(car whooshing)
2
00:00:03,810 --> 00:00:06,693
- [Narrator] The machine
ushers in a new automotive era,
3
00:00:07,650 --> 00:00:10,263
the name becomes the
bestselling vehicle of its day.
4
00:00:11,940 --> 00:00:14,005
For almost five decades,
5
00:00:14,005 --> 00:00:16,560
it is brought to life across America.
6
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:18,900
- [Man] The Mustang is a very unique car.
7
00:00:18,900 --> 00:00:22,230
There are very few nameplates
out there in the car world
8
00:00:22,230 --> 00:00:26,687
that have survived a
decade, much less five.
9
00:00:26,687 --> 00:00:29,270
(upbeat music)
10
00:00:30,815 --> 00:00:31,648
(car engine roaring)
(upbeat music)
11
00:00:31,648 --> 00:00:34,020
- [Narrator] It's a badge
that coins a simple phrase,
12
00:00:34,020 --> 00:00:35,820
- It's America's pony car.
13
00:00:35,820 --> 00:00:37,500
- The current generation
has been in production
14
00:00:37,500 --> 00:00:39,003
for over a decade.
15
00:00:40,350 --> 00:00:41,853
Technology has advanced,
16
00:00:42,900 --> 00:00:45,440
competitors are ready to take its place.
17
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:47,070
(car engine roaring)
(upbeat music)
18
00:00:47,070 --> 00:00:49,383
Ford needs a new machine.
19
00:00:50,730 --> 00:00:53,340
- Mustang is Ford's halo product.
20
00:00:53,340 --> 00:00:55,080
It is the product that shows everyone
21
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,713
what the team at Ford
is capable of building.
22
00:00:57,713 --> 00:00:59,220
(car engine roaring)
23
00:00:59,220 --> 00:01:00,300
- [Narrator] The rush is on to build
24
00:01:00,300 --> 00:01:02,970
the most important Mustang ever.
25
00:01:02,970 --> 00:01:07,200
A 50th anniversary machine
intended to go global
26
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:08,580
for the very first time.
27
00:01:08,580 --> 00:01:10,470
- Anytime you're doing a new Mustang,
28
00:01:10,470 --> 00:01:12,120
there's always a very big fear
29
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:13,770
that you're going to alienate people,
30
00:01:13,770 --> 00:01:15,900
that you're gonna do something wrong.
31
00:01:15,900 --> 00:01:17,650
- [Narrator] This is an inside look
32
00:01:19,350 --> 00:01:23,133
as the clock ticks to
reinvent the Ford Mustang.
33
00:01:24,818 --> 00:01:29,818
(car engine roaring)
(upbeat music)
34
00:01:36,285 --> 00:01:39,471
(upbeat music)
35
00:01:39,471 --> 00:01:42,054
(mellow music)
36
00:01:43,530 --> 00:01:45,960
For over a hundred years,
the Ford Motor Company
37
00:01:45,960 --> 00:01:48,933
has been building motorized
vehicles for the masses.
38
00:01:50,970 --> 00:01:53,043
The story starts with the Model T,
39
00:01:53,970 --> 00:01:56,343
the world's first affordable automobile,
40
00:01:58,950 --> 00:02:01,530
then the F-150 pickup truck,
41
00:02:01,530 --> 00:02:04,290
the best selling vehicle
in the United States
42
00:02:04,290 --> 00:02:06,570
for the past 37 years.
43
00:02:06,570 --> 00:02:11,280
And finally, the Mustang, the
world's very first pony car.
44
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,890
- The Mustang is such an iconic car.
45
00:02:13,890 --> 00:02:17,670
It's so connected to people's
ideas of the country.
46
00:02:17,670 --> 00:02:19,120
You know, our national pride.
47
00:02:20,820 --> 00:02:23,820
- [Narrator] Introduced on
the 17th of April, 1964,
48
00:02:23,820 --> 00:02:25,860
at the New York World's Fair.
49
00:02:25,860 --> 00:02:27,451
The first generation Mustang
50
00:02:27,451 --> 00:02:30,870
immediately captivates the audience.
51
00:02:30,870 --> 00:02:32,400
- The history of the car itself
52
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,470
and what it meant to the country,
53
00:02:34,470 --> 00:02:37,413
it really epitomizes this
sort of optimism of the 60s.
54
00:02:38,550 --> 00:02:41,520
- [Narrator] The car
is an instant sensation
55
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:45,990
selling 22,000 units the very
first day it goes on sale.
56
00:02:45,990 --> 00:02:46,980
A year and a half later,
57
00:02:46,980 --> 00:02:49,923
the 1000000th machine rolls off the line
58
00:02:49,923 --> 00:02:52,530
(camera clicking)
59
00:02:52,530 --> 00:02:55,320
shattering sales records for the time.
60
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,870
- It was clearly the right
car for the right time,
61
00:02:57,870 --> 00:03:00,020
or it would've never
sold in those numbers.
62
00:03:02,100 --> 00:03:05,130
Today's bestselling cars
don't come close to the volume
63
00:03:05,130 --> 00:03:07,880
that the Mustang had in its
first year, not even close.
64
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,010
- [Narrator] Over the past 50 years,
65
00:03:11,010 --> 00:03:15,330
Ford sells just over 8 million Mustangs.
66
00:03:15,330 --> 00:03:17,610
- This was a car that a
secretary could drive,
67
00:03:17,610 --> 00:03:20,260
or an executive could drive,
or your mom could drive.
68
00:03:21,570 --> 00:03:23,220
- [Narrator] But the fifth
generation of the machine
69
00:03:23,220 --> 00:03:25,563
has been in production for nine years,
70
00:03:27,397 --> 00:03:28,380
(tires screeching)
71
00:03:28,380 --> 00:03:30,960
an eternity in the automotive world.
72
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,480
To keep customers coming
back to showroom floors,
73
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,750
Ford needs to rejuvenate the Stang.
74
00:03:36,750 --> 00:03:39,690
- The Mustang is so tied to the company
75
00:03:39,690 --> 00:03:42,966
that messing up that is just
as damaging in the public's eye
76
00:03:42,966 --> 00:03:45,243
as screwing up a mainstream model.
77
00:03:47,700 --> 00:03:49,674
- [Narrator] Not screwing up the legend
78
00:03:49,674 --> 00:03:54,630
falls on the shoulders of
just one man, Dave Pericak.
79
00:03:54,630 --> 00:03:56,010
- He's probably gonna
hit me for saying this,
80
00:03:56,010 --> 00:03:57,120
but he's a little nuts.
81
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,340
Then there are just the
dudes who wanna build the car
82
00:03:59,340 --> 00:04:01,770
that they wanted to have
when they were 25 years old
83
00:04:01,770 --> 00:04:03,840
doing burnouts in front
of the police station
84
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:05,910
to drive everyone crazy, that's Dave.
85
00:04:05,910 --> 00:04:09,120
- [Narrator] Pericak has
led Team Mustang since 2008
86
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,333
and is the fifth chief engineer
for the pony car platform.
87
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,430
- I think everybody waits for
the day that you get the call
88
00:04:17,430 --> 00:04:18,980
to be the next guy for Mustang.
89
00:04:19,860 --> 00:04:20,693
It was almost surreal.
90
00:04:20,693 --> 00:04:22,230
It was almost something that I
didn't believe was happening,
91
00:04:22,230 --> 00:04:24,230
but it was definitely a dream come true.
92
00:04:25,650 --> 00:04:29,020
- [Narrator] A dream come
true that has a major deadline
93
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,213
and just 1,460 days to get it done.
94
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,060
- Knowing that the 50th
anniversary is coming up,
95
00:04:39,060 --> 00:04:41,310
the planning started and so
I've been here since day one
96
00:04:41,310 --> 00:04:43,260
on the planning of the Gen six Mustang.
97
00:04:45,300 --> 00:04:46,410
- [Narrator] Lots of cars are filled......
98
00:04:46,410 --> 00:04:48,243
as groundbreaking machines.
99
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,663
The sixth generation actually could be.
100
00:04:53,940 --> 00:04:57,633
It's the first Stang planned
to be a global platform.
101
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,170
- We decided early on to take it global
102
00:05:03,180 --> 00:05:05,490
as a dedication that we
were gonna make to the brand
103
00:05:05,490 --> 00:05:07,890
and to the company, the
world's been ready for us.
104
00:05:07,890 --> 00:05:09,690
They wanted Mustang for a long time.
105
00:05:11,730 --> 00:05:13,140
The world is watching this car,
106
00:05:13,140 --> 00:05:14,587
so just laying awake
at night and thinking,
107
00:05:14,587 --> 00:05:16,424
"Did we get that right? Do
we need to do more of this?
108
00:05:16,424 --> 00:05:18,450
Do we have to change this."
109
00:05:18,450 --> 00:05:19,560
- [Narrator] Planning the new machine
110
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:21,990
starts with a single team meeting.
