Official: 2018 Ford Mustang Refresh Detailed! (Options/Features, Specs, Photos, Info)

[OX1]

Sorry to say this fella's but the 2018 looks better than the 2015 did at the same time in its reveal. Man does the '18 look good!

Like I said, it is hard to compare a 1965 to a 1968 and that's basically what happened here. The "Classic" look is fading away, the S197 is finally departing the design and they delivered on the engine.

No it doesn't. Anything that makes it look like a new Lexus, is just butt ugly. Looks would be the last reason I got an 18.

Had to wipe puke off my screen to see if this pic posted.

This triangular crap was a big fail 10 years ago.

Sadly, the era of even decent looking front ends is over I guess

Unusual additional DRL shown there for the first time (incorporated into/under the turn signal)

Don't think it's a DRL feature, it's more like a parking light for the export market to me

Could be! We don't get "parking lights" in the UK.....but we do get "side lights".....which aren't on the side at all, they're usually just a separate, lower output light than the main headlamp

I meant it could be a new version as replacement of the 2 squares we have on the EU/UK models :

Known as parking light or side light

Hey @thePill since you have inside information what's the HP and torque gonna be on the new 5.0?

I don't think it went through certification yet.

We already stated a year or two ago, the increase will be the typical 25-35hp.

Actually no, the 2015-'17's front end was bulbous like the 2013-'14 was. I am glad the S197 is leaving the design finally, the lower fog light area acted as an air dam, totally useless in design unless built like the GT350.

Sorry to say, the '18 puts the '15 in the closet. I remember when the '15 first was shown in magazines, it was 50/50. No really, go back and look... this car fixed what didn't happen in the front and sales will likely continue on.

The '18 is hands down a better looker than the '15-'17, as far as a sports car goes. The '18's are so hard to stop looking at in person.

I believe Ford will put lots of lipstick on the 2018 to hide the design
flaws

From certain angles, the whole front end is a design flaw. :shrug:

Yep the masses already know it looks much less aggressive.

Whatever these wheels are (no 5?). This is how I want my Mustang to look...

I love the red too but I fear Red is an unlucky color. The profile and 3/4 of the Mustang has been vastly improved, if that was possible. More aggressive front and a low hood like the GT350.

Give us 469hp!!!

Actually, "the masses" don't necessarily feel that way, so please speak for yourself. Lots of people responding to the poll like it.

To me, this looks more aggressive than the '15-'17 (and it's an Ecoboost):

PP wheels, look at the rotor and the caliper.

 

[c-rizzle]

PP wheels, look at the rotor and the caliper.

They're forged and staggered. They should be the "top of the line" OEM wheel for the Mustang. The 20's are heavy and "only 265 square set up.

Though the other new black PP wheels are also interesting and probably very lightweight too.

 

[Dary]

I kind of like those DRL (or whatever they intended to be)
