Expectations for the top rage 2015 Mustang does not reach current 662 horses (GT500), but it at least should maintain 5.0 liter V8. V6 is possible and turbocharged 2.3 liter 4-cyl is there for sure.
The 6th generation styling will definitey keep the Mustang’ish cues and something from Evos concept. Motor Authority have some spy shots that tell nothing actually, but… it seems like 2015 model is gonna feature sportier look and lower positioned tail lights.