111
00:05:21,990 --> 00:05:23,880
- The first meeting is
realizing what are the goals?
112
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:25,590
What are we trying to achieve with it?
113
00:05:25,590 --> 00:05:28,170
I wanna make sure that
everything will be available
114
00:05:28,170 --> 00:05:30,270
at the dealership before the cars arrive.
115
00:05:30,270 --> 00:05:32,550
- Head designer Moray Callum is the man
116
00:05:32,550 --> 00:05:35,633
who determines the look and
feel of the new machine.
117
00:05:35,633 --> 00:05:38,070
- I think we all can sense pretty much
118
00:05:38,070 --> 00:05:40,680
that we wanted to do a really special car.
119
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,320
We wanted to do something that
the people would recognize
120
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:44,793
and people would appreciate.
121
00:05:45,840 --> 00:05:48,780
- [Narrator] He's not only
a custodian for the stang,
122
00:05:48,780 --> 00:05:50,583
but a guardian for the brand.
123
00:05:52,230 --> 00:05:54,360
- It's amazing how much interest
there was in the Mustang
124
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,100
in terms of where the design was going
125
00:05:56,100 --> 00:05:57,870
and how it would evolved.
126
00:05:57,870 --> 00:06:00,220
If you screw that up,
you screw the company up.
127
00:06:01,470 --> 00:06:03,210
- [Narrator] With the 50th
anniversary celebration
128
00:06:03,210 --> 00:06:04,713
less than four years away,
129
00:06:06,420 --> 00:06:09,090
the design team doesn't have a lot of time
130
00:06:09,090 --> 00:06:11,433
to nail the look of the new machine.
131
00:06:14,310 --> 00:06:16,320
- Imagine if it made the
Mustang that everybody hated.
132
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,810
It's a lot of weight for
anybody dealing with a car
133
00:06:18,810 --> 00:06:21,710
that's been around so long and
it means so much to people.
134
00:06:24,369 --> 00:06:28,450
(mellow music)
(camera clicking)
135
00:06:28,450 --> 00:06:31,590
(mellow music)
136
00:06:31,590 --> 00:06:33,603
- Mustang is the brand builder for Ford.
137
00:06:35,070 --> 00:06:38,010
This is the car that
enthusiasts think of first
138
00:06:38,010 --> 00:06:39,090
when they think Ford.
139
00:06:39,090 --> 00:06:40,200
- [Narrator] In the automotive world,
140
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:44,220
iconic machines rarely stray
from proven identities,
141
00:06:44,220 --> 00:06:46,980
but Ford needs a striking new machine
142
00:06:46,980 --> 00:06:48,671
to captivate younger car fans.
143
00:06:48,671 --> 00:06:50,580
(engine roaring)
144
00:06:50,580 --> 00:06:53,580
Yet the company can't mess up a formula
145
00:06:53,580 --> 00:06:55,383
that's worked for 50 years.
146
00:06:57,210 --> 00:06:59,700
- Mustangs had its periods
of being consistent
147
00:06:59,700 --> 00:07:01,620
to its origins and then
it's sort drifted away
148
00:07:01,620 --> 00:07:02,820
and come back again.
149
00:07:02,820 --> 00:07:04,803
So then it has really adapted the time.
150
00:07:06,870 --> 00:07:09,540
- There's really actually
a great deal of variation
151
00:07:09,540 --> 00:07:11,460
over the years in what they've looked like
152
00:07:11,460 --> 00:07:13,650
between the 60s, the
70s, the 80s especially,
153
00:07:13,650 --> 00:07:15,150
and now the 90s and the 2000s.
154
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,450
- [Narrator] One of the
keys to the car's longevity
155
00:07:18,450 --> 00:07:21,720
has been its ability to transform
156
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:23,373
alongside American culture.
157
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,723
Like a true democracy, the
Mustang morphs over time.
158
00:07:28,710 --> 00:07:30,810
- You can kind of identify the decade,
159
00:07:30,810 --> 00:07:32,790
the era by the Mustang.
160
00:07:32,790 --> 00:07:35,204
It's changed with American culture.
161
00:07:35,204 --> 00:07:36,720
(car whooshing)
162
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:38,670
- [Narrator] It's a culture
that continues to influence
163
00:07:38,670 --> 00:07:40,410
the current Mustang design team.
164
00:07:40,410 --> 00:07:42,030
- The good thing about Mustang is,
165
00:07:42,030 --> 00:07:44,250
you don't need to write
a big long design brief.
166
00:07:44,250 --> 00:07:47,010
You just tell the designers
go and sketch Mustangs
167
00:07:47,010 --> 00:07:49,060
and they come back with some great ideas.
168
00:07:50,130 --> 00:07:54,240
- [Narrator] Great ideas
often start in the past.
169
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,010
- We looked back in the history book
170
00:07:56,010 --> 00:07:59,050
that really gave us a rich
heritage of design cues
171
00:08:00,900 --> 00:08:02,760
really beginning with the face of Mustang
172
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,223
of what we call a Shark Bite Grille.
173
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,420
So you kinda get this
little play on heritage.
174
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:11,310
- Well, one of the things we
wanted to really do in this car
175
00:08:11,310 --> 00:08:12,993
was bring back the true Fastback.
176
00:08:15,990 --> 00:08:17,190
So we really have got a great
177
00:08:17,190 --> 00:08:19,620
center line profile to the car.
178
00:08:19,620 --> 00:08:21,630
- [Narrator] However, to
continue to be relevant,
179
00:08:21,630 --> 00:08:24,723
the world's first pony
car needs to evolve.
180
00:08:27,625 --> 00:08:28,547
(air whooshing)
181
00:08:28,547 --> 00:08:31,260
(mellow music)
182
00:08:31,260 --> 00:08:33,330
- We wanted to make a cleaner statement
183
00:08:33,330 --> 00:08:36,390
and give the design a
little more timelessness.
184
00:08:36,390 --> 00:08:39,000
- This is a car with a lot
of pent up lust for it,
185
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,340
and people want to know what
this mustang's gonna look like.
186
00:08:41,340 --> 00:08:43,110
So quite frankly, you're damned if you do
187
00:08:43,110 --> 00:08:44,903
and you're damned if you don't sometimes.
188
00:08:46,680 --> 00:08:49,860
The studio is pretty tense in the air.
189
00:08:49,860 --> 00:08:51,810
- [Narrator] That tension
comes from having to please
190
00:08:51,810 --> 00:08:54,390
two different markets at the same time.
191
00:08:54,390 --> 00:08:56,790
A year before the design process begins,
192
00:08:56,790 --> 00:08:59,400
Ford conducts market research on attitudes
193
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:01,590
about Mustang around the world.
194
00:09:01,590 --> 00:09:04,417
US customers want a tougher Stang.
195
00:09:04,417 --> 00:09:07,020
(car whooshing)
196
00:09:07,020 --> 00:09:10,173
While European consumers want
a smoother looking machine.
197
00:09:11,670 --> 00:09:14,433
The solution comes down
to basic dimensions.
198
00:09:16,110 --> 00:09:20,070
The team starts putting pen
to paper just over 1200 days
199
00:09:20,070 --> 00:09:22,410
before the 50th anniversary deadline.
200
00:09:22,410 --> 00:09:23,700
- We've really worked in the proportions.
201
00:09:23,700 --> 00:09:26,190
We've pulled the A pillars
back, we made the hood longer.
202
00:09:26,190 --> 00:09:28,919
We made the car wider,
enhancing the stance of the car.
203
00:09:28,919 --> 00:09:31,500
- It really just helps to
give a very hunkered down,
204
00:09:31,500 --> 00:09:33,678
assertive proportion.
205
00:09:33,678 --> 00:09:35,280
(dramatic music)
206
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:36,840
So as we begin our design process,
207
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,720
we always iterate with
numerous design sketches.
208
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,330
This board shows the small fraction
209
00:09:42,330 --> 00:09:44,763
of all the design work
that we've generated.
210
00:09:46,020 --> 00:09:47,190
This was one of the first sketches
211
00:09:47,190 --> 00:09:49,710
that really kind of captured the feel
212
00:09:49,710 --> 00:09:52,593
of this very modern front end for Mustang.
213
00:09:54,220 --> 00:09:59,220
(car whooshing)
(mellow music)
214
00:10:00,377 --> 00:10:02,280
It really has this nice tapering quality
215
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:06,780
from the very strong muscular
shoulder over the rear wheel,
216
00:10:06,780 --> 00:10:10,443
kind of really portray this
muscular quality in Mustang.
217
00:10:12,660 --> 00:10:15,720
- [Narrator] The muscular
personality starts to come to life
218
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:17,943
thanks to a classic artistic medium.
219
00:10:19,860 --> 00:10:23,490
- Well, the initial step is
getting the car down on paper.
