The Ford Mustang is coming to Europe. The new Ford Mustang in Europe is packed full of practical, safe and fun Ford technology – learn about it all here. For more information visit http://mustang.ford.eu

The video "FORD MUSTANG TECHNOLOGY," published by Ford Europe, provides an overview of several advanced technological features integrated into the 2015 Ford Mustang.

Below is a detailed breakdown of the technologies discussed:

1. Line Lock

This feature is highlighted as the first time such a function has been built into a standard production car.

Purpose: It locks the front wheels while allowing the rear wheels to spin freely, primarily to assist in achieving optimal grip for quarter-mile races [00:22], [00:30].

Operation: Accessed via "Track Apps," the driver applies the brake once and releases it. Pressing the throttle then initiates wheel spin for approximately 15 seconds [00:36], [00:43].

2. Launch Control

Designed to provide the best possible traction during a standing start [00:55].

Customization: Drivers can adjust the engine idle speed between 3,000 and 4,500 RPM [00:55].

Operation: Activated through the "Track Apps" menu by simply ticking the box for Launch Control [01:11].

3. Glove Box Knee Airbag

ustry-first feature for the 2015 Mustang model [01:19].

Design: The airbag is positioned between the outer and inner parts of the glove box [01:26].

Function: In the event of an accident, the outer part of the glove box is pushed out, effectively protecting the passenger's knees [01:33].

4. Convertible Hood

A redesigned hood mechanism utilizing a three-layer cloth material [01:40], [01:48].

Advantages: This design offers superior noise isolation and allows for a faster, more streamlined folding process [01:56].

Operation: The driver unlocks the mechanism and presses a button, allowing the hood to fold away in a matter of seconds [02:03].

Summary of Track App Technologies

The following table summarizes the performance-related features managed through the Track Apps system:

Do the hardtop cars still leak in the rain like my new Mustang did

What they are not telling you is that the front 'gill' lamps will be DISABLED on the euro spec car. I cannot fathom how they can leave out such an iconic bit of the design. (Let alone selling you a car with some non-functioning lights)

Erwin Mulder ah ok, even the nice hood vents are gone in the euro version too......perhaps better import an "original" Mustang as we did it for decades instead buying this euro trash with white lamps ...LOL
