Spy Photos: 2015 Mustang interior revealed
Source: MustangsDaily.com

Much of the speculation of the upcoming 2015 Mustang’s design has been about the exterior, although we’re perhaps just as curious about what Ford will do with the interior. With widespread speculation that the next generation will be a global vehicle, it’s likely that Ford will be designing the cockpit to appeal to a wider variety of international buyers. Undoubtedly Ford will make the interior less retro, as Ford’s lead designer, J Mays, has said the exterior will feature more futuristic styling.

Thankfully we don’t have to wait anymore to get our first look at the inside of the 2015 Mustang, as InsideLine.com’s spy photographers have managed to get images of the interior of an engineering test mule. Perhaps most noticeable is the new multi-function steering wheel with MyFord Touch, and a new instrument panel similar to the 2013 F-150′s can also be seen. Keep in mind that plenty of changes could be made before the design if finalized, and Inside Line does point out that it’s impossible to say whether these new elements will actually be used or if Ford is simply testing out the new components. One thing for sure is that technology will certainly play a larger part in the next generation Mustang.

Aside from navigation, sync and all the cool new track apps - how much more technology do you need in a Mustang? They are so focused on the One World idea and aiming for BMW's audience (good luck with that) that they are forgetting what a Mustang is and who buys them. And their marketing over the last couple years has been abysmal. This is why the Camaro has consistently been beating Mustang sales. Now they want us to think the Mustang is a 45 to 60 thousand dollar car or more. It isn't. How much will Mustangs cost in 2015? That is maybe the more important question than what the interior will look like.

Also, remember what happened when they went after the BMW market with the SVO....

I have mixed feelings about loading the Mustang with gadgets and technology. Yes they are cool, but the Mustang is supposed to be a simpleton, the blue collar muscle car that doesn't need or want all the space age gadgets of a Ferrari or BMW. I just don't want to lose the connection to the roots of American Muscle, that is cheap, fast, and powerful cars for the average Joe.

This is just an engineering protoype which requires certain modules for the ECU to function correctly. The steering wheel, and center console are most likely not even close to production pieces. The center console is from the 2013 F150, and the steering wheels is an Escape steering wheel. Something else that is interesting is that this car actually features a new IRS which is not related to Ford's typical control blade IRS as used in the Falcon. It appears to be engineered for significant power so I assume that the rumors that the current S197's will carry over into the new car are true.

Looks too busy I'm not sure about it.