220
00:10:23,490 --> 00:10:25,455
So you talk to designers,
say "Sketch a mustang."
221
00:10:25,455 --> 00:10:26,550
You got a lot of enthusiasm,
222
00:10:26,550 --> 00:10:28,262
you got a lot of different ideas.
223
00:10:28,262 --> 00:10:29,212
(indistinct)
Yeah.
224
00:10:31,110 --> 00:10:32,881
Then we go into a scale model phase.
225
00:10:32,881 --> 00:10:35,464
(mellow music)
226
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:40,222
We then do a range of scale models
227
00:10:40,222 --> 00:10:42,180
and then these scale models
we'll eventually pick
228
00:10:42,180 --> 00:10:44,327
two or three and go to full size clays.
229
00:10:44,327 --> 00:10:49,327
(dramatic music)
(machine humming)
230
00:11:01,350 --> 00:11:04,383
- [Narrator] The full scale
clay is no ordinary model.
231
00:11:06,180 --> 00:11:08,823
It's handcrafted by a master modeler.
232
00:11:18,870 --> 00:11:21,790
He will spend hours getting
a single line just right
233
00:11:29,610 --> 00:11:32,853
and weeks working the
clay until it's perfect.
234
00:11:37,560 --> 00:11:39,450
- Then eventually we'll pick the right car
235
00:11:39,450 --> 00:11:40,350
for the next stage
236
00:11:40,350 --> 00:11:42,150
and we'll build different types of models,
237
00:11:42,150 --> 00:11:44,598
both the interior and
the exterior of that.
238
00:11:44,598 --> 00:11:47,181
(upbeat music)
239
00:11:49,020 --> 00:11:50,190
- [Narrator] Once the clay is dry,
240
00:11:50,190 --> 00:11:53,493
it's time to see how the
new machine bends light.
241
00:11:56,190 --> 00:11:59,253
They use a reflective wrap
to quickly color the car.
242
00:12:12,224 --> 00:12:16,891
- Then we go to various hard
models like this model here
243
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,030
and then in what we call an
inside outside model here,
244
00:12:21,030 --> 00:12:23,880
and that's really the time
where the big money gets spent
245
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:24,907
and someone signs a check, says,
246
00:12:24,907 --> 00:12:26,178
"Yeah, we're gonna go for it."
247
00:12:26,178 --> 00:12:28,845
(car whooshing)
248
00:12:29,850 --> 00:12:32,370
- [Narrator] Utilizing
classical artistic mediums,
249
00:12:32,370 --> 00:12:35,733
it takes the team a year
to dial in the final shape.
250
00:12:36,660 --> 00:12:38,910
But with just over 700 days left
251
00:12:38,910 --> 00:12:41,190
before the 50th anniversary,
252
00:12:41,190 --> 00:12:43,720
Team Mustang needs some cutting edge tech
253
00:12:44,910 --> 00:12:46,469
to hit their deadline.
254
00:12:46,469 --> 00:12:49,219
(dramatic music)
255
00:12:50,730 --> 00:12:54,180
The pressure to finalize
the new 2015 Mustang
256
00:12:54,180 --> 00:12:56,913
is mounting for Dave Pericak and his team.
257
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:04,383
Every second and every
computer chip cycle counts.
258
00:13:07,530 --> 00:13:10,620
Deep inside the Ford Design
Center in a hidden area
259
00:13:10,620 --> 00:13:14,910
there's a brave new world
being born one pixel at a time.
260
00:13:14,910 --> 00:13:16,530
- We are in the virtual space
261
00:13:16,530 --> 00:13:18,690
of the Ford Immersive vehicle environment.
262
00:13:18,690 --> 00:13:20,730
Even though there looks
like there's nothing here,
263
00:13:20,730 --> 00:13:24,333
there's actually a 2015
Mustang in this room.
264
00:13:25,563 --> 00:13:29,130
(machine beeping)
265
00:13:29,130 --> 00:13:30,060
- [Narrator] The high tech room
266
00:13:30,060 --> 00:13:31,960
features motion tracking cameras
267
00:13:36,300 --> 00:13:38,343
that connect to a 3D headset,
268
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,663
which can interact with a virtual world.
269
00:13:46,617 --> 00:13:48,930
(dramatic music)
270
00:13:48,930 --> 00:13:52,560
The 3D system allows Ford to
bring the new machine to life
271
00:13:52,560 --> 00:13:54,723
before a single car is ever built.
272
00:14:01,410 --> 00:14:03,390
- We're looking at the vehicle
273
00:14:03,390 --> 00:14:05,463
in a bunch of different iterations.
274
00:14:06,724 --> 00:14:09,090
It really brings that spreadsheet to life.
275
00:14:09,090 --> 00:14:12,423
It goes way beyond just
looking at PowerPoints.
276
00:14:13,950 --> 00:14:16,200
- [Narrator] The digital system
gives engineers the ability
277
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,963
to look inside a full size machine.
278
00:14:20,340 --> 00:14:22,110
- We can cut this vehicle in half
279
00:14:22,110 --> 00:14:24,933
and we can actually look at
the engineering structure.
280
00:14:26,220 --> 00:14:27,060
There we go,
281
00:14:27,060 --> 00:14:29,820
and I can actually look at
the engineering structure
282
00:14:29,820 --> 00:14:31,443
with respect to the design.
283
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:33,660
- [Narrator] The structure might start
284
00:14:33,660 --> 00:14:36,510
deep inside a computer
with ones and zeros,
285
00:14:36,510 --> 00:14:40,080
but as the deadline to the
50th anniversary grows tighter,
286
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:41,730
the only number that matters
287
00:14:41,730 --> 00:14:44,283
is the Stang's planned top speed.
288
00:14:45,330 --> 00:14:49,920
An electronically limited
264 kilometers per hour.
289
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,893
While the virtual environment
lives on the bleeding edge,
290
00:14:53,940 --> 00:14:56,740
the most important
advance for generation six
291
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,543
is actually a rather old technology.
292
00:15:02,004 --> 00:15:04,170
(car whooshing)
293
00:15:04,170 --> 00:15:05,420
- Early on, we talked about the fact
294
00:15:05,420 --> 00:15:07,140
it was time to put an
independent rear suspension
295
00:15:07,140 --> 00:15:08,310
in this car was something that we circled
296
00:15:08,310 --> 00:15:10,530
and said "We have to do it."
297
00:15:10,530 --> 00:15:12,270
- The Mustang's been a solid rear axle
298
00:15:12,270 --> 00:15:14,020
for as long as anyone can remember,
299
00:15:15,930 --> 00:15:17,318
pretty much since the day it was made.
300
00:15:17,318 --> 00:15:20,040
(mellow music)
301
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:21,300
- [Narrator] A solid rear axle
302
00:15:21,300 --> 00:15:24,210
is a dependent suspension
design where a set of wheels
303
00:15:24,210 --> 00:15:26,733
is connected laterally by a single beam.
304
00:15:27,630 --> 00:15:29,790
It's a time-tested engineering solution
305
00:15:29,790 --> 00:15:32,910
that's cost effective
because of its simplicity.
306
00:15:32,910 --> 00:15:35,670
- When you have a solid rear
axle, one wheel goes up,
307
00:15:35,670 --> 00:15:37,140
the other one wants to go down,
308
00:15:37,140 --> 00:15:39,390
which means the car
doesn't do well in bumps,
309
00:15:39,390 --> 00:15:40,593
especially in corners.
310
00:15:44,190 --> 00:15:45,690
- [Narrator] An
independent rear suspension
311
00:15:45,690 --> 00:15:47,310
is a more complicated system
312
00:15:47,310 --> 00:15:49,800
that allows each wheel on the same axle
313
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:51,690
to move freely from the other.
314
00:15:51,690 --> 00:15:53,940
- All it means is that
the two wheels in the back
315
00:15:53,940 --> 00:15:56,340
can move in different
directions at the same time.
316
00:15:56,340 --> 00:15:59,550
One can go up without the other
one necessarily going down.
317
00:15:59,550 --> 00:16:01,350
- [Narrator] Even considering the change
318
00:16:01,350 --> 00:16:03,840
causes commotion in the Mustang community.
319
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:06,360
- In the World of Mustang,
there are two camps.
320
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:07,737
There is a solid rear axle camp
321
00:16:07,737 --> 00:16:09,737
and an independent rear suspension camp.
322
00:16:11,128 --> 00:16:14,060
(car tires screeching)
323
00:16:14,060 --> 00:16:16,800
- [Narrator] In 1965,
the original Mustang team
324
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,833
intended to use an
independent rear suspension,
325
00:16:20,940 --> 00:16:23,340
but accountants determined
that they could save
326
00:16:23,340 --> 00:16:27,993
100 US dollars per car if they
chose a solid axle instead.
327
00:16:28,860 --> 00:16:31,620
- To keep the price point
of that car where it was,
328
00:16:31,620 --> 00:16:34,070
they were gonna have to
pull money out somewhere.
