Ford Mustang 2015-Present

The sixth-generation Ford Mustang (S550) is the current iteration of the Mustang manufactured by Ford. The new Mustang was introduced as a 2015 model year vehicle, marking the fiftieth anniversary of the Ford Mustang. Redesigned with a more aggressive and aerodynamic exterior, the modern Mustang maintains its classic style while embracing contemporary design elements. The sleek, sculpted body and signature tri-bar taillights pay homage to its heritage, while various trim levels offer unique features and styling touches.

Underpinning the Mustang's evolution is a switch to an independent rear suspension, which improves handling and ride comfort compared to previous generations. Technological advancements have taken center stage inside the cabin, with a user-friendly infotainment system and driver-assistance features. Performance remains a focal point, with various engines, including potent V6s, turbocharged EcoBoost options, and powerful V8 GT models. Special editions like the Shelby GT350 and GT500 continue to push the envelope regarding performance and track capability, making the 2015-Present Ford Mustang an impressive blend of tradition and innovation in American muscle cars.
