First 2015 Ford Mustang (s550) Full Prototype on Video! [Updated with V8 Sounds]

[stable68]

They are big brakes, but listen to the s550, high pitched like the v6 and the gt that goes by after is a lot more v8 like

Please tell the spy photographer to turn night vision mode on next time he can get footage. Night vision mode uses an IR light to record at night, and IR light can typically passes through some fabrics, but not metal. It just might show the outline of the car through the camo.

Now that you mention it I do hear a little whine. 6 pot Brembos for the V6 model? :hail::clap2::eyebulge:

I really hope to see some 4 pots at the rear on the GT model...whether its an option or standard.

I hope the '15s still have the running headlights and the sequential tails

We already know that it is going to have a traditional three-bar taillight, so hopefully Ford will be wise and keep the sequential turn signals.

If not, spider lights are an easy install for not much coin.

If you look closely at the 30 second mark, you will see a third (roof mounted) brake light.

It's too bad you guys couldn't get the driver to floor it on the highway. But enjoyed seeing it in live motion with some sounds anyway.

When can we expect less camo on the car?

Some keen observations, from stangtv......



We know pictures appeared about a week ago of what appear to be the highly camouflaged prototype driving around. We’ll do one better this week. Thanks to our friends over at Mustang6g, we can bring you this video that one of their operatives recently captured of the 2015 prototype hitting the streets.



The video allows us to discern a few more details other than what previous stills have. For thing we can tell you this prototype car is a V-8, less than 20 seconds into the video you can hear that distinctive rumble as the car rolls by the camera. While a minor detail, another styling cue may be the location of the turn signals, which appear to be more inboard than on the current model, seen through the camo as the car turns at the beginning of the video.



You can begin to make out some shapes in the front end, although it’s hard to say how Evos-concept-looking that is due to those camo panels, but it’s safe to say the influences are there. We can tell you those orange reflectors are definitely fakes, as are the reds on the back. They’re likely there for safety reasons as the prototype hits public roads outside the proving grounds.



The tail light shapes can be viewed, though obscured as well through the camo in the rear, and look to be very similar to the current model, likely an evolution of that design. While the roofline is heavily obscured, it’s obvious that it’s classic Mustang, though it appears to be swept back a few more degrees and the body lines do look heavily Evos-influenced. The shape of the door glass is eerily similar to the Evos concept. Also notice the big brakes on the car with mutli-piston calipers, we’re wondering about those as well.

We have to wonder if this isn’t the IRS test mule we saw a few weeks ago? However, there’s no way to confirm that. Like you, we can’t wait for the big reveal, we’ll keep bringing you new photos and footage as we get them. Big thanks to the guys at Mustang6g for sending this one to us.

Holy crap that guy is driving slow c'mon now... put some muscle into it!

not saying u should kill the guy but would it really hurt if u "accidentally" rear ended him and take out those cables holding the camo together

 

[Vickstang]

Sounds like V6 Duratec to me.

Something Interesting there is the grabber blue car is a 2012 boss 302 prototype. I was at the Mustang Alley track event and they had that car out doing ride around laps around the test track. Below are photos of the car from the test track event and a still from the video.
