2015 Mustang Tested in Ford’s Lighting Lab

Merry Christmas M6G’ers!

For our own version of holiday lights, we have photos of the 2015 Mustang being tested in Ford’s lighting lab, officially, the Visual Performance Evaluation Lab.  Ford has previously shown videos of the lab while testing other Ford vehicles for glare, reflections and visibility in simulated outdoor lighting conditions.

For the 2015 Mustang, the lab was used to ensure that the new aluminum dashboard panel would not give off glare and the new instrument gauges could be seen in all lighting conditions.

“With the Lighting Lab, we can ensure that the first time a buyer sits in the 2015 Ford Mustang, that person will be able to see the interior as the designers originally envisioned it – in the best light possible,” says Mahendra Dassanayake, Ford lighting technical specialist, in a statement. “Whether the car is parked outside or is sitting on an auto show floor, whether it is a bright, sunny day, or overcast and snowing, the materials and controls in the Mustang will be both visually satisfying and highly functional.”