329
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:36,960
Having a solid rear axle has enabled
330
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:38,970
the Mustang to stay inexpensive.
331
00:16:38,970 --> 00:16:40,650
- [Narrator] On the
track, the solid rear axle
332
00:16:40,650 --> 00:16:43,710
helps the machine gain a
following on the drag strip.
333
00:16:43,710 --> 00:16:47,670
Burnouts become a way of
life the pony car crowd,
334
00:16:47,670 --> 00:16:50,070
but no matter how much rubber you burn,
335
00:16:50,070 --> 00:16:52,350
time doesn't stand still.
336
00:16:52,350 --> 00:16:54,210
Since then, the simple system
337
00:16:54,210 --> 00:16:56,133
has become part of the car's ethos.
338
00:16:58,387 --> 00:16:59,955
(car whooshing)
339
00:16:59,955 --> 00:17:02,538
(upbeat music)
340
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:06,660
The Mustang is the last sports car
341
00:17:06,660 --> 00:17:10,443
with a solid rear axle setup, until now.
342
00:17:11,989 --> 00:17:13,977
- We really wanted to make
it a legitimate sports car
343
00:17:13,977 --> 00:17:17,220
and we didn't want it to be
seen as a sort of neanderthal
344
00:17:17,220 --> 00:17:19,132
sort of old time muscle car.
345
00:17:19,132 --> 00:17:20,626
(car whooshing)
346
00:17:20,626 --> 00:17:21,720
- The car can ride a lot better
347
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,228
and handle better at the same time.
348
00:17:24,228 --> 00:17:26,811
(upbeat music)
349
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:30,420
The drawbacks are a big amount of weight
350
00:17:30,420 --> 00:17:31,890
and a big amount of cost,
351
00:17:31,890 --> 00:17:34,740
and for the longest time it
just wasn't worth doing that.
352
00:17:36,894 --> 00:17:41,790
(car whooshing)
(upbeat music)
353
00:17:41,790 --> 00:17:44,100
Having the Mustang now sold worldwide,
354
00:17:44,100 --> 00:17:45,900
all of a sudden it needed to happen.
355
00:17:47,580 --> 00:17:50,093
- Can be 50 years too late,
but it's the right thing.
356
00:17:51,007 --> 00:17:53,130
(car whooshing)
(upbeat music)
357
00:17:53,130 --> 00:17:55,230
- [Narrator] The decision to
modernize the rear suspension
358
00:17:55,230 --> 00:17:58,600
on the Gen-six Mustang comes
down to a simple conversation
359
00:17:59,700 --> 00:18:02,580
with one very important man.
360
00:18:02,580 --> 00:18:03,423
- Mr. Ford.
361
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:09,030
Well, when we decide on
things like a new front end,
362
00:18:09,030 --> 00:18:10,080
ultimately we have to go to Bill
363
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,630
because Bill's a part of
the board of directors.
364
00:18:12,630 --> 00:18:16,080
- [Narrator] Bill is Bill Ford Jr.,
365
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:19,230
the executive chairman
of Ford Motor Company
366
00:18:19,230 --> 00:18:21,363
and the great grandson of Henry Ford.
367
00:18:22,230 --> 00:18:24,660
In the automotive world he's a rarity
368
00:18:24,660 --> 00:18:26,760
because he's the last automotive scion
369
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:29,283
whose name is still on
the side of the building.
370
00:18:31,380 --> 00:18:32,813
- Bill definitely gets involved.
371
00:18:32,813 --> 00:18:35,550
He loves Mustangs, he
understands what this car means
372
00:18:35,550 --> 00:18:37,823
to the company and what
it means to his family.
373
00:18:38,670 --> 00:18:40,620
It makes my job a bit
easier when I go in there
374
00:18:40,620 --> 00:18:42,840
and try to have a discussion
about a new suspension system
375
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,483
or a new front end, they support me.
376
00:18:47,340 --> 00:18:48,690
- [Narrator] While the
independent suspension
377
00:18:48,690 --> 00:18:50,103
helps get around the corner,
378
00:18:51,690 --> 00:18:54,360
it also puts Team Mustang in a bind.
379
00:18:54,360 --> 00:18:57,110
(dramatic music)
380
00:18:58,410 --> 00:18:59,880
- As we put the rear suspension in,
381
00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:00,900
we didn't have an intention
382
00:19:00,900 --> 00:19:02,800
to change the front suspension at all.
383
00:19:03,670 --> 00:19:04,693
(car whooshing)
(dramatic music)
384
00:19:04,693 --> 00:19:08,550
(dramatic music)
(car whooshing)
385
00:19:08,550 --> 00:19:09,960
The first time we took
the car out for a ride,
386
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:11,910
it was very obvious that
the rear was outperforming
387
00:19:11,910 --> 00:19:13,770
the front and it was noticeable.
388
00:19:13,770 --> 00:19:16,290
I mean it just wasn't gonna keep up.
389
00:19:16,290 --> 00:19:17,850
- [Narrator] The 50th anniversary target
390
00:19:17,850 --> 00:19:22,110
is less than two years away,
but it only takes Team Mustang
391
00:19:22,110 --> 00:19:25,020
10 minutes to confirm their worst fears.
392
00:19:25,020 --> 00:19:27,300
In order to get the new Stang right,
393
00:19:27,300 --> 00:19:29,910
they need to hit the brakes hard.
394
00:19:29,910 --> 00:19:31,020
- The bosses don't like to hear it.
395
00:19:31,020 --> 00:19:32,340
If this car is important enough,
396
00:19:32,340 --> 00:19:34,350
yeah, you can throw a stop in
the middle of the whole thing
397
00:19:34,350 --> 00:19:36,510
and say, "We need to go back and fix this.
398
00:19:36,510 --> 00:19:38,110
We haven't done it well enough."
399
00:19:39,630 --> 00:19:40,560
- [Narrator] As the days pass
400
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:42,570
until the new Mustang's launch,
401
00:19:42,570 --> 00:19:45,423
the engineering U-turn
causes drastic changes.
402
00:19:46,380 --> 00:19:47,587
- We went back to the
drawing board and said,
403
00:19:47,587 --> 00:19:49,050
"Okay, now we're doing
a new front suspension,"
404
00:19:49,050 --> 00:19:50,400
and so the scope of the program
405
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:51,690
started getting pretty big at that point.
406
00:19:51,690 --> 00:19:53,527
Before you knew it, it was
completely white sheet of paper.
407
00:19:53,527 --> 00:19:56,087
"We're starting from scratch,
let's do this thing right."
408
00:19:57,510 --> 00:20:00,490
- [Narrator] White paper
equals a clean sheet redesign
409
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:04,620
and a very difficult
conversation with the boss.
410
00:20:04,620 --> 00:20:06,600
- It's very telling that
Dave was able to go back
411
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:07,433
to management and say,
412
00:20:07,433 --> 00:20:09,180
"Okay, I put this independent rear in,
413
00:20:09,180 --> 00:20:11,880
and all of a sudden the
front's just not good enough."
414
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:14,977
He told his chassis, guys,
415
00:20:14,977 --> 00:20:17,580
"Listen, if this were
the last day on earth
416
00:20:17,580 --> 00:20:19,620
and you had the old Mustang Boss 302,:
417
00:20:19,620 --> 00:20:22,323
which was an amazing car,
418
00:20:25,927 --> 00:20:28,710
"And the new Mustang to choose
from, which would it be?"
419
00:20:28,710 --> 00:20:30,390
And he told them not to stop developing
420
00:20:30,390 --> 00:20:32,873
until it was unequivocally the new car.
421
00:20:32,873 --> 00:20:37,873
(tires screeching)
(car whooshing)
422
00:20:38,580 --> 00:20:40,350
- [Narrator] As the scope
of the project increases
423
00:20:40,350 --> 00:20:44,133
the days until the 50th
anniversary continue to count down,
424
00:20:47,654 --> 00:20:49,380
and so does the team's funding.
425
00:20:49,380 --> 00:20:51,510
- We still have (indistinct)...
426
00:20:51,510 --> 00:20:52,920
There's not only hard conversations
427
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:55,380
on just how we're gonna to do it,
428
00:20:55,380 --> 00:20:57,360
hard conversations around investments,
429
00:20:57,360 --> 00:20:59,340
how are we gonna fund this?
430
00:20:59,340 --> 00:21:01,463
Remember we had a birthday party to get to
431
00:21:04,230 --> 00:21:06,080
and the birthday party wasn't moving.
432
00:21:08,910 --> 00:21:10,920
- [Narrator] A birthday
celebration that's planned
433
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:14,376
for the top of the Empire State
Building in New York City.
