The 2015 Mustang has a 107.1-inch wheelbase, and despite actually looking longer than the 2014 model in person, it's one fifth of an inch shorter overall. The most dynamic change of dimension, though, is the width. The rear track has been stretched from 62.1 to 64.9 inches, and the car is 1.5 inches wider overall.
I think the overall styling makes it look noticeably more aggressive, athletic and planted. Ford already has it lowered 1.4 inches vs the 2014.
The suspension has finally be addressed to what Mustang addicts have been crying for years: IRS. And it's just not the same current platform either. Rather, it resulted in an all new set-up: a double-ball-joint independent setup with MacPherson struts in place of the reverse-L setup of the current car.
The six-speed automatic the first time will feature genuine paddle shifters.
Lastly, look inside the cabin... Passenger volume is up from 81 cubic feet to 84.5, with more leg, shoulder and hip room in front.
I love it.... Not so much as to get rid of my 11' but I think it was inevitable. Besides, the first renditions of 1st gen cars usually are just an inkling of their potential. Still not quite sold on the tail light portion of the car but overall I think it's pretty cool.
