Gentlemen, start your wallets! 2015 Ford Mustang fastback orders start today

By Nick Jaynes May 20, 2014

Over the last several months, we’ve brought you virtually every imaginable detail of the forthcoming 2015 Ford Mustang, including details of its design, a deep dive into its engines, and rumors of forthcoming high performance models.

With that information blast, though, we’ve left out one significant factoid: price.

Delightfully, we can finally divulge that detail today: Officially going on sale today, the 2015 Ford Mustang fastback, powered by a 300-horsepower 3.7-liter V6, starts at $24,425, including destination and delivery charges.

For that money, you don’t just get the latest iteration of the world’s most iconic pony car, you also get a slew of standard features: Fully independent front and rear suspension for improved driving dynamics and ride quality, eight airbags including front, knee and side-impact protection for driver and front passenger, rearview camera system, leather-wrapped steering wheel with manual tilt and telescope adjustment, push-button start, SYNC connectivity system with next-generation AppLink to control smartphone apps with simple voice commands, a 4.2-inch color display and two USB ports, and a few other goodies.

Although Ford hasn’t announced pricing for the other models in the Mustang line, it has given us the official model names: Mustang EcoBoost (powered by a 305-hp 2.3-liter four-cylinder) and Mustang GT (with a 420-hp 5.0-liter V8). Both, it should be noted, are available in the limited 50 Years appearance package.

If you were hoping to plunk down an order for either of those mean machines today, hold on. Sadly, only the base Mustang fastback is up for order today. And you won’t be able to drive it away either. First deliveries of the 2015 ‘Stang don’t start until later this year.

2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E will offer Active Drive Assist hands-free driving tech

Ford Active Drive Assist

Ford is serious about making the 2021 Mustang Mach-E its most tech-forward vehicle to date. The electric crossover will inaugurate a technology named Active Drive Assist that will allow drivers to safely and legally take both hands off the steering wheel when the right conditions are met. It won't turn the Mach-E into an autonomous car, however.

Bundled into a suite of electronic driving aids named Co-Pilot360, Active Drive Assist is an evolution of adaptive cruise control with lane-centering designed to take over on divided highways. The system relies on cameras, radars, and sensors to scope out the road ahead, but Ford's approach to the technology is similar to Cadillac's because it only works on pre-mapped highways. This safety-first solution ensures the car knows exactly where there's a bend or a hill, but it also means motorists won't be able to use Active Drive Assist if they're traveling on a road that the technology doesn't know. Ford already mapped over 100,000 miles of highways in all 50 states and in Canada.

Mechanics will use Bosch’s VR tech to learn how to fix the Ford Mustang Mach-E

The electric Mustang Mach-E due out by the end of 2020 is Ford's most high-tech car to date, and the mechanics who will work on it will undergo a suitably futuristic training process. The company teamed up with Bosch to create a virtual reality-based training course to teach technicians how to keep the crossover in tip-top condition.

Instead of traveling to a workshop, mechanics will learn how the Mach-E's electric powertrain is put together using an Oculus Quest headset programmed with instructions. Bosch and Ford placed a major focus on the high-voltage electrical system, which was developed specifically for the model and isn't currently found in other cars. VR will teach technicians how to remove, diagnose, repair, and reinstall the lithium-ion battery pack, for example.

Ford can use your voice to make your car’s wheels theftproof

Ford is developing an interesting new process that should reduce the chance of you finding your car perched on a set of bricks with all of its wheels missing.

The American automaker says that overall improvements in vehicle security have prompted thieves to target car parts instead. Including those valuable alloy wheels. It says that while locking wheel nuts can offer some protection, they’re not invulnerable. With that in mind, it’s created a unique, 3D-printed locking wheel nut that features contours based on the driver’s voice.
