Here’s something you don’t see too often: a twin-turbo, Coyote-powered Lincoln Mark VIII that pulls like a big dog on the top end.

You know shit’s about to get real when you see Ford engineers testing a Mustang on the Nürburgring. Now, if those Ford engineers forded the Atlantic Ocean to get to Europe, that would be very intimidating to the Mustang’s European competitors, but I digress.

These numbers still have to be certified, but they are official Ford horsepower and torque stats. Swim among the facts and figures after the jump.

By today’s standards, Fox Bodies, and most muscle cars for that matter, aren’t considered safe. No airbags, no ABS, questionable seat belts, but hey: they had padded steering wheels, right? Well, having them, and having them stay in place during a crash is a different story as you’ll see.

Brute horsepower is awe-inspiring. We’re not talking 600, 700 or even 800 hp; we’re talking 1,500+ hp at the tires. That kind of power is enough to make any gearhead weak in his/her knees.

How important is it to get the model year right when trying to sell a classic Mustang? Well, as we’ve learned here at The Mustang Source, more important than most people outside the classic car universe would ever realize.

With news that the 2015 Mustang has kicked into full production, it won’t be long before you see it on the streets, or better yet, in your driveway.
