2015 Ford Mustang Spy Photos

Earlier this year, we brought you a photo of what we thought could be the new ’15 Mustang hiding inside the S-197 shell. There were a few indications pointing toward the 2015 Ford Mustang being cleverly tested incognito. Well, another “photo” (above) has surfaced claiming to be a spy shot of the new Mustang (looks a little photoshopped). We’re not convinced, but check out this next claim…

Not only do we have another “spy photo” but according to StangTV, a forum member of AllFordMustangs.com had the chance to compare new ’15 Mustang in-person as part of a marketing test group and decided to spill his findings. He says that the front end is larger than the current model and features “slit-styled” headlights. The trunk is shorter and it also has honeycomb grille with louvered taillights. The third brake light is also located BELOW the license plate. The forum member who made these claims said the concept rendering he’s seen that looks the closest to the 2015 Mustang that Ford showed him is this:

Not much was said about the interior except that the cup-holder is still in front of the shifter and everything appeared to have larger buttons.

He goes on to say that what he saw was a 2.3-L EcoBoost producing 310 horsepower while running 34 mpg, highway we assume. He brought up the option of a possible V8 EcoBoost creation that will likely get 500+ horses and still make 30 mpg.

It has been repeated that the Mustang will feature Independent Rear Suspension which has some worried, especially the hardcore live-axle enthusiasts, of where the new Mustang is headed.

What do you think of these 2015 test claims? Should we be convinced? Comment below and tell us what you think!

    Honestly, there are going to be people who love it, and people who hate it. That’s the way it always is when something changes. I for one, absolutely love my 2011 GT, but since I’m a car guy, I like most sports cars. Therefore, I’m very intrigued and am highly anticipating the new design. There were a lot of people who loved the SN95 Mustang and when the S197 came out they absolutely hated the “new retro” look. It’s the same here with the S197 and the new ’15 Mustang.

    Everyone keeps saying 2015, I understand that 2014 is the 50 year mustang anniversary and bet they will do something huge! …but what could that be??? Does ford already have the 2014 design set and now all the ideas are for 2015? Is anyone else confused with this?

    • http://www.facebook.com/kpaleyjr Kevin S Paley Jr

      they will be releasing it on the anniversary date making it a 2014.5…..the origional one was a 1964.5 everyone knows that….they will not be releasing a 2014 from what i understand the 2013 will be the last year of this body style

      • Blake

        isn’t the “2014″ going to be out in 2013? therefore the “2015″ would come out at the appropriate 2014.5 time?

    • http://www.facebook.com/michaelmihelich Mike Mihelich

      1965 was the first mustang released in 1964. 2015 is the 50th anniversary.

      • Eyes Blue

        the mustang debuted as a 1964 1/2 mustang made in late 1964, so mike ur right the mustang was released in 1964, but as a 1964 1/2 model

    • huwtm

      The US release a year ahead of the model (or 6 months, but you get it) so, 2015 will come out usually in 2014.

    I will not like it, mostly because it is almost assuredly going to be a smaller car. Think ’73 going into ’74. Ford knows they cant cancel a V8 altogether, but they can make it like the early 80′s and offer a 4 banger that has similar 0-60 times etc as the offered V8 and make the 8 cost more- or, if this guys numbers are right, make the 8 a lot more potent but then make the GT package(or equivolent) cost a lot more. The independent rear isnt a big deal to me, and overall the car will probably have a significant gain in lateral G’s and the like. I really think Ford is repeating history. We have a crazy powerful Boss 351 out(even if not in full name, though I wouldnt be surprised to see that nameplate in ’14) and now we see a transition to a smaller car with a smaller standard engine. Maybe in ’18 we will see a new SVO. Any way you shake it, “turbo 4″ just loses something after 50 years of V8 pony car history. Oh and also, hate the headlights. Let the Crapmero guys keep the little slit style.

    SICK shape, apart from the front lights that make it look like a Jaguar.. And i need those wheels on my 13GT!!

    you see i love all mustangs but this 2015 mustang is driveing me nuts i cant wait for it to come out its going to be one hell of a cool mustang i know it will

  • xL1KEASTANGx

    What happened to “American Muscle”?this looks like some foreign car. I mean seriously a 4 banger? We got enough rice burners in the U.S. as it is.Dont like it at all.

    • ToxicGT92

      Whats wrong with having a 4Cyl Mustang thats faster than the V6 and gets better MPG? While still having the V8 as the flag ship, and you realize there has already been a 4cyl Mustang and the original was an inline 6…

  • dphillips13

    2010-2013 S197 is the nicest mustang body ever created, there I said it.

    Say good by to the tribute models and hello to new futuristic creations, all I can say is I’m happy I bought when I did ;)

    2012 GT

    He’s wrong about the engine. The V6 won’t go away. Ford makes too much off of it and most mustangs are V6s.

