2015 Ford Mustang Convertible First Look:

If you have even a modicum of car passion inside of you then the arrival of the all-new 2015 Mustang has got you excited. But if your pony car fantasy also includes basking in the sunshine, don’t worry, Ford has you covered or should I say uncovered? The 2015 Mustang Convertible has been designed with an array of visual subtleties to further distinguish it from the coupe. The key component of the convertible is of course the top, and the Mustang’s full fabric outer layer and full inner headliner sandwich a thick insulation pad for a quieter ride. Lowering it is easier now too with a new center mounted single latch and a new drive system that raises and lowers the roof in half the time required previously. And because it sits almost 7” lower when folded, rear visibility is much improved. The new rear suspension also frees up trunk space – now larger by 19%, enough for 2 large golf bags. Just like the fastback, the Convertible benefits from the use of high strength steel and increased torsional rigidity to give the body a tighter feel when driven through the curves.
