SVTP Coverage of NAIAS 2014 : The 2015 S550 Mustang

Photo Overload Inside :: The All-New Mustang is so impressive that it deserves its own article full of pics.http://www.svtperformance.com/forum...tp-coverage-naias-2014-2015-s550-mustang.htmlhttp://www.svtperformance.com/forum...tp-coverage-naias-2014-2015-s550-mustang.html

​

Just look at the photo above. In my opinion that is simply the finest interior ever fit to a factory Mustang. We're certainly come a long way since the cardboard backed door panels of the Fox era, or the huge gaps and poor fitting components of the SN-95 cars. The 2015's interior is replete with premium soft-touch materials and tight fitting panels. The optional "leather" wrapped dash is attractive and the aluminum switches are definitely a nod to a fighter plane cockpit. The integration of the navigation system is far superior to prior years (which was really good for its time), and it's great to see a modern car that still uses intuitively placed buttons to control HVAC and audio functions instead of relying solely on the nav screen. To put it simply the interior of 2015 Mustang is truly world class.

A subtle exterior styling que that a lot of people tend to miss on first glance it the slight double-bubble roof, a feature found on many high performance cars throughout the years (think viper). The 20" wheels included with the 15" Brembo brake package fill the wheel openings nicely and really sets off the profile. Speaking of the profile, the lowered roof line and shortened deck lid are reminiscent of late-60's Mustangs. To me, the 2015 Mustang is the best looking pony car yet, and we haven't even see what the guys over at SVT have in store. Traditionally the SVT car is the pinnacle of Mustang styling on a particular platform, I expect the same for S550. In the meantime, check out our photos and our quick walk-around video:

Very cool!

 

[DSG2003Mach1]

cant wait to see one in person!

 

[Cvialp5901]

The trunk looks huge!!, But that's a good thing

 

[helloWorld]

Maybe I am looking at the pictures incorrectly, but have they dropped the redline on the 5.0 down to 6500 RPM?

It looks much better in person than it does in photos.

It is pretty big.

It looks like that, but you have to keep in mind that these are prototypes and may not reflect the final car.

 

[Fast Willy]

looks absolutely awesome, but I find it odd that the front set touches the rear if the seat is all the way back.

 

[HEMIHUNTER]

Any gauges between the tach and speedo? And a vacuum guage? hmmmmm.
They wouldn't let you turn the ignition to ON?
Other than the twin scooped white car- [I like the stripes but for me stopping stripes at the end of the hood/rear deck looks better]-they all look good.

 

[mystickb1996]

i was wondering the same thing, it has a vac gauge? also on my 2014 5.0 the shifter/center counsel section is configured in a way that its not comfy to rest your arm on but at least you can cover the cup holders. the 2015 looks to have the same issue with no good place to rest your arm and on this one there is no lid to cover the cup holders.. guess i will have to sit in one to see how it feels.. (also hemihunter the twin scooped white car is a 2013-2014 model but i agree with you on the stripes) but next to the 15 the 14 looks more bold/meaner imo

 

[4v_mach1]

very gorgeous

 

[13GT5.0]

I saw this car in person and while it's great looking, it's not better looking or more agressive looking than a dropped 13-14 GT with some agressive wheels. The interior however is better quality! Great pics and thanks for all the info.

That's the Need for Speed Mustang.

That's about as bold as they come.

Back on topic, I do like the way the S550 looks, I'm excited to see one in person.

 

[JayVee]

I like it...I am actually starting to love it...minus the front nose as a whole design. Still trying to adapt it still looking like a FUSION or TAURUS on steroids or mad. IMO they should have done something bold but not resembling the rest of the line up...I mean, this is FORD's "Flagship!" I am digging that interior big time! and glad to see they added a dead pedal...lol! My 2012 does not have one. Loving the IRS design also...

 

[Hwy. Chile]

Is the blue striped white mustang a '14? Thanks for the pics!

[0mineralgrey3]

heated and cooled recaros....bastards!

 

[Zemedici]

Looks damn good. I would pick one up except for the 'me too' factor: any idea Of production numbers?

 

[mattadams6552]

I really like to get one a few years after they come out. I like them the more i see them.

 

[WhiTriCobra]

Might get a 2016. Get all the bugs out of the 2015 first. Looks bada$$.