434
00:21:14,376 --> 00:21:17,126
(dramatic music)
435
00:21:21,630 --> 00:21:24,573
The date is set, the plans are made,
436
00:21:26,580 --> 00:21:29,493
and now every moment in between matters,
437
00:21:33,420 --> 00:21:36,990
Team Mustang has just under 700 days
438
00:21:36,990 --> 00:21:39,960
to bring their newest
pony car to the market.
439
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,970
Turning the next corner
will take a brand new engine
440
00:21:42,970 --> 00:21:44,590
and a little bit of muscle.
441
00:21:44,590 --> 00:21:48,233
(car engine roaring)
442
00:21:48,233 --> 00:21:52,867
(mellow music)
(tires screeching)
443
00:21:52,867 --> 00:21:54,882
(car whooshing)
444
00:21:54,882 --> 00:21:57,920
The 50th anniversary of
the world's first pony car
445
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:00,030
is just a year and a half away.
446
00:22:00,030 --> 00:22:02,280
In 1965, the original Stang
447
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:05,970
took 8.2 seconds to hit 60 miles an hour.
448
00:22:05,970 --> 00:22:09,089
Dave Pericak and his team plan
to cut that number in half
449
00:22:09,089 --> 00:22:12,120
with the new generation six machine.
450
00:22:12,120 --> 00:22:15,510
But a launch off the line is
hard to see at the moment.
451
00:22:15,510 --> 00:22:18,570
Team Mustang has just hit the reset button
452
00:22:18,570 --> 00:22:20,403
on a clean sheet redesign.
453
00:22:21,690 --> 00:22:25,380
While they struggle to solve
the new suspension problems,
454
00:22:25,380 --> 00:22:28,713
other engineers tackle
more muscular concerns.
455
00:22:29,550 --> 00:22:32,647
- One of the first key questions
that we had to deal with is
456
00:22:32,647 --> 00:22:34,500
"What are we gonna do
with the powertrains?
457
00:22:34,500 --> 00:22:36,300
What are we gonna do with the engines?"
458
00:22:36,300 --> 00:22:38,100
- [Narrator] The original
Mustang's largest engine
459
00:22:38,100 --> 00:22:40,443
made 210 horsepower.
460
00:22:41,550 --> 00:22:43,743
Today that doesn't get the job done.
461
00:22:46,950 --> 00:22:50,950
- We needed a engine lineup
that was gonna be more powerful
462
00:22:52,175 --> 00:22:53,370
(car roaring)
463
00:22:53,370 --> 00:22:55,230
and at the same time more fuel efficient.
464
00:22:55,230 --> 00:22:57,750
So that was definitely on the radar.
465
00:22:57,750 --> 00:23:00,453
- [Narrator] The team decides
on three power plants.
466
00:23:02,370 --> 00:23:06,690
The first two are enhanced
versions of classic Ford engines.
467
00:23:06,690 --> 00:23:10,293
A naturally aspirated 300 horsepower V-6.
468
00:23:13,110 --> 00:23:18,053
And a flagship five liter V-8
that pumps out 435 horsepower.
469
00:23:21,090 --> 00:23:23,670
- You know, there's this whole
sort of obsession about V8s.
470
00:23:23,670 --> 00:23:24,570
Some people still have it,
471
00:23:24,570 --> 00:23:26,223
but I think people now appreciate
you can get a lot of power
472
00:23:26,223 --> 00:23:27,513
with the smaller engines.
473
00:23:30,300 --> 00:23:33,720
- [Narrator] But the biggest
news is the smallest package.
474
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:35,250
A secret engine
475
00:23:35,250 --> 00:23:38,296
designed at the Beech
Daily Technical Center.
476
00:23:38,296 --> 00:23:40,740
(mellow music)
477
00:23:40,740 --> 00:23:44,580
It's a rarely seen high-tech
laboratory for engines.
478
00:23:44,580 --> 00:23:45,413
- We're always having the,
479
00:23:45,413 --> 00:23:46,890
"I need more power" discussion, right?
480
00:23:46,890 --> 00:23:48,779
Well, you can never have
too much power with Mustang.
481
00:23:48,779 --> 00:23:51,446
(car whooshing)
482
00:23:54,270 --> 00:23:55,500
- [Narrator] The Beech Daily facility
483
00:23:55,500 --> 00:23:57,100
is a sophisticated complex
484
00:23:59,220 --> 00:24:02,400
where engineers use sand casting
485
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:06,750
and rapid prototyping printers
to build one of a kind parts
486
00:24:06,750 --> 00:24:07,803
for the new Mustang.
487
00:24:12,090 --> 00:24:14,130
- Parts on this vehicle
that came through this lab
488
00:24:14,130 --> 00:24:15,830
and development are a significant number
489
00:24:15,830 --> 00:24:17,133
of the parts of this car.
490
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:24,000
- [Narrator] Almost every
single part on the new Stang
491
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:27,552
can be prototyped inside these walls.
492
00:24:27,552 --> 00:24:30,219
(car whooshing)
493
00:24:31,140 --> 00:24:32,880
- The rapid prototyping
has been a huge part
494
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:35,310
of making this machine come to life.
495
00:24:35,310 --> 00:24:38,220
It helps us to get some
answers really quick.
496
00:24:38,220 --> 00:24:39,330
- [Narrator] The process starts
497
00:24:39,330 --> 00:24:41,523
deep inside another computer.
498
00:24:42,750 --> 00:24:44,913
The data is sent to a 3D printer.
499
00:24:46,290 --> 00:24:48,360
The system uses a UV laser
500
00:24:48,360 --> 00:24:52,260
to harden liquid resin
one layer at a time.
501
00:24:52,260 --> 00:24:54,090
- I always take parts
from a computer model
502
00:24:54,090 --> 00:24:55,830
and we slice 'em up like a deck of cards,
503
00:24:55,830 --> 00:24:58,127
and then we make them one
layer at a time (indistinct).
504
00:24:59,310 --> 00:25:02,520
We build parts from this vat of resin.
505
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:03,633
It's kinda like syrup.
506
00:25:06,390 --> 00:25:08,070
- [Narrator] That syrup is so expensive
507
00:25:08,070 --> 00:25:10,893
that Ford keeps the
exact cost confidential.
508
00:25:13,290 --> 00:25:15,120
While the money spent is obscure,
509
00:25:15,120 --> 00:25:17,970
the time required to use
it is remarkably short.
510
00:25:17,970 --> 00:25:19,710
- For the intake manifold,
511
00:25:19,710 --> 00:25:22,530
it would take a day and a
half to build in this machine.
512
00:25:22,530 --> 00:25:24,840
- [Narrator] A 15 centimeter tall part
513
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:27,183
takes up to 30 hours to build.
514
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:32,853
Once the accuracy of a part is verified,
515
00:25:34,050 --> 00:25:36,030
it's time to build a more advanced
516
00:25:36,030 --> 00:25:39,000
and robust prototype part.
517
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,100
This time for a running engine.
518
00:25:41,100 --> 00:25:43,530
- This is called
selective laser centering.
519
00:25:43,530 --> 00:25:44,640
- [Narrator] Next, the team uses
520
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:47,310
a high-tech 3D sand printer.
521
00:25:47,310 --> 00:25:49,530
It's just like an inkjet printer
522
00:25:49,530 --> 00:25:52,110
only instead of ink, it uses glue.
523
00:25:52,110 --> 00:25:53,760
- This machine takes nylon powder,
524
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:55,260
very fine like talcum powder,
525
00:25:55,260 --> 00:25:56,810
and it spreads a layer of that.
526
00:25:59,370 --> 00:26:01,530
The machine will heat it up
and then a laser will come
527
00:26:01,530 --> 00:26:03,049
and melt those particles together.
528
00:26:03,049 --> 00:26:05,632
(upbeat music)
529
00:26:11,100 --> 00:26:12,510
- [Narrator] The printer grows components
530
00:26:12,510 --> 00:26:15,150
one grain of sand at a time
531
00:26:15,150 --> 00:26:18,480
and is accurate down to five
hundredths of a millimeter.
532
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:20,430
That's roughly six and a half times
533
00:26:20,430 --> 00:26:22,833
the length of a single red blood cell.
534
00:26:24,090 --> 00:26:26,643
But sand printing is no day at the beach.
535
00:26:28,980 --> 00:26:31,080
Before you can touch the finished piece,
536
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:32,313
you have to dig it out.
537
00:26:36,422 --> 00:26:37,960
- This is a breakout station.
538
00:26:40,170 --> 00:26:42,538
We get to play archeologists
and dig our parts out.
539
00:26:42,538 --> 00:26:45,288
(dramatic music)
540
00:26:54,149 --> 00:26:56,580
You can print a (indistinct)
full of parts in about two days
541
00:26:56,580 --> 00:26:57,990
so we can have a part back to you
542
00:26:57,990 --> 00:26:59,060
in a matter of a couple of weeks.
543
00:26:59,060 --> 00:27:00,000
In the old way,
544
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,700
it might have taken four
months to get a part.