  • ToxicGT92

    Hopefully this goes to the top, THE ecoboost 4cyl ISNT replacing the GT! why cant everyone see how brilliant this is? you have a mustang that gets insane gas mileage and is also decently fast while still being a mustang! and “oh its unlike any mustang before rabble rabble rabble..” there was a 4CYL Mustang in the 80s…

    Brings back the 79 -93 mustang 4 banger 2.3l 88hp. I don’t think I’d kick a 310 hp 4 cylinder out of bed though.

  • Blake

    i highly doubt that if ford even did something like this that they would give the people such specific numbers like 2.3L and 310 horsepower. although i do think it will look similar to those concepts but of course not exactly like any of them because manufacturers don’t have the balls. i also think a turbo v-6 is much more likely than a turbo i-4 but hey you never know and this guy certainly doesn’t.

  • Blake

    Anyone else simply trust Ford? I do. I’m nothing but excited for Mustang’s future and the rest of Ford’s future. I can’t wait until I can get the money to buy my own GT.

    • http://www.facebook.com/eric.bushroe Eric Bushroe

      i cant wait, i’m trying to get my wife to wait for are new york trip and go to see this at the new york auto show, i can’t remeber when the last time i was so excited to see a new car, its driving me nuts

  • ferrellmike

    Yuck. The front end has lost it’s aggressive muscle. If this design comes out, I may go Camaro. The 2013 body style is by far the best ever for a Mustang.

    • http://twitter.com/carterjmd john carter

      Agreed. Love the 2010 and up bodystyle and the 2013 perfected it with that mean front grill and slick taillight set up

  • ferrellmike

    Who is the DH from Ford upper executives that says the front grill has to match all upcoming Fords as the new face of the Ford brand. The Mustang is the exception. It’s an American icon. It’s like saying the Corvette needs to have the front end grill of the new Malibu or Volt. Terrible thinking.

    i have waited for a mustang rhd for a long time but if it looks like the pictures above, no way would i buy it! Where is the muscle look? Looks more like a aston martin! Im praying for them to keep the 2013 shape and a nice v8

  • craveand2@yahoo.com

    change is inevitable likely leaving us looking through photo albums of the ones we loved. However, the renderings i’ve seen of the ’15 mustang, lets face it, could be worse. I will be devestated if they cut the 5.0 out of the line-up. I mean, come on, you can’t say mustang and not think of that gutteral roar that seds shivers down your spine. C’mon ford, for all of us die hard mustang fanatics, do the right thing.

  • gmaninvan

    That concept with the slit headlights is super sick! Hopefully it comes out close to that.

  • Bryan Smith

    I think the body style looks pretty good as a concept. It needs a little work to make it more aggressive looking like a Mustang should but the rest I think looks pretty decent. It shouldn’t look like a Taurus or Fusion. I happen to love the retro look of the current platform but I also believe everything has to evolve. Just keep it looking like a Mustang. The Camaro is the least “retro” of the three pony cars and it’s out selling everyone. That right there tells you that change is needed but I hope Ford doesn’t change the platform to a smaller Euro-Acceptable car. This has to stay a Pony car… Keep the Coyote 5.0 V8 and offer a 5.8 litre option so you don’t have to buy a $70,000 Shelby to get a bigger engine. Keep the EcoTech V6 as the base engine. We dont need a 4-Cyl. We don’t Mustangs because we want a fuel efficient commuter. I think the switch to IRS is a good idea. I think the live axle configuration has been the achillees heal for the Mustang. This is 2013!!! Nothing outside of a truck should run a live axle. Dumping the live axle alone should help the European market sales. Besides, the Camaro and the Challenger are both IRS and it doesn’t hurt their sales. I know the drag race guys like the live axle but if you drag race and you cut up and tub the rear then you can convert it to 9″.

    Ford…Don’t screw this up.

  • huwtm

    Has anyone seen the clays. They give the best idea of what it looks like.

    I myself LOVED my 97, i love the 94-98 style, that is my all time favorite, plus the fox bodys, and 67-68 fastbacks,
    But i cant stop looking up the 2015. its a year away, well the 2014.5 and i’m picking up pennies to make sure i get one, Now i’m a mustang fan from day one, exce;pt the mustang II crap, but ive seen some rederings that show it looking like a Ferrari 599 GTO, which i’m fine with, i mean The Corvette is nothing but an american Ferrari, if u dont belive me, look at the pics,. its proven, And i’m all for that style. i love the head lights, everything so far, I hope they spend alot of time doing the interior, that needs alot of work, and has needed it for ever, I just bought a 2013 focus, and i love that, i want the fusion but the wife won, But What i’m really wanting to see is the Roush Mustang, I wont buy the basic gt 5.0, i want the Roush with 500HP. even at 50,000$$$ and i’ll just murder all the crap GM puts out, and well i’ll take it easy on the challenger,
    So ford if you read this, please do something with the seats and dash, its been needing done from day one,
