2015 Ford Mustang pace car - Official

Looks great, but they should have used the new GT500.





From press release:
· All-new 2015 Ford Mustang will serve as pace car for the Quicken Loans 400 NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Michigan International Speedway June 15, a fitting tribute to 50 years of continuous production

· Joe Hinrichs, Ford Motor Company president of The Americas, will drive the Race Red Mustang GT fastback to start the race

· This sixth-generation, rear-wheel-drive Mustang boasts iconic long hood, short rear decklid proportions, as well as the low, wide stance of its predecessors, but features a design that is very much 21st century, with state-of-the-art engineering and technology

7 pictures and full press release

Considering Ford hasn't even publicly acknowledged the existence of a GT500 or any car beyond the V6, Ecoboost and GT that was never likely. Also, these "standard" cars haven't even gone on sale yet. They would never steal the thunder from these cars so early in the game. Look for the "whatever they end up calling it" halo Mustang to pace something next year after all the hype has died down on the redesign. They will do that to get people talking about the Mustang again and steal thunder from anything Chevy or Dodge might be doing.

The 2015 looks good with a light bar. Future CHP 5.0?

Wink

I watched the race on television and saw the new Mustang pace the race. The white racing stripes made the Mustang pace car look very much like a 2014 GT500.

Just redesign the front. It's the only thing I don't like about it, gross.