545
00:27:02,700 --> 00:27:03,840
- [Narrator] Just five years ago,
546
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:07,020
turning 3D car data into
a functioning engine
547
00:27:07,020 --> 00:27:11,910
took up to six months now
it takes just 10 weeks.
548
00:27:11,910 --> 00:27:14,910
And for Team Mustang, every week matters
549
00:27:14,910 --> 00:27:18,120
as the 50th anniversary
deadline approaches.
550
00:27:18,120 --> 00:27:20,100
- You build it, you test
it, you make sure it fits,
551
00:27:20,100 --> 00:27:22,500
and then you go onto the next step.
552
00:27:22,500 --> 00:27:24,060
- As you know, as we start
to develop the engines,
553
00:27:24,060 --> 00:27:26,370
we will do some rapid prototyping.
554
00:27:26,370 --> 00:27:27,630
You might have rapid prototype parts
555
00:27:27,630 --> 00:27:29,400
right alongside production parts,
556
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:30,660
and then we will put it
through some testing.
557
00:27:30,660 --> 00:27:32,490
So it might go out to our MPG.
558
00:27:32,490 --> 00:27:35,523
- [Narrator] MPG stands for
the Michigan Proving Ground.
559
00:27:37,290 --> 00:27:42,210
This is where new pony cars are
run for the very first time.
560
00:27:42,210 --> 00:27:43,440
- To be honest, every manufacturer
561
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:45,351
has their own testing facility.
562
00:27:45,351 --> 00:27:47,370
Ford's handling loop is pretty awesome.
563
00:27:47,370 --> 00:27:48,750
- [Narrator] Inside of a top secret
564
00:27:48,750 --> 00:27:50,881
16 square kilometer facility
565
00:27:50,881 --> 00:27:55,020
that features over 160
kilometers of roads,
566
00:27:55,020 --> 00:27:59,180
it's here where Team Mustang
tests new engine parts
567
00:27:59,180 --> 00:28:01,560
in an early generation six prototype
568
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:03,570
on a unique high speed oval
569
00:28:03,570 --> 00:28:08,490
capable of sustained 320
kilometer per hour speeds.
570
00:28:08,490 --> 00:28:09,630
- You know, it'll do some durability runs
571
00:28:09,630 --> 00:28:12,150
and they'll run it through its paces.
572
00:28:12,150 --> 00:28:13,590
Then they'll bring it
back into Beech Daily
573
00:28:13,590 --> 00:28:14,857
and they'll tear it down and they'll say,
574
00:28:14,857 --> 00:28:16,307
"How did everything perform?"
575
00:28:18,330 --> 00:28:20,850
- [Narrator] To test it,
the team puts one and a half
576
00:28:20,850 --> 00:28:22,953
million kilometers on the new engine,
577
00:28:24,030 --> 00:28:27,813
the equivalent to nearly 74
years of everyday driving.
578
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:34,260
Some is done very slowly,
(tires screeching)
579
00:28:34,260 --> 00:28:38,670
some is done very smoky,
(tires screeching)
580
00:28:38,670 --> 00:28:41,613
and some hits the edge of
the performance envelope.
581
00:28:43,110 --> 00:28:45,630
During the machine's four
year development process,
582
00:28:45,630 --> 00:28:49,830
engineers tear down over 120 engines
583
00:28:49,830 --> 00:28:53,490
scientifically looking
at each and every piece
584
00:28:53,490 --> 00:28:55,803
until the design is just right.
585
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:58,590
- If something in fact is not durable
586
00:28:58,590 --> 00:29:00,840
or if it is falling a
bit short of our target,
587
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:02,047
then we'll go back and we'll
actually re-engineer it
588
00:29:02,047 --> 00:29:04,697
and we'll go through almost
that whole process again.
589
00:29:06,567 --> 00:29:07,740
(car roaring)
590
00:29:07,740 --> 00:29:09,337
At the same time, they've got
me screaming at 'em saying,
591
00:29:09,337 --> 00:29:10,170
"I need more power,"
592
00:29:10,170 --> 00:29:12,750
so now they're trying
to engineer more power.
593
00:29:12,750 --> 00:29:14,040
It just keeps going round and round.
594
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:15,120
- [Narrator] With just over a year
595
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:16,860
before the new machine's introduction,
596
00:29:16,860 --> 00:29:20,580
the team continues to test
the engine on the track.
597
00:29:20,580 --> 00:29:23,073
Meanwhile, new concerns emerge.
598
00:29:23,970 --> 00:29:25,380
- You know, just because you go fast,
599
00:29:25,380 --> 00:29:27,600
just because you are
having fun and driving,
600
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:30,300
we still want to make sure this
car is the safest possible.
601
00:29:30,300 --> 00:29:31,980
- [Narrator] To make the Gen-six machine
602
00:29:31,980 --> 00:29:33,990
the safest Mustang ever,
603
00:29:33,990 --> 00:29:37,860
the team focuses on the
new US Roof Crush Standard.
604
00:29:37,860 --> 00:29:40,350
The law mandates that all new machines
605
00:29:40,350 --> 00:29:43,020
must hold over three times their weight
606
00:29:43,020 --> 00:29:45,000
should a car flip over in an accident.
607
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:46,650
- [Man] We actually are going to achieve
608
00:29:46,650 --> 00:29:48,423
four times the weight of the car.
609
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:51,570
- [Narrator] To exceed
the government standard,
610
00:29:51,570 --> 00:29:54,510
Team Mustang uses a new
cutting edge technology
611
00:29:54,510 --> 00:29:58,324
called Hydroforming to make
the machines roof rails.
612
00:29:58,324 --> 00:30:00,907
(upbeat music)
613
00:30:03,450 --> 00:30:05,970
The engineering team turns to Schuler,
614
00:30:05,970 --> 00:30:10,203
a German company that first
started bending metal in 1839.
615
00:30:11,460 --> 00:30:13,140
Today they produce a variety
616
00:30:13,140 --> 00:30:16,129
of cutting edge stamping solutions.
617
00:30:16,129 --> 00:30:18,420
(car whooshing)
618
00:30:18,420 --> 00:30:19,830
- You wanna bring roof lines lower
619
00:30:19,830 --> 00:30:21,060
and you wanna sleek things out.
620
00:30:21,060 --> 00:30:22,650
You definitely have a bigger challenge
621
00:30:22,650 --> 00:30:24,200
to meet things like roof crush.
622
00:30:26,100 --> 00:30:29,280
Hydroforming is one way to
produce an extremely strong,
623
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:31,440
very efficient structure.
624
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:34,156
- [Narrator] Hydroforming is
an advanced way to press metal
625
00:30:34,156 --> 00:30:38,190
into extremely lightweight
and structurally stiff pieces
626
00:30:38,190 --> 00:30:40,653
using heavy weight and water.
627
00:30:41,910 --> 00:30:43,863
- We start out with a round tube,
628
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:47,790
then it goes through a bending process.
629
00:30:49,110 --> 00:30:51,900
So the next step would be to put this tube
630
00:30:51,900 --> 00:30:53,703
into a hydroforming dye.
631
00:30:55,017 --> 00:30:57,963
These here would be the
lower dye, the upper dyes.
632
00:30:58,950 --> 00:31:01,350
Once the tool is completely closed,
633
00:31:01,350 --> 00:31:03,360
that's when we bump up the water pressure
634
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:04,882
to over 20,000 PSI.
635
00:31:04,882 --> 00:31:08,254
(dramatic music)
636
00:31:08,254 --> 00:31:11,220
- [Narrator] 20,000 PSI
or pounds per square inch
637
00:31:11,220 --> 00:31:14,579
is almost 500 times the
average car's tire pressure.
638
00:31:14,579 --> 00:31:17,010
(water flowing)
639
00:31:17,010 --> 00:31:18,661
- In order to form this part,
640
00:31:18,661 --> 00:31:20,640
using the pressure that's in there,
641
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:22,950
that requires 3,200 tons of force.
642
00:31:22,950 --> 00:31:25,170
So that force is like a thousand cars
643
00:31:25,170 --> 00:31:28,113
stacked up on top of this
dye to hold it closed.
644
00:31:30,206 --> 00:31:32,956
(metal rattling)
645
00:31:37,934 --> 00:31:40,080
- When we take this part out of the dye,
646
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:42,333
it wants to go back to its original shape,
647
00:31:43,410 --> 00:31:44,943
what we call as a spring back.
648
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:47,490
- [Narrator] The stamped tubes spring back
649
00:31:47,490 --> 00:31:50,760
to their original shape
by up to five millimeters.
650
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:52,740
That's roughly 50 times the height
651
00:31:52,740 --> 00:31:55,410
of a single strand of human hair.
652
00:31:55,410 --> 00:31:59,580
It doesn't sound like much,
but with just over 365 days
653
00:31:59,580 --> 00:32:01,683
until the machine's 50th anniversary,
654
00:32:04,312 --> 00:32:08,010
the only thing that's more
exact is the margin of error
655
00:32:08,010 --> 00:32:10,263
for Team Mustang's birthday celebration.
