Always wanted a new Ford Mustang but were waiting for an independent rear suspension set up? Well, you’ve got a few more years to save your money, but according to recent reports fully-independent suspension will finally show up for the Mustang’s 50th Anniversary Party in 2014.

Apparently there are a few ways the Blue Oval could go with its next-gen pony car to help satisfy the demand for IRS, the most likely is a significantly revised version of the current Mustang platform with the recently unveiled 5.0-litre V8 ‘Coyote’ engine as the centerpiece. Other possible but less likely options include downsizing the Mustang and powering it with an Ecoboost V6 engine or, taking the car further upmarket to compete with the likes of the Nissan GT-R.

Despite the rampant speculation one thing many think won’t happen is the Mustang’s next-gen architecture being shared with any other models under Ford’s product umbrella. This will sadly include the Australian built Ford Falcon.

Whatever happens, Ford has a couple of years to sort it all out.
