Rumors on the 2014 Mustang GT500, 2015 Mustang.

Posted on 19. Jul, 2011 by in News

While it had been rumored that the 2014 Ford Mustang GT500 would be adding twin turbochargers, Autoblog has learned that this is not the case. The GT500 will retain the supercharger for now, though it’s still expected to get a healthy bump in horsepower for 2014. Currently, the GT500 makes 550 horsepower and that number is expected to rise by 20, to 570 horsepower, when the 2014 model appears in early 2013. It’s expected that this will surely exceed the output of the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1.

Meanwhile, the waters remain muddy surrounding the all-new 2015 Mustang. Here’s a few things we know (or we think we know):

  • The 2013 and 2014 Mustangs will remain pretty similar to what we’re seeing with the 2012 Mustang. Ford is going to continue to build the current Pony car, possibly with a few minor updates, while they’re preparing the next edition.
  • A new Mustang will appear for the 2015 model year. It’s expected that this will not be just a refinement of the existing S197 platform but, instead, will be a whole new car, and “an evolution of the 2005, 2010 cars.” –Ford’s design chief J. Mays, at the 2010 Paris Auto Show. So, what does that mean? We’re not sure. It could include many of the changes we reported last month. Of course, the new 2015 Mustang might be something totally different, too, since so few details have been released. Most everything is pure speculation at this point!

We’ll keep following along with the rumors/news about the 2015 Mustang and keep reporting what we find out. If you have a source and hear anything, please let us know! In the meantime, what do you think the 2015 Mustang will look like?

    All I can say is that concept they have up for the 2015 I like a lot! Much better than that Giugiaro concept. Hope the front facia ends up at a happy medium between the 05-09 and current gen. I think one thing ford needs to look at is what body kit designers are coming out with. I mean, the front portion of the B-2 kit (and other variants) from Cervini, with the extended headlight buckets and hood, turned the 05-09 mustangs into a whole new car easily 100x better than fords design, and truer to what ford was trying to do with the “retro” styling.

    and if anyone complains about the mustang having “hips”, first off, Mustang was first, not the Camero, and Mustang from the start had them. In my opinion, its one of the best looking body lines on the car.

    What ever the 2015 might be, two things are musts.

    It must say “I am a Mustang”. And it must say “I am an American”.

    FORD- Get the new car right the 1st time. Get the power to the ground via awd and a manual automated transmission.
    The new mustang must loose at least 600 lbs a be able to compete with the Corvette and the more technically advanced GT-R. Make the car in the USA and prove to the world that Ford can build a super car that will compete with the best. THE FORD GT IS AN EXCELLENT DESIGN TO APPLY TO THE NEW MUSTANG JUST REFINE IT MORE AND CHANGE THE BODY TO REFLECT SOME MUSTANG HERITAGE. I will trade in my 2012 5.0 convertible if you get it right.