656
00:32:13,452 --> 00:32:15,952
(car roaring)
657
00:32:16,850 --> 00:32:19,433
(mellow music)
658
00:32:23,790 --> 00:32:27,450
It's been nearly 1,400
days since Team Mustang
659
00:32:27,450 --> 00:32:30,483
started planning the
sixth generation machine.
660
00:32:31,500 --> 00:32:35,100
Now mass production is
just around the corner.
661
00:32:35,100 --> 00:32:37,980
- So just an update on where
we are on the program, guys.
662
00:32:37,980 --> 00:32:40,590
I think everybody knows that
we're heading into the TT build
663
00:32:40,590 --> 00:32:44,373
for the convertible and the
PP build for the Fastback.
664
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:47,610
- [Narrator] A PP build
665
00:32:47,610 --> 00:32:50,103
is a pre-prototype version of the machine.
666
00:32:51,690 --> 00:32:54,120
A small batch of 100 cars to ensure
667
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:56,640
everything is going according to plan.
668
00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:58,770
- My job is to make sure that
I'm keeping everybody focused
669
00:32:58,770 --> 00:32:59,603
and on track.
670
00:32:59,603 --> 00:33:00,990
See me in my office, we go
through all the details.
671
00:33:00,990 --> 00:33:03,090
I wanna know what the team's
plan is to get to line 90.
672
00:33:03,090 --> 00:33:03,960
Don't meet with me on Friday
673
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:05,160
to tell me why you can't get it done.
674
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:06,660
Meet with me on Friday to
tell me what you're doing
675
00:33:06,660 --> 00:33:08,340
to get it done and what help you need.
676
00:33:08,340 --> 00:33:09,960
I am a bit of a football
coach in a way, right?
677
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:11,040
I've gotta keep their morale up.
678
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:12,690
I've gotta make sure that
even in the hard times
679
00:33:12,690 --> 00:33:15,000
that they understand why
we're doing what we're doing.
680
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:15,930
I just wanna make sure guys,
681
00:33:15,930 --> 00:33:18,570
that we stay on top of that
testing that's completing
682
00:33:18,570 --> 00:33:20,460
so that we don't get
ourselves into a bind.
683
00:33:20,460 --> 00:33:22,980
That meeting is actually one
where we set the whole pace
684
00:33:22,980 --> 00:33:24,960
for the program, where
are we at in the program?
685
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:26,310
What's coming up next?
686
00:33:26,310 --> 00:33:28,873
What big decisions do we have to make?
687
00:33:28,873 --> 00:33:30,617
- Timing.
No guys.
688
00:33:30,617 --> 00:33:32,580
At the meeting gets a
little heated at times
689
00:33:32,580 --> 00:33:34,290
or we'll call it energized.
690
00:33:34,290 --> 00:33:35,370
- Not having the part on the bomb
691
00:33:35,370 --> 00:33:36,570
doesn't help anybody right now.
692
00:33:36,570 --> 00:33:37,710
- I don't wanna talk to engineers.
693
00:33:37,710 --> 00:33:39,390
I don't wanna sit there
and go through the details.
694
00:33:39,390 --> 00:33:42,183
I wanna ask why he
can't get the work done.
695
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:45,570
- [Narrator] The meetings can be tense.
696
00:33:45,570 --> 00:33:49,650
A lot is on the line for Team
Mustang and the company too.
697
00:33:49,650 --> 00:33:53,190
- If the new Mustang failed,
Dave would be out of a job.
698
00:33:53,190 --> 00:33:54,690
- And I don't need to go
to an executive director
699
00:33:54,690 --> 00:33:57,180
so that he can tell us
that we need to go faster.
700
00:33:57,180 --> 00:34:00,090
- Those were the nasty
everyday three and a half,
701
00:34:00,090 --> 00:34:01,800
four hour meetings in the studio
702
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:03,600
where we cycle team after team.
703
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:04,688
Let's start one at a time.
704
00:34:04,688 --> 00:34:06,540
(indistinct) What are we waiting on?
705
00:34:06,540 --> 00:34:07,710
- And when you have passion,
706
00:34:07,710 --> 00:34:09,780
it doesn't just happen in one meeting,
707
00:34:09,780 --> 00:34:10,950
it's all day long, right?
708
00:34:10,950 --> 00:34:14,550
Yeah. Sometimes the the
passion is very prevalent.
709
00:34:14,550 --> 00:34:16,710
Do me a favor, don't bring
this in my Friday discussion
710
00:34:16,710 --> 00:34:17,820
because if it's in the Friday discussion,
711
00:34:17,820 --> 00:34:18,960
it won't be a good discussion.
712
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:23,040
- Every part on this car has
been at least debated 10 times.
713
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:24,900
It's going to be a while
before the seat guys
714
00:34:24,900 --> 00:34:26,760
and the wiring guys and
everybody get there.
715
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:28,920
There are several parts in this car
716
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:31,344
where we are running on the ragged edge.
717
00:34:31,344 --> 00:34:33,780
I mean I should say word fought,
718
00:34:33,780 --> 00:34:37,590
but we debated every half
a millimeter on this car
719
00:34:37,590 --> 00:34:39,420
to make sure that we are optimizing
720
00:34:39,420 --> 00:34:41,403
to the last half millimeter.
721
00:34:42,330 --> 00:34:44,100
- [Narrator] While the
engineering team obsesses
722
00:34:44,100 --> 00:34:47,070
over millimeters and
the pre-production team
723
00:34:47,070 --> 00:34:51,540
focuses on prototypes,
the pressure is palpable.
724
00:34:51,540 --> 00:34:52,920
- We really are spending a lot of time
725
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:55,350
in the prototype stage,
in the development stage,
726
00:34:55,350 --> 00:34:58,170
but there's a lot of
pressure in the launch phase.
727
00:34:58,170 --> 00:34:59,490
- [Narrator] Before the Mustang team
728
00:34:59,490 --> 00:35:02,217
can start mass producing
the generation six machine,
729
00:35:02,217 --> 00:35:04,967
(dramatic music)
730
00:35:14,970 --> 00:35:17,193
they have to learn how to hand build it.
731
00:35:19,706 --> 00:35:21,240
(machines grinding)
732
00:35:21,240 --> 00:35:23,310
- The plant's got a big
responsibility in making sure
733
00:35:23,310 --> 00:35:25,890
that we can build the unit
the way it's designed.
734
00:35:25,890 --> 00:35:28,680
So we get involved very
early on with the design
735
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:31,140
to make sure it's manufacturing feasible.
736
00:35:31,140 --> 00:35:33,300
And then we get involved
with what's called
737
00:35:33,300 --> 00:35:36,900
VP Build, Virtual Production Build.
738
00:35:36,900 --> 00:35:39,000
- [Narrator] The virtual
production build takes place
739
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:41,460
across the street from
the final assembly hall
740
00:35:41,460 --> 00:35:44,070
inside a clandestine prototype building
741
00:35:44,070 --> 00:35:46,200
that the public never gets to see
742
00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:48,570
known only as the pilot plant.
743
00:35:48,570 --> 00:35:51,330
- We have a team of product
specialists that get involved
744
00:35:51,330 --> 00:35:53,280
with the VP build up at the pilot plant.
745
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:55,893
Now this is our build prove out facility.
746
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:03,906
This is where we first get an
opportunity to take the parts
747
00:36:03,906 --> 00:36:07,800
and the process and get our
product specialists involved
748
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:09,903
with doing a static build of a vehicle.
749
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:13,350
- But we'll build a batch
of cars and then we'll stop
750
00:36:13,350 --> 00:36:14,183
and we'll do some testing
751
00:36:14,183 --> 00:36:16,628
and then we'll build another
batch and stop and test.
752
00:36:16,628 --> 00:36:18,540
(machines grinding)
753
00:36:18,540 --> 00:36:20,730
- [Narrator] The pilot
plant is a secure facility
754
00:36:20,730 --> 00:36:23,040
where the pressure mounts for Team Mustang
755
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:24,303
one bolt at a time.
756
00:36:35,670 --> 00:36:39,213
The perfect place to test
fit parts on the new Mustang.
757
00:36:42,994 --> 00:36:47,994
(machines whirring)
(mellow music)
758
00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:58,920
- If we can learn how to
build a vehicle statically,
759
00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:01,989
then we can transfer that
knowledge onto the assembly line.
760
00:37:01,989 --> 00:37:04,572
(mellow music)
761
00:37:42,930 --> 00:37:47,100
So they're in there proving
out the production processes
762
00:37:47,100 --> 00:37:48,443
and getting our hands on the parts
763
00:37:48,443 --> 00:37:50,310
and the way the vehicle goes together
764
00:37:50,310 --> 00:37:51,773
at a very, very early stage.
