2015 Ecoboost at Washington Auto Show

Far from great pictures - the exhibit was very crowded, I'm a lousy photographer, my phone is old, etc. etc. The car was sealed and the presenters wouldn't open a door or turn on a light. But here are a few pictures:

I wonder if there will be more wheel options on the Ecoboost model.

Are there any visible exterior differences between the 3.7 and the 2.3 i.e. grill, badging?

The only badges I noticed on this one were the ponies on the grill and rear decklid. I'd guess there will be differences on the production cars, but I don't know.

Just saw it too. Impressions:

Nothing shockingly different than what's been discussed already.

Overall, very nice and a well done and needed update to the Mustang. Kind of reminds me how the James Bond franchise was devolving into self caricature ... until Daniel Craig came along and revitalized the brand.

Old Mustang nearby definitely looked looked old and just a but crude and clunky -- not bad, but not fresh.

As noted by some, the nose seems slightly out of scale/balance compared to the sleeker, tighter back, but only slightly. Should have tapered it a touch more.

Lower grill/valance is also a bit fussy. Perhaps trying a little too hard to look bad azz for the oldsters.

Interior looked, from the outside, far better than the outgoing Stang.

Stance was lower, sleeker and tighter - much sportier and agile looking.

Only the word of the presenter, I guess. AFAIK, though, only two Race Red prototypes have been shown - the Ecoboost and a GT.

I just hope they include the "EcoBoost" logo somewhere.

It's because it's a Pre Production Prototype. It is pretty common for Ford to Spray Paint the Entire Undercarriage and Engine Compartment Black on their Prototypes.
