Lightbulb First Look 2015 Mustang Interior, tach redline, and IRS

Tons of buttons, but at least less than a Porsche panamera

Interesting 6500 rpm matches Focus ST's redline, so probably a 2 liter turbo 4 with ecoboost.

One wonders how long V8's will be around given the stringent fuel economy regs set in place for 2016 by the Obama administration. The Ecoboost 4 cylinder makes sense for the base Mustang. Hopefully, the next Mustang will be much lighter and smaller than the current car, which would still give great performance. BMW is going to use a turbo inline six in the next M3, so I think this is the future of performance cars. I just wish Mitsubishi would continue to develop the 4B11T for the next Evo, but apparently, they are one step ahead of Ford and BMW when it comes to green performance.

Meh, don't care until they unveil the new body. Want to see if it actually gets smaller like they promised.

I thought Ford already stated that a 4 cyl turbo was already a sure thing. We just don't know what we're going to see for any V6/V8 options. Would love to see a V6 Ecoboost.
