Fifty years after its original debut at the New York World's Fair, Ford has launched the sixth-generation model of its iconic Mustang muscle car.
The stunning 2015 Ford Mustang will be on display in six cities worldwide on Thursday: Dearborn, Mich.; Sydney, Australia; New York; Los Angeles; Barcelona; and Shanghai. It will be the first Mustang model available for purchase in Europe and Asia.

The new Mustang has been redesigned, but keeps the long, sculpted hood and short rear deck in both its fastback and convertible models. Ford designed it to be reminiscent of the classic 1969 Mustang model.
New design features include a lower, wider stance with a reduction in roof height and wider rear fenders, as well as tri-bar tail lamps that jut outward with sequential turn signals. It also touts a modern version of its signature "shark bite" front and trapezoidal grille.
The latest version comes with a powerful V8 engine and a bevy of upgrades, including valve train and cylinder heads that bring 420 horsepower and 390 pound-feet of torque.

The engine also makes room for low-speed breathing to help with better fuel economy, stability and emissions. It uses direct injection, variable cam timing and turbocharging.
Mustang said drivers will feel smoother shifts from the updated manual gearbox.
