2015 Ford Mustang rendered with Evos design cues

2015 Ford Mustang

Rumors continue to abound regarding the upcoming 2015 Ford Mustang, the latest being that the Blue Oval’s next generation pony car will rely heavily on design cues from the Evos Concept that debuted at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September of last year. It’s hard to imagine how the styling from the Evos would be implemented on the Mustang, but the folks over at Inside Line have given their best shot and released two new renderings of what they think the 2015 Mustang will look like. The design ticks off all the boxes of what’s supposed to be in store for the new Mustang – a shorter, smaller body with a more futuristic, sleeker design that retains the car’s signature items like the rear quarter windows and triple-lens taillights. According to the web site, a Ford insider told them the renderings are fairly close to the design of the production car.

Of course, a new exterior design will be only one of many changes coming to the 2015 Ford Mustang. It’s all but confirmed that a four-cylinder EcoBoost engine will have a place in the new Mustang’s lineup, although it’s yet to be determined if the 3.7L V6 will stick around. A new independent rear suspension will likely replace the current solid rear axle design, and Ford is doing its best to shed as much weight – possibly several hundred pounds. Finally, the new Mustang will be a true global car and will likely be marketed in several international markets and even be available in right-hand-drive for places like Great Britain.

    AWESOME~~~~ When can we order???

  • 05FordGT said:

    That looks VERY COOL!!! Only thing that needs to go, is the Ford emblem on the front. The Mustang has not had ANY Blue oval Emblems on the car other than wheel center caps (I know it says Ford on the 2005-2009 V6 faux fuel caps on the trunk panel). They can keep it for the export crowd, but we here know its a Ford, and I have loved that the Mustang tri-bar emblem is its own logo/identity now!!

    OK, that was it, bye bye Mustang…

    Rest in peace…

  • Robert said:

    i’m torn here. I’m okay with it if Ford does 2 things.

    1. ditch the blue oval on the hood.

    2. don’t make the mustang so small that people mistake it for a fricken fiesta or Civic hatchback.

  • Twin Turbo said:

    One of the better Photoshops to date………..but the front still looks too much like the Fusion/Evos. Needs a longer hood and lights that don’t wrap around into the fenders.

  • John Farren said:

    Love it! Now let me see the interior, and yes, please drop the blue oval on the hood. No names on the car! It is a Mustang and must remain recognizable without name plates all over it. Why do you thing Camaro and Challenger have to have their names in numerous places on the car…because no one knows what it is. The Mustang is immediately recognized, world wide. They need to keep that. My 2011 GT/CS may be looking at new home when the ’15 comes out. We shall see.

  • Casey said:

    This is not a Mustang. Period, end of story. Luckily, I have no doubt that the real design will look nothing like this.

    Looks like they’re trying to make the front end too small to fit anything larger than a 4.0 in so they can stick front wheel drive up our, uh, tailpipes!! Looks disgusting. MUSCLE CARS DON’T HAVE TO LOOK AERODYNAMIC!! In fact they look better when they aren’t!!

  • Dan said:

    If that’s the new Mustang, it’s DOA… I accept the smaller and lighter idea, but the Fusion-like styling and IRS will kill the sales.
    Ford’s “corporate EVOS design” will not work on the Mustang. Now watch them try to use that design on the F150…not gonna work!!!!
    Watch and see, it will be changed!

  • EL SHELBY said:

    I like the look, just not for a Mustang. Why would anyone want a Mustang that could be confused with a Focus or Fusion?

  • Echo said:

    They tried the 4cylinder engine in the 70′s. I agree the blue oval isn’t necessary,and leave the taillights the way they are now.

  • John Romanello said:

    I love the front but would rather have the current pony logo in the center of the grille.I hate the rear tail lights & black trunk cover.Too much black back there like the 2013 mustang.The narrow tail lights & t black truck cover make the bumper cover look too fat The mirrors would look better If they were not black. Side view looks good looks like a Mustang.

  • Bob said:

    If this is the future of the Mustang , Ford is in deep trouble.
    I have owned a few Mustangs , This is NO Mustang !!!!

  • Sean said:

    Looks a bit like the Hyundai Genesis Coupe.

  • greg said:

    Simply awlful.

  • Robert said:

    I agree with Sean… My first impression was that of a Hyundai… I mean really??? Is this the future of Ford??? Some things just shouldn’t be screwed with…. Not everyone likes the European look….

  • Wes said:

    RIP Mustang. It was a good run.

  • matt starr said:

  • Cristina Campos said:

    No parece un Mustang,los amantes del Mustang esperamos que este carro no rompa la armonia

  • Eduardo F Rodriguez said:

  • Michael said:

  • Porsche Guy said:

    Bad Ass. Welcome to 2015 Ford! I would buy one in a freaking heatbeat as long as the interior is brought forward out of the stone age as well.

    Kind of stunned by the comments here. I may be a Porsche guy but I just put my name on the 302S list and was thrilled to do so. Wanting Ford to continue building stone age technology is a going out of business strategy.

    Ford is looking to me like they are shooting at Porsche Boxster/911 and that is awesome. Keep up the good work and forward thinking Ford. REALLY looking forward to the track version of this car. Smaller, lighter, more aerodynamic, independent rear suspension. Thank you, may I have another?

    :-)

    Its not a mustang if they get rid of its identity it won’t last.

