“Mustang – Since 1964” do you want your ride to adorn this badge? The 'Blue Oval' company is gloating a galloping horse along with this badge on the instrumentation panel of the new Mustang. Adding to it, Ford starts production of its sixth generation of the pony car – 2015 Mustang. The new Mustang rolls out of the Ford's Flat Rock Assembly Plant and will be available globally (120 countries) by this fall. For the first time in its 50 years history Mustang will be available in 25 right-hand markets!
Overwhelmed on rolling the 6th generation of the motoring icon out of the production line, Joe Hinrichs, Ford president of The America stated, “Mustang is and will continue to be an automotive icon.” he further added, “Expanding its availability globally affords our customers around the world the opportunity to have a true firsthand Mustang experience – one unlike any other.”
Just like the new design, Mustang gets uprated motors and this 6th gen pony also gets a new 2.3 liter EcoBoost, how can it miss this one! The new 2.3 liter EcoBoost 4-cylinder motor features similar EcoBoost characteristics – direct injection and variable cam timing. The motors pumps out 310hp of max power and 434Nm of torque. The most powerful of the lot – Mustang GT gets an uprated V8 from the previous generation car, the 5.0 liter V8 motor belts out 435hp of max power and the torque maxes at 542Nm! There's also a 3.7 liter V6 that sits in-between these two.
