Spied: 2015 Ford Mustang caught testing with independent rear suspension

With the debut of the 2015 Ford Mustang coming in the next couple years it was only a matter of time before Ford would begin testing out prototypes. It looks like that time as come, as spy photographers have captured a 2015 Mustang prototype being tested out on public roads. To the untrained eye the car might look like a test mule based on the current 2013 model, but underneath the bodywork is hiding the chassis and suspension being developed for the next generation Mustang. The evidence is in the photos, which show off the new rear suspension setup for the very first time. The current S197 Mustang platform was initially tested with an independent rear suspension as well, but all reports indicate that the next generation Mustang will most definitely lose the solid rear axle.

With 2015 Mustang prototypes now out on the roads, expect to see more and more spy photos of the cars during testing. Hopefully sometime in the near future we’ll start to see development mules with some of the new bodywork, giving us an even better idea of what the 2015 Mustang will look like.

Head over to Car and Driver’s web site to read the full story and see more spy photos of the 2015 Mustang.

Glad to see its coming back, I just hope they build it stronger this time.

i don't see why. A SRA mustang handles just as well or better than camaros and challengers.

Not to mention all these idiots that insist on IRS don't even buy mustangs. Not to mention quite a lot of 'stangers that bought IRS cobras switched them to SRA anyway.

I guess it depends on what your intentions are. Bad for drag racing I guess, but as far as the SRA outhandling the Camaro and challenger, moot point considering the are both piece of **** underpowered tanks. On the road courses, the SRA Boss 302's are a joke at best. They should make it an option for SRA or IRS. That way you have a choice. It should have been that way starting in 99.

i totally agree there. then the people always bashing it for no IRS are happy, and the SRA lovers are happy

I love my IRS in the 03. I would never swap it to the SRA. I guess it does only run 11.70's but I can live with that from a car I drove there.

I wasn't real pleased with the IRS until I did the Full Tilt Boogie Racing bushing install. The wheel hop was totally eliminated and cornering on the throttle is very predictable. It's just a very different positive experience with those bushings.
