pictures look good. that shit magazine got the worst pictures imaginable.

Probably because it's pretty much impossible to use the cup holders with a manual. Even on road trips where you're just on the freeway, you lose the use of the console as an armrest on the current gen. I don't have a lot of complaints about my '13, but that is definitely an annoyance.

[mstng86]

The new pictures are way better than those magazine pics.

I still am not that into it. I think i need to see it up close

Yeah, that has always gotten to me. Hell, just having the cup holder lid open with my cell phone in there is enough to make me squirm. It just feels awkward.

LOL, you're strange. Or is the word i'm looking for anal?

You know what bothered me at first?? How high or low I wanted my damn seat. Bothered the shit out of me and I was constantly raising and lowering it

[jakesford]

Get rid of the cupholders... I want to go back to cramming my drink between the e-brake handle!

Now that you mention it, I'm always doing the same damn thing.
