To be fully unveiled in 2015

Automobile Magazine has released images depicting the first 2015 Ford Mustang tuning program from Roush.

The AM team was invited to have an exclusive sneak peek at the vehicle and the pictures from this private event show an aggressive aerodynamic kit finished in black. The tuners have replaced the radiator entire grille and front fascia, while there are also new hood vents and an optional hood scoop. At the back the car features a redesigned fascia and a new spoiler.

Roush claims some of the details like the front splitter and the rear diffuser actually improve the Mustang’s aerodynamic performance. The car benefits from new 20-inch wheels that are slightly lighter than the stock ones. The company has also put an optimized brake system.

Like the previous Roush Mustangs, the new model will be offered with different tuning kits. This time the structure is a bit different – the RS kit is designed for the V6 version, the RS1 is focused on the turbocharged EcoBoost Mustang and the RS2 is made for the range-topping V8 modifications.

The 2015 Roush Mustang will be revealed later this year with sales starting in 2015.

The four-cylinder turbo Mustang starts a new era, headrests aren't for resting your head and dual exhausts demystified.

Texan tuning king unveils supercharged V8 pony car to rival Corvette Z06. Run

John Hennessey is sad. Sad the new Ford Mustang - even with its 5.0-litre V8 - doesn't have the firepower to run with the upcoming Corvette Z06 and certifiable SRT Challenger Hellcat.

After all, that Z06 manages 650bhp, with the Hellcat making 57bhp more. The poor Mustang must make do with a paltry 420bhp. Barely enough to get it up a gentle hill.

So, in a brief break from attempting to dial his Venom F5 up to 290mph, John Hennessey has made the Mustang, um, Mustangrier. This is the supercharged Hennessey HPE700, and it is out for bloody vengeance.

Courtesy of a Roots-style supercharger running 7.25psi of boost, the ‘Stang's big V8 now generates a carnivorous 717bhp, with 632lb ft of torque for good measure. That's a jump of nearly 300bhp over the Mustang's standard output, good for a 0-60mph time of 3.6 seconds.

No word on top speed, but Hennessey tells us the HPE700 will smash the quarter-mile in just 11.2 seconds, at 131mph. He says that's 5mph quicker than the Challenger Hellcat will hit on the standing quarter, and reckons the HPE700 could beat the Vette Z06, too.

This being Hennessey, there's more than just a shiny new supercharger on show here. The HPE700 gets a new stainless steel exhaust, uprated fuel injectors and pumps, ECU flash, masses of engorged carbon fibre bodywork and a set of Hennessey's own lightweight 20-inch alloys.

Hennessey says production will be limited to just 500 units (including the cost of the base car, fear not), with prices starting at $59,500. Perhaps not coincidentally, that's within a whisker of the price of that Hellcat.

We're also told Hennessey is planning a ‘high performance upgrade program' for the base Mustang's 2.3-litre turbo four-cylinder engine. Presumably through the addition of a second 2.3-litre turbo four-cylinder engine.

So, muscle enthusiasts, what's your weapon of choice for frying tyres? This, the Hellcat or the soon-to-arrive Z06?

To be offered with two engines

Ford has presented the Euro-spec Mustang during the Paris Motor Show.

The model will go on sale across the continent in 2015 in fastback and convertible variants. This will happen for the first time after 50 years of production. The manufacturer says the car brings “world-class levels of performance and refinement”, while “embracing the Mustang’s half-century of heritage and status as a global icon”.

In Europe the sports vehicle will be offered with two engines – the 5.0-liter V8 with 420 bhp (313 kW) and 390 lb-ft (528 Nm) of torque and the 2.3-liter EcoBoost turbo unit generating 305 bhp (227 kW) and 300 lb-ft (406 Nm) of torque. It also features all-new front and rear suspension systems, performance brakes and standard 19-inch wheels.

The new Mustang will be among the first Ford vehicles in Europe to offer the SYNC 2, the company’s new infotainment system that is equipped with an 8-inch touch screen and advanced voice control.

FPV Falcons may be gone but there is a new performance hero for the blue oval on the way.
