Further proof that Ford has become masterful as reinterpreting its rich history, the next-generation Mustang looks like a rolling history lesson. Found memories of burnouts past can't mask the thoroughly modern structure the car is based on, promising more rigidity and refinement than the current car. The chassis retains a rear live axle setup, with MacPherson struts up front. The Mustang will be offered initially with a choice of 4.0-liter/202-hp SOHC V-6 engine and 4.6-liter/300-hp SOHC V-8. A six-inch increase in wheelbase provides a much-needed interior space increase. The interior shows '60s influences with symmetrical dash segments accented with a squared arch, three-spoke steering wheel with black center hub, and defined circular gauges. Judging from show reactions, this Mustang is good enough to even draw GM loyalists to the Blue Oval, especially with the Camaro and Firebird long retired.
