Tag: 2015 Ford Mustang Convertible

2015 Ford Mustang is already a fact. It has been unveiled months ago and all we are waiting for is seeing it on the streets rolling powerfully. Now, Ford is announcing, that for the first time ever, a right-hand-drive Ford Mustang will roll off a Ford assembly line when the production starts. This is great news because the addition of a right-hand-drive Mustang to Ford’s line-up will allow the famous pony car to be exported to more than 25 right-hand-drive countries. Some to mention are United Kingdom, Australia and South Africa.

The construction of the very first right-hand-drive sixth-generation Mustang has been recently finished. The prototype will be utilized for various development tests which will serve as preparation for car’s entry into the global market in the coming months.

Of course, the United States have been for the latest 50 years the largest market for Mustang on the world. In fact, there have been more than 9.2 million sales since the car’s debut in 1964. For this period of time, more than 161,000 Mustangs have been sold outside of North America.

2015 Ford Mustang will be powered by one of these three engines: the upgraded 435 horsepower V8, the standard 300 horsepower V6 and the new 310 horsepower EcoBoost. Every powertrain can be coupled with either a manual or automatic transmission.

The 2.3-liter EcoBoost also produces 434 Nm (320 lb-ft) of torque. EcoBoost benefits from direct fuel injection, twin independent variable camshaft timing and turbocharging thus producing big-engine power and torque with improved fuel economy. The must powerful unit is the 5.0-liter V8 engine. It has undergone many upgrades which help it work better in higher speeds. It has an output of 435 horsepower (320 kW) and 542 Nm (400 lb.-ft.) of torque.

The sixth-generation Mustang will go on sale in the United States this autumn and in the UK in 2015. It will be made available in more than 110 countries worldwide.

2015 Ford Mustang Convertible is here and as its fastback sibling it is redesigned from the wheels up in order to offer more driving enjoyment. As a true Mustang it has unique design characteristics which make it instantly recognizable.

As a matter of fact, it has an entirely redesigned top system, and as the technicians and creatives at Ford say, it is the best convertible they have ever built. Both the fastback and the top-lees 2015 Mustangs include an array of important changes, while at the same time deliver enhanced standards of performance, luxury and refinement.

An innovation for the MY2015 is that every convertible roof is getting a full fabric outer layer, as well as full inner headliner to incorporate the five-bow structure. In between these layers is positioned the full 10-millimeter thick insulation pad which contributes for the quietness of the muscle car inside.

Furthermore, the new Ford Mustang features electromechanical drive system, which raises or lowers the roof in half the time required previously. This is achieved via press of a button on the center console. The significant use of high-strength and ultra-high-strength steels throughout the body structure delivers more stiffness, which is enhanced by 13 percent, and fully utilizes the independent suspension. As a result, the cabrio has more refined ride quality and enhanced handling.

Usable cargo space is also offered in the 2015 version of the Mustang. This is due to the more compact roof and flat load floor, making enough space for two large golf bags. In addition, the wider rear and the new top design contribute towards more shoulder and hip room for rear-seat occupants.

2015 Mustang fastback and convertible are equipped with the line-up of Ford engines, including the new turbocharged EcoBoost 2.3-liter power plant. There is also available the updated 420 hp (309 kW) 5.0-liter V8 unit, which can be coupled with a manual or automatic six-speed transmission. The models are also equipped with state-of-the-art connectivity systems, available advanced driver-assist systems, track applications and launch control.
