Only one car has consistently dominated the muscle-car marketplace and reinvented the genre with each new generation: the Ford Mustang. Since the Mustang marked the birth of the pony-car genre, there has been an annual battle for the muscle-car throne. Many American performance cars have come and gone. Some - such as Dodge Challenger and Chevrolet Camaro - have remained competitive, but only one has consistently dominated the marketplace and reinvented the genre with each new generation: the Ford Mustang. For nearly 50 years, Mustang has remained Ford's most distinctive and emotional presence on the streets and byways of America. To maintain its throne, Ford has developed an all-new Mustang for the 2015 model year to coincide with the legendary pony car's 50th anniversary, and Ford Mustang 2015 tells the inside story of the creation of this latest generation. Author John M. Clor, communications manager for Ford's Special Vehicle Team, offers a completely unrestricted view of the design and production process, including access to Ford's own imagery not available anywhere else. A necessary read for any Mustang enthusiast or muscle-car fan, Ford Mustang 2015 is your comprehensive guide to Ford's all-new, sixth-generation pony car.

Veteran journalist John Clor has owned, raced, worked on and written about Fords and Mustangs for nearly 40 years. After a 15-year career at The Detroit News, Clor shifted to automotive journalism with stints at AutoWeek and later Edmunds.com. He joined the Ford Special Vehicle Team in 1995 and spent the better part of the next decade working on SVT Communications, PR and Marketing. Since 2006 he's been managing Ford Racing's club outreach program and the "Enthusiasts" content on FordRacing.com. Clor is the author of the sold-out hardcover history book, Mustang Dynasty (2007 & 2009), editor of SVT Enthusiast magazine, and host of his own local cable-access TV show, "Cars In Context." He's also a member of several Ford-based car-clubs, and is the proud owner of two '70s era Mustangs, including one he calls "a long-term project."

The problem with some car books is that they are little more than expanded sales brochures. This one is much more. It has interviews with the engineers and Ford executives involved in creating this car, the problems they faced, and the market conditions. This book makes clear the thinking and rationale that went into the decisions designing this car. The book gives a brief history of the Mustang line, but that is not its main purpose. I was glad to see that it spends many more pages on the development of the 2015 Mustang; I already have several books on the history of the Mustang. There are also plenty of images showing some of the design ideas along the way as the car slowly took shape, and there are many interesting accounts about this process, including the decisions to build a right hand drive model for foreign markets, whether or not to have the V-6 return, and developing independent rear suspension across the line as standard equipment. There is much, much more in this book, but I won't spoil those surprises.

I was expecting a book focused on engineering details of the 2015 Mustang. This book includes too much overarching Mustang history and individual perspectives on Mustang, past and present - in my opinion. I wanted more of a book full of Dave Pericak, Kemal Curic and 2015 details, exploded views etc.

Many times books like this are primarily a bunch of pretty pictures without much "meat" to the text of the book. This book is VERY unlike that. John Clor took the time not only to thoroughly investigate the 6th Generation Mustang, but also the 1st through 5th Generation Mustangs as well. It is a GREAT read, well worth it and really in-depth "insider" knowledge of Ford and Ford Performance.

I was hoping for a little more story. There is a lot of "One Ford" and "globalization" mentioned. Not that that is a bad thing. Just got a little old. Good pictures of Mustangs - new and old

Great book. I really enjoyed reading the history of how my car came to be. Any Mustang fan will be glad to have this book in their collection.
