  • Article: Why the s550 Mustang Needs a Halo Car (in 2015 and Beyond)

    May 13, 2013 • News • 451

    Interesting read on why fast cars are big business for automakers.  While Ford sells the GT500 halo model in small numbers, cars like it carry a weight in the court of public opinion that goes far beyond their sales numbers – the so called halo effect.

  • C&D on 2015 Mustang s550 – Retro is Out, Ecoboost V8 and 4 Cylinder Are In

    May 9, 2013 • News • 480

    Car and Driver previews the 2015 Mustang s550 as one of the 25 cars worth waiting for between 2014-2017.  Consistent with most speculation up to date, they believe that the 2015 Mustang will be completely modern in design, dishing its current retro styling.  They also believe that the s550 Mustang will receive multiple turbo EcoBoost engines – a 4 cylinder and a V8 5.0L Coyote.

  • Mustang Chief Engineer Talks Current Mustang and Next Gen (2015 Mustang S550)

    May 3, 2013 • News • 420

    On April 5, 2010, Autoline Daily sat down with Chief Mustang Engineer, Dave Pericak to talk about the then current Mustang and Ford’s plans for its next generation Mustang, which we now know as the s550. This may have taken place 2 years ago, but it’s got some great hints regarding the next Mustang that we bet many here haven’t seen.

    We suggest you grab some popcorn and watch the entirety as there are many interesting tidbits. Here are some highlights:

  • 2015 Saleen Mustang s550 Rendered

    May 1, 2013 • News • 639

    We came across this beautiful artistic rendering a 2015 Saleen Mustang s550 from Matt Bernal of Bernal Auto Style, thanks to Mustangs Daily.

    In his own words, Bernal states, “I went for more of a grown up super car that also attracts a younger audience like Saleen has always done.  The Saleen brand has always tried to seperate themselves from other ‘tuner Mustangs’ and have always been their own breed. They create an almost organic shape that uses the Mustang existing lines to create a different vehicle that’s not just a Mustang with a body kit.”

  • Update: Recent 2015 Mustang s550 Prototype Spy Pics Photoshopped?

    April 30, 2013 • News • 377

    The plot thickens my friends. A few weeks ago we obtained spy photos of a supposed 2015 Mustang s550 prototype.  Today, we obtained 2 additional photos that appear to be the raw (pre-photoshopped) versions of the pictures we originally posted.  When compared to the ones showing the Mustang on the ground, it is immediately obvious that these raw images were subsequently photoshopped.

    As pointed out by some of our users, notice how the wrinkles, lines and shadows of the car cover and the wheel positioning is identical to the KPG photos despite one set of pictures showing the Mustang on a flatbed, and the other [apparently] on the ground. Especially interesting is that the second picture blurs out whatever is on top of and around the Mustang.

    The question remains, what does this mean? Did Ford work with the spy photographers to release these pictures as a red herring, to prevent bad publicity from a mechanical breakdown or crash, or does the blur reveal something they wanted to keep secret?

  • Ford First Quarter 2013 Net Income Rises 15% And Sets N.A. Record

    April 29, 2013 • News • 410

    During its first-quarter 2013 earnings call, Ford Motor Co. announced first-quarter net income rose 15 percent from a year earlier to $1.61 billion despite its troubles in recession-hit Europe.  Ford’s pretax operating loss in Europe widened sharply to $462 million from $149 million in the first quarter of 2012.

    The worsening results in Europe primarily reflected higher costs, including those related to restructuring, and higher pension expenses due to lower interest rates, Ford said. Weak industry sales and unfavorable exchange rates also contributed to the loss, the company added.

    Ford reaffirmed its forecast for a 2013 loss in Europe of about $2 billion. In 2012, the loss was $1.75 billion.

  • On 49th Anniversary, 1 millionth Ford Mustang Built At Flat Rock Assembly Plant

    April 17, 2013 • News • 444

    Ford has just announced that the one-millionth Ford Mustang has rolled out of its Flat Rock Assembly Plant.  This milestone has occurred on the same day that the Mustang is celebrating its 49th anniversary.  Flat Rock started building Mustangs with the introduction of the retro-fantastic 2005 model, and to commemorate today’s milestone, Ford put together a list of what it believes are the top ten S197 Mustangs to roll out of Flat Rock. Scroll through it below, and you’ll find that it’s hard to argue with those picks.

  • New Spy Pics: 2015 Mustang s550 Prototype Now With Covered Production Body?

    April 12, 2013 • News • 474

    First prototype with full production-intent body (albeit covered)!

    It looks like the Mustang’s production-spec body panels are beginning to be fitted on mules, and more complete prototypes are now being assembled. Full-fledged s550 Mustang prototypes are probably not far away.

    So what can be learned from these photos? The car cover hides nearly all of the details, and this prototype appears to be missing its bumpers, but we can get a look at the Mustang’s profile. The prototype looks undisguised under all that canvas, giving us a look at a prominent sideskirt. But, the lack of bumpers precludes us from getting a good idea of the car’s overall stance or its overhangs.

    The car cover–which is specially designed for driving the prototype while covered–has what appears to be mesh panels to allow the headlights and tail-lights to show through, at least a little bit. The spaces for the tail-lights look to be mounted very high on the trunk. We can also see what appears to be some sort of fender vent just behind the front wheel.

    So, what do you see??
