From the spy photos and rendering pictures of the new generation Ford Mustang road test exposed, compared with the current model, the overall shape of the new car is more sharp.

Specifically, in terms of appearance, the new car uses Ford's latest family design language. A larger hexagonal intake grille is used on the front face, and a matrix light source is used on both sides of the LED lamp group. On the side of the body, the new car continues to maintain the design style of the cash model, with a 5.0L logo on the side and surrounded before exercise, and the rims are blackened.

According to the concern of the automobile industry, the Ford Mustang was first launched in 1964 and has gone through six generations of model iterations so far. The first-generation Ford Mustang was unveiled at the New York World Expo on April 17, 1964. the body size is 4610/1730/1300mm, the wheelbase is 2700mm, and it is equipped with 2.8L straight six self-priming engine and 4.3L V8 self-priming engine, in which 2.8L straight six self-priming engine has a maximum power of 106hp and maximum torque of 212Nm. Since then, 3.3L straight six self-priming and 4.7L V8 self-priming with three different adjustments have been added with a power of 195 horsepower / 225 horsepower / 271 horsepower respectively. Because of its high performance-to-price ratio, the first-generation Ford Mustang sold 100000 vehicles in just three months after it went on sale.

The second generation Ford Mustang released in 1974, compared with the first generation model, the new car body size is much smaller, length, width and height respectively is 4445/1783/1278mm, wheelbase is 2443mm, in view of the oil crisis, the car power also cancelled the V8 engine, switching to V6 and straight four two self-priming engines, nevertheless, the second generation Ford Mustang also achieved good sales performance after the launch, with sales approaching 300000 in the first year on the market. From 1974 to 1978, the cumulative sales exceeded 1.1 million vehicles.

The third-generation Ford Mustang was released in 1979, which was based on the Fox platform used by Ford at that time. Compared with the previous two generations, the new car has a more avant-garde appearance, equipped with 2.3L straight 4, 2.8L V6 and 5.0L V8 engines, and has become one of the most iconic models of American automobile culture only one year after its release. Since then, Ford has improved its V8 power, replacing the 5.0L V8 with a 4.2L V8 with 121 horsepower, a move that has also attracted a lot of attention in the car circle. In addition, the third-generation Ford Mustang also carried a 2.3T turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 132hp, which completely overtook the V8 engine, but Ford Mustang sales were affected by the failure of the turbocharger. Ford upgraded its 5.0L V8 engine in 1985 and will be equipped with a Mustang GT model with a maximum power of 212hp, and this is the last Mustang model with a carburetor V8 engine. This generation of models has undergone two changes, with cumulative sales of more than 2.6 million vehicles.

When the fourth-generation Ford Mustang was released in 1993, the model was hailed as "the Mustang that doesn't look like a Mustang," but it still sold 1.4 million. The car carries a 3.8L V6 engine with a maximum power of 147hp and a peak torque of 292Nm, while a higher-performance version of the GT has a 5.0LV8 engine with a maximum power of 215hp and a peak torque of 386Nm, followed by "emission reduction", which is replaced by 4.6LV8. In 2004, Ford announced the formal suspension of production of the fourth-generation Mustang.

The fifth-generation Ford Mustang, released in 2005, is the pinnacle of all previous generations of models. This generation of models is based on the new D2C platform, and the overall design style returns to the style of the first generation, and at the same time integrates the concept of modern car construction. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the car are 4780/1880/1410mm and its wheelbase is 2720mm, which is basically the same as that of the first generation model. In power, the conventional Mustang is equipped with a 4.0L V6 engine with a maximum power of 212hp and a peak torque of 325Nm; the higher performance version of GT has a 4.6LV8 engine with a maximum power of 304hp and a peak torque of 433Nm. The most classic Shelby Mustang is also officially back in this generation of models. Compared with previous generations, this generation is the most successful, selling more than 1 million vehicles.

Ford Mustang ushered in another update in 2015, the sixth generation of Ford Mustang was born, the car basically continued the shape of the previous generation, long front and short rear, "vertical bar" taillights, classic slip back, etc. all appeared on the car, the body size is 4794/1916/1373mm, the wheelbase is 2720mm, and the power is equipped with a 310hp turbocharged four-cylinder engine and a 460hp 5.0L V8 engine. Perhaps because of the performance of the market, Ford introduced the sixth-generation Ford Mustang to a broader market, including China. On November 17, 2014, Ford China announced that the sixth generation Ford Mustang will be officially launched in China in early 2015. this is also the first time that Ford has introduced the Mustang model to the Chinese market through official channels. In order to adapt to the laws and regulations of different regions, Ford even launched a right rudder version.

As Ford's classic sports car, if there is no accident, the new generation of Ford Mustang will continue to inherit the title of "best-selling" model after its launch. According to media reports, when the new generation of Ford Mustang launches, Ford will invite the previous six generations of Mustang owners to depart from Washington State to Detroit.
