Leaked: Official 2015 Mustang photos that are more official than the last official photos

By Nick Jaynes Published December 3, 2013

What you see above are really, really the super serious images of the 2015 Ford Mustang … probably.

These low-res images were first posted on bb9786‘s Photobucket and they show an early delivery copy of the next Autoweek issue. The guy is getting early delivery of Autoweek but doesn’t have a decent camera phone? C’mon!

Yes, the images are surrounded by text but, sadly, we are unable to make out the copy, so we have no new specs for you to drool over.

Delightfully, the images do slightly differ from the previously leaked, ‘official’ Mustang renderings we’ve seen from the Internet’s tubes and from Car and Driver.

I have to say, this is the best-looking version yet – and one that most resembles the Ford Evos concept we have been long told would inspire the lines of the next-gen ‘Stang.

Want to know everything we know so far about the forthcoming pony car? Check out our Everything You Need To Know story … or just wait until Thursday morning when the official, simultaneous global unveiling takes place in Dearborn, Los Angeles, New York, Barcelona, Shanghai, and Sydney.

While I am absolutely in love with these images and cannot wait to drive the 2015 Mustang, I feel terrible for the men who accidentally sent this Autoweek to press a day early. I hope they had good savings … or at least bought Twitter stock.

This sleek Chinese EV pairs supercar styling with three AI brains

The Xpeng L03 is an AI supercomputer disguised as a stylish family SUV

Xpeng L03

Xpeng’s latest electric vehicle carries enough processing power to make the term "smart car" actually sound more realistic than it actually is. The new Xpeng L03 debuted simultaneously in Europe and China on July 16, with the company presenting it across 65 markets. Available as a fully electric vehicle and an L03 Power X range-extender, the coupe-SUV is Xpeng’s most internationally focused model so far. Market-specific prices and sales dates remain unannounced.

A new sodium battery posts wild four-minute charging numbers, but don’t expect it in an EV yet

The breakthrough could improve fast charging and battery life, but the study hasn’t demonstrated those results in a production-sized pack

EV Charger

A new sodium-metal battery has posted a charging number that makes today’s EVs look painfully slow. In laboratory testing, the cell operated at a 15C rate, equivalent to completing a charge or discharge in roughly four minutes.

That doesn’t mean researchers plugged in an electric car and watched it fill up before the driver finished buying coffee. The result came from a small experimental cell using a new quasi-solid electrolyte, while the larger pouch-cell prototype delivered far less dramatic performance.

The Apple Car may be dead, but it became the foundation of Apple Intelligence

A decade of work on a canceled car project reportedly laid the groundwork for Apple Intelligence.

Apple Intelligence in Apple Car

The Apple Car may have never left the garage, but it apparently gave birth to Apple's AI ambitions. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple's canceled autonomous vehicle project, one that consumed more than a decade of work and over $10 billion before being scrapped in 2024, ended up laying the technological foundation for Apple Intelligence. In a rather ironic twist, one of Apple's most expensive failures may also become one of its most important long-term investments.
