Doha: Ford Mustang fans around the Middle East can now see and test drive the all-new 2015 Ford Mustang (pictured) at their nearest Ford dealership, the company said in a statement yesterday. 
The latest model is loaded with innovative technologies, delivering high levels of performance and style, making the 2015 Mustang the next chapter in the life of one of the world’s most iconic cars. 
“Ford Mustang inspires passion like no other car,” said Kalyana Sivagnanam, the Marketing, Sales and Service director for Ford Middle East & North Africa.
“The visceral look, sound and performance of Mustang resonates with people across the region, even if they’ve never driven one. Mustang is definitely more than just a car — it is the heart and soul of Ford,” he said.
Mustang’s impact goes well beyond the 9 million-plus cars sold in its 50 years of continuous production. 
It has made thousands of appearances in film, television, music and video games, and is the world’s most-liked vehicle on Facebook. 
The way Mustang looks, drives and sounds is key to the visceral experience that makes drivers just want to get in the driver’s seat and hit the road. The Mustang is the first car to offer four-, six- and eight-cylinder engines that each produce at least 304 horsepower. With more powertrain options to choose from, there is a Mustang to fit any lifestyle. The 3.7-litre V6 and upgraded 5.0-litre V8 are joined by an all-new 2.3-litre EcoBoost engine that brings state-of-the-art technology to Mustang.
The engine uses direct injection, variable cam timing and turbo charging to deliver plenty of usable performance across a broad RPM range. A unique intake manifold and turbocharger housing enable it to deliver the performance Mustang drivers expect with 325 horsepower and 323 lb.-ft. of torque.
“This EcoBoost engine delivers where a Mustang driver expects it to, with a broad, flat torque curve that pours out when you stand on it for easy passing or hustling down a twisty road,” said Dave Pericak, Ford Mustang chief engineer. The Peninsula