  • Eat my 5.0's dust said:

    Are you freakin kidding me! If this the future of the mustang then I see no future for this breed of ponys! Leave the space ship look for the aliens because this is so not american muscle. Please dont do it ford please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Annoymous said:

    Ford do not produce this car! It looks like a Supercar and it be too much for those who have supercars to look at! You got to step it back down to making the “American” pony/muscle car. A car that is substandard; ugly, crappo interior and eats gas. Plus, it rear wheel drive so you cannot drive it in the winter if you live in the snow climate. No to this super looking car!

  • PMGilbert said:

    I seen pictures of the new Mustang a few weeks ago and was totally disapointed in the direction Ford is taking our beloved all American pony car.
    So I decided to go out and buy a new 5.0 a couple days ago. Figured I better buy one now before there is no real Mustangs left.

    I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • jake said:

    people need to keep an open mind regarding the next gen mustang…am i crazy in love with the rendering above? not really, but you can’t keep doing the same old thing, gotta step on some toes, in terms of design.

    as far as the powertrains are concerned,keep the v6 (great motor) and add the t4. i think ford should create a new mustang model centered around the turbo 4 cylinder engine: it would be a performance model but it would prioritize fuel economy as the primary focus of the model. taller gearing to help the hiway mileage and definitely add auto-stop for around town driving…this is critical, imo. lots of people (me included) don’t do alot of hiway driving and the stop and go of every traffic is what needs to be addressed in terms of fuel savings.

    the only question is: whatd’ya call it? the mustang se? awful.

  • MAGSTER said:

    I CAN BARELY REMEMBER THE REAR FASCIA OF THE CONCEPT BUT THAT FRONT FASCIA AND PROFILE IS BY FAR THE CLOSEST INTERPRETATION OF WHAT I CAN REMEMBER SEEING ON THE FINAL PROTOTYPE!

    THREE PROTOTYPES WHERE BUILT…NOTCHBACK AND FASTBACKS

  • gary said:

    the 2005-2013 mustangs are very retro and should stay that way.. euro styling is a dead deal…not attractive…sales are going to plummet.not cool…awful..what else can you say.

  • a.n.onimous said:

    Don’t like it,looks like an Aston Martin!!!Keep the current design,the 2013 Roush/Shelby incarnations are the mutts nadgers!

  • Rick_Leuce said:

    I agree with the majority of the posts. Looks like a Taurus (not a bad look but not a Mustang’s look either)

  • Brian said:

    That’s ugly. It doesn’t look like a mustang.

  • fark said:

    It looks like a Hyundang.

  • Gary Dobbs said:

    My dad had a 70 boss 302..beautiful. My brother had a 1990 lx 5.0…beautiful. My dad bought a 2010 5.0 mustang new in 2010..beautiful…sinister..super fast! The new design? It looks like a Aston Martin. What is Ford trying to do? Gm did this with the bug eyed Camaro back in 1998 going away from the double head lights that everyone loved and it sucked. Sales plummeted because that front end looked like a Jaguar NOT a Camaro. We know how it ended for GM..they killed it. It took a retro syled hot Mustang to motivate Gm to build a CAMARO not euroTRASH. Now look what Ford is doing going to the Eurolook! Bye Bye Mustang. This is still AMERICA. Build a car that looks American or kiss future buyers goodbye!!!!

    All I can think of is pansy…….. I’ll see if my grandma is interested

  • shy.tack said:

    I’m okay with this. Doesn’t look like a mustang, but hey, neither did anything else they developed late 70s-2004. Hopefully this will get its run and Ford will revamp the retro look.

    Still, it looks more like a Hyundai Genesis than an American pony car. It’s beautiful for a Hyundai, and just awkwardly confused for a Mustang. It’s like they took everything that was ugly about the 10-13′s, enhanced those, and deleted everything that saved the 10-13′s.

    They need to change the front. Make the hood a LOT longer and extended a little more over the grill, drop the blue oval and…um. Oh nevermind, Ford.

    I’m glad I have a ’11. (yes it has its flaws but god I love my car.)

  • shy.tack said:

    Porsche Guy. You are a dunce if you think the mustang needs to get any smaller.

  • Santos L Halper said:

    Shame on its 50th year of production they would introduce the Probe V. 2.0

  • Dheilig said:

    This is not a mustang. I would not buy this.

  • John said:

    That rendition is ugly as heck…The back end is tolerable..If the front looks like that, I will just buy another 2013 and store it…

  • Santos L Halper said:

    Take a look at Chevy the taillights of the Vette,Camaro and now Impala all look the same,you could basically put the front clip of any Chev product onto another and it would barley look any different.

    FORD please DO NOT go in this direction with all your product. J Mays almost KILLED the Taurus,now you are handing over an icon for him to kill off as well.

  • izi1 said:

    This is not a Mustang.
    It is a Fusion coupe…

  • izi1 said:

    This is not a Mustang. It is not even a muscle car.
    It is a Fusion coupe…

  • Jazzboy said:

    Fusion coupe about sums it up. This is not good. It looks like Ford may be headed toward another Mustang II fiasco. Ford, take a cue from Porsche, the 911 will always look like a 911. Small updates and tweaks, but after all these years it still looks like a 911. Mustang should evolve in the same manner.

  • red said:

    every old man that is saying this isn’t a mustang needs to accept change this is already the direction ford is going you can’t stop it and it looks incredible, if you keep the same thing for 50 years people will get sick of it, the future look looks nice.
