Ford has unveiled a new generation of Mustang models. The new generation Mustang is the sixth generation of the car series, and the new car has many changes and upgrades compared to the old model in terms of shape design, suspension structure, and power equipment. In addition, 2 Mustang models will celebrate their 50th birthday, and the release of the new generation of Mustang at this time is also a tribute to its half-century of glory.

New car background.

In the 1960s, after World War II, the U.S. economy recovered rapidly after more than a decade of recovery. More young people began to pursue new and exciting and innovative. Ford was keenly aware of people's needs, so it began to develop a new model, a sports car with personality. In 1962, the prototype of the Mustang was launched.

However, the prototype did not pass Ford's senior management's scrutiny because of its two-seat design. Ford introduced the two-seat Thunderbird in 1955, but the Thunderbird did not sell well due to the low practicality of the two-seat design. In 1964, Ford officially released the Mustang and once released, the Mustang's tense lines and powerful design immediately attracted the attention of many people.

After nearly 50 years of development and five generations of models, the Mustang has become a classic. The Mustang has also become synonymous with American sports cars, along with the Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger. In its nearly 50 years of existence, the Mustang has accumulated more than 9 million units sold. And on December 5, 2013, the sixth generation of the Mustang was born, and this classic model will receive a new interpretation.

New vehicle features.

Externally, the new generation Mustang adopts the design elements of the Ford Evos concept, incorporating many of Ford's family-style design elements. The new car has a hexagonal mouth design with the Mustang logo in the middle of the grille and an inverted trapezoidal grille design at the bottom. The new headlights are slender and reveal a slyness. The side of the new car still looks dynamic and full of a strong fighting atmosphere. In addition to the hardtop version, the future generation of Mustang will also launch a convertible version and other derivative models.

The new tail lights are still the iconic vertical bar design, but the application of independent LED light bars looks more technological. The rear of the new car is extremely layered, plus the bottom and the body of the same color deflector, so the new generation of Mustang's rear looks more sporty.

Inside, the interior of the new generation Mustang has been completely redesigned, with a large screen in the center of the new center console, and the arrangement of the buttons below has also been adjusted. In addition, the new Mustang adopts a new three-spoke multifunctional sports steering wheel.

In terms of features, the new generation Mustang comes standard with keyless smart entry, a one-touch smart start system, as well as SYNC in-car multimedia communication and entertainment system supporting MyFord Touch and MyKey security system. The new Mustang also comes with Track Apps, MyColor and Shaker Pro audio systems. In addition, there are multiple driving modes to choose from.

The new generation Mustang is built on a new platform with more lightweight materials and technologies in its body, which will make the new generation lighter than the current model. The new generation Mustang will also be equipped with an integral-link multi-link independent rear suspension, which is significantly different from the current model's integral-axle non-independent suspension. The aluminum rear steering knuckle further reduces the vehicle's spring mass.

In terms of power, the new generation Mustang is equipped with 2.3 T and 5.0 L V8 engines, of which the 2.3 T engine has a maximum output of 309 hp and peak torque of 407 Nm; the 5.0 L V8 engine has a maximum output of 426 hp and peak torque of 529 Nm. In terms of transmission, the new Mustang will be equipped with a 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission.

Ford Mustang will celebrate its 50th birthday. To commemorate this historic occasion, each new 2015 Ford Mustang will feature a special "Prancing Mustang" logo on the dashboard with the words "Mustang - Since 1964 ". The new Ford Mustang will still be produced in the United States at the Flat Rock plant.

Audience.

As an American muscle car, the Mustang carries on the spirit of American sports cars. This car is suitable for those who like the style and culture of American muscle cars, the pursuit of speed, and the pursuit of individuality to choose, they need a car like this to satisfy their surging heart, need a car like this to attract the attention of passers-by on the street A B C D.

Future outlook.

From the above changes, the new generation Mustang continues its sporty style while giving itself new characteristics through changes in suspension and power. The fifth-generation Mustang will be the last generation of Mustang with integral axle rear suspension, a suspension model that can get excellent results in straight-line acceleration races for it, but this design that only considers the market demand in the U.S. will also change with the advancement of Ford's globalization. Ford has also made several changes to make such a car more acceptable to consumers in more markets. So is this a good thing or a bad thing? We'll wait until after the real test drive to judge.

In addition, in addition to the Asian/Chinese premiere of the new generation Mustang in Shanghai, the event will also be held in five key cities including Dearborn, Michigan, New York, Los Angeles, Barcelona, and Sydney, where Ford is headquartered in the United States.
