The 2015 Mustang GT should look by no means unfamiliar. It is decidedly a Mustang, and it carries many of the styling cues that enthusiasts have come to expect from the original pony car. From the tri-bar taillamps and shark-bite nose to the unmistakable hockey stick bodyline and the trapezoidal grille, the new boss is in many ways similar to the old boss.

As can be expected, there are a number of exterior options for the 2015 Mustang, not the least of which being the choice between the fastback and convertible body style. There are ten available colors—from classics like Black and Race Red to Triple Yellow and Competition Orange—and multiple wheel options for a more distinctive look. GT Premium models are also offered with a 50 Years Appearance Package, which adds luster nickel aluminum wheels; commemorative upper grille and gas cap badge; and chrome tail lamp surround.
