  • 2015 Ford Mustang

    It’s been a long wait since the covers came off the 2015 Ford Mustang last December, but now, finally, we’ve had some time behind the wheel. Whether it’s the base V-6, new EcoBoost model or V-8-powered GT, the new Mustang is no longer the entry-level, prosaic little pony car it once was. Ferrari went to great lengths to ensure its LaFerrari flagship only ended up in the hands of its most loyal customers, but a couple of the cars have already ended up on the used car market. The latest is a black example with zero—yes, zero—miles on the clock. It’s a shame...

It came down to the last mile of bad...

Never before seen details we can glean from the shots include the car’s scissor doors, headlights, and what appears to be its exhaust. The vehicle is definitely more of an...
