Regular readers of my blog know I am a huge Ford fan, and specifically in love with the Mustang.  So much so that I definitely made the decision to cart my two girls around in the back of my own V6 Mustang Coupe rather than trade it in for something more reasonable like the Ford Explorer.  I was invited to check out the 2015 Ford Fleet at the 2015 Canadian International Auto Show (CIAS) and I couldn’t be more excited to share with you a couple surprises as well as the Ford Mustangs you will see in 2015.  Read on for some eye candy!

The biggest news to come out of CIAS is undeniably Ford’s announcement of the 2017 Ford GT to be built in Markham, ON.   It features the first-ever Ford EcoBoost® twin-turbocharged, direct-injected 600 horsepower 3.5-litre V6 engine.   Translated: It’s fast.

 

Ford Shelby GT350R Mustang

The announcement of the Mustang Shelby GT350R Mustang is also huge.  It has been lightened with everything from the back seats to the A/C and radio removed to create a lighter and faster car.  Indeed this is a race-ready but street-legal Mustang featuring incredible engineering innovations that make it ideal on and off the track.

Ford also revealed the Ford F-150 Raptor with an available second-generation 3.5 litre EcoBoost® engine that combines fuel efficiency with the power you expect from an F-150. Truck aficionados will love that it  will feature a 10-speed automatic transmission.

The 2016 Ford Explorer is a must-see for families with roomy seating for 7, fuel efficiency and advanced technology with an available EcoBoost® Engine plus an all new Platinum series!

The GT made a name for itself in the 1960s, and the nameplate returned to Ford for the 2005 and 2006 models. Since then, the vehicle has truly evolved into a supercar, evident by it’s $100,000+ price tag. The company has made some changes to the third-generation GT, prioritizing handling and track capabilities in their 2017 model. The result? Not only one of Ford’s most impressive cars ever, but perhaps one of the most innovative cars to ever be released.

Nice coverage on the 2015 Mustangs. I have 66' GT350 Clone. Rare to find a Mustang enthusiast covering Mom things and automotive things equally well.

Thanks, glad you enjoyed this! It's nice to cover subjects I am really passionate about. Did you transform it yourself or buy it that way? My dad had a 1971 Mustang Mach 1 in Gold/Black but he got rid of it before I was born. I wish pretty much everyday that he had kept it!