765
00:37:51,773 --> 00:37:56,773
(mellow music)
(machines grinding)
766
00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:04,620
- [Narrator] Everything is identical
767
00:38:04,620 --> 00:38:09,620
to the final assembly hall,
except for one small detail.
768
00:38:10,860 --> 00:38:13,203
The line never actually moves.
769
00:38:15,210 --> 00:38:16,740
- [Man] You can see we've got a version
770
00:38:16,740 --> 00:38:18,220
of each one of our conveyors
771
00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:23,820
and we have all of our tools
right in this building,
772
00:38:23,820 --> 00:38:25,770
so we can prove out the
process right in here
773
00:38:25,770 --> 00:38:27,735
before we have to take
it to the assembly line.
774
00:38:27,735 --> 00:38:32,735
(mellow music)
(machines grinding)
775
00:38:51,540 --> 00:38:53,580
- [Narrator] After many
months of trial and error,
776
00:38:53,580 --> 00:38:56,883
the pilot plant prototypes
are ready to hit the road.
777
00:38:59,100 --> 00:39:00,360
It's time to take a trip
778
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:02,440
back to the Michigan Proving Grounds
779
00:39:04,950 --> 00:39:06,990
where Team Mustang puts the new machine
780
00:39:06,990 --> 00:39:09,570
through a variety of paces,
781
00:39:09,570 --> 00:39:11,802
including testing a brand new feature
782
00:39:11,802 --> 00:39:15,650
that's not available on any
other machine, line lock,
783
00:39:18,060 --> 00:39:20,523
a factory enabled burnout control.
784
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:23,910
- Why not? Number one is
why wouldn't you do it?
785
00:39:23,910 --> 00:39:27,210
- It's juvenile, it's
moronic, it's awesome.
786
00:39:27,210 --> 00:39:28,290
And it's one of the reasons
787
00:39:28,290 --> 00:39:30,450
why I love the Mustang's engineering team.
788
00:39:30,450 --> 00:39:32,760
- [Narrator] The line lock
system lets weak weekend warriors
789
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:35,353
properly warm up their
tires at the drag strip.
790
00:39:35,353 --> 00:39:37,560
(tires whirring)
791
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:39,660
Something that's not exactly condoned
792
00:39:39,660 --> 00:39:41,381
by the machine's warranty,
793
00:39:41,381 --> 00:39:44,460
but in a battle for pony car supremacy,
794
00:39:44,460 --> 00:39:46,200
every new feature counts.
795
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:49,320
- Line lock serves zero
purpose at all for no reason
796
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:52,835
other than just to go
out and be a hooligan.
797
00:39:52,835 --> 00:39:54,720
(tires whirring)
798
00:39:54,720 --> 00:39:56,501
- Why is this the ultimate hooligan's car?
799
00:39:56,501 --> 00:39:58,997
'Cause I think many of us,
we haven't left high school.
800
00:39:58,997 --> 00:40:01,350
(tires whirring)
801
00:40:01,350 --> 00:40:02,940
- Once they first started
putting big engines in them
802
00:40:02,940 --> 00:40:03,923
they haven't looked back.
803
00:40:03,923 --> 00:40:07,104
(tires whirring)
804
00:40:07,104 --> 00:40:08,790
(mellow music)
(machine whirring)
805
00:40:08,790 --> 00:40:12,630
- [Narrator] Today, that big
engine is the five liter V8
806
00:40:12,630 --> 00:40:15,117
which cranks out 435 horsepower
807
00:40:15,117 --> 00:40:17,521
and 400 foot pounds of torque.
808
00:40:17,521 --> 00:40:20,550
(tires whirring)
809
00:40:20,550 --> 00:40:22,080
The five liter Mustang launches
810
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:24,390
from zero to a hundred kilometers per hour
811
00:40:24,390 --> 00:40:27,020
in just 4.5 seconds.
812
00:40:27,020 --> 00:40:28,530
(car whooshing)
813
00:40:28,530 --> 00:40:30,780
- The new Mustang is shockingly refined.
814
00:40:30,780 --> 00:40:34,497
It can compete on the merits
of quietness and smoothness.
815
00:40:34,497 --> 00:40:35,330
(car whooshing)
816
00:40:35,330 --> 00:40:36,750
- [Narrator] But the ultimate surprise
817
00:40:36,750 --> 00:40:40,740
is the all new EcoBoost
four cylinder engine.
818
00:40:40,740 --> 00:40:42,810
- It was specifically
designed for Mustang.
819
00:40:42,810 --> 00:40:45,750
You can get V8 type power in this case
820
00:40:45,750 --> 00:40:47,340
with the four cylinder engine
821
00:40:47,340 --> 00:40:49,200
and produce 33 miles per gallon.
822
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:51,360
The previous V8 was
cranking out 315 horse.
823
00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:52,830
We're gonna be doing that
with a four cylinder now.
824
00:40:52,830 --> 00:40:54,816
- [Narrator] The EcoBoost offers V8 power
825
00:40:54,816 --> 00:40:56,943
with four cylinder fuel economy.
826
00:40:58,170 --> 00:41:00,450
- Fuel economy is certainly
a bigger concern in Europe
827
00:41:00,450 --> 00:41:01,890
than it is in the US,
828
00:41:01,890 --> 00:41:05,070
and the Mustang possibly
couldn't be sold in Europe
829
00:41:05,070 --> 00:41:06,510
without that Turbo four.
830
00:41:06,510 --> 00:41:08,220
- [Narrator] But it's
the revamped suspension
831
00:41:08,220 --> 00:41:10,830
that adds a new edge to the Mustang.
832
00:41:10,830 --> 00:41:13,980
A system that at one
point stopped development.
833
00:41:13,980 --> 00:41:15,450
- They've bitten the bullet,
they've spent the money
834
00:41:15,450 --> 00:41:17,160
and designed an all new rear end
835
00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:19,230
that really is going to make this car
836
00:41:19,230 --> 00:41:21,595
that much more of a sports car.
837
00:41:21,595 --> 00:41:23,190
(car whooshing)
838
00:41:23,190 --> 00:41:26,040
It's really gonna unlock a
lot of potential in this car.
839
00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:27,810
- [Narrator] The new
independent rear suspension
840
00:41:27,810 --> 00:41:32,810
helps sling the Stang around
corners and down straightaways.
841
00:41:33,180 --> 00:41:34,860
Punch the pedal to the floorboard
842
00:41:34,860 --> 00:41:38,040
and the GT will hit an
electronically limited top speed
843
00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:40,503
of 264 kilometers an hour.
844
00:41:41,939 --> 00:41:45,543
It's taken over four years
of painstaking design,
845
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:48,904
engineering, and testing.
846
00:41:48,904 --> 00:41:50,370
(car whooshing)
847
00:41:50,370 --> 00:41:52,680
Team Mustang is ready to put the all new
848
00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:55,173
generation six machine into production.
849
00:41:57,540 --> 00:42:00,660
- Each build, we improve upon our training
850
00:42:00,660 --> 00:42:02,340
and our processes.
851
00:42:02,340 --> 00:42:04,470
Then we carry it all the
way up through MP one,
852
00:42:04,470 --> 00:42:05,976
which is mass production.
853
00:42:05,976 --> 00:42:08,559
(mellow music)
854
00:42:10,740 --> 00:42:12,870
The orchestration of the
parts coming together
855
00:42:12,870 --> 00:42:14,400
into the process at the right time,
856
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:16,290
that's the magic of manufacturing
857
00:42:16,290 --> 00:42:17,550
'cause every part's produced
858
00:42:17,550 --> 00:42:20,040
for a certain serial number of a vehicle.
859
00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:22,230
So having those parts
arrive to the vehicle
860
00:42:22,230 --> 00:42:24,780
at the right time just
takes a tremendous amount
861
00:42:24,780 --> 00:42:28,563
of really good integrated
systems work to make that happen.
862
00:42:29,414 --> 00:42:32,670
(mellow music)
863
00:42:32,670 --> 00:42:34,740
- [Narrator] After more than
four years of hard work,
864
00:42:34,740 --> 00:42:36,467
all of that magic comes together
865
00:42:36,467 --> 00:42:39,093
on the 17th of April, 2014.
866
00:42:40,380 --> 00:42:43,860
The very first mass produced
generation six Mustang
867
00:42:43,860 --> 00:42:45,633
finally rolls off the line.
868
00:42:47,580 --> 00:42:50,583
Just in time for the
machine's 50th anniversary,
869
00:42:52,526 --> 00:42:54,330
a celebration planned for the top
870
00:42:54,330 --> 00:42:56,013
of the Empire State Building,
871
00:42:57,060 --> 00:43:02,060
where 50 years to the day Ford
introduced the 1965 Mustang.
872
00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:07,710
It's a date Team Mustang couldn't miss
873
00:43:07,710 --> 00:43:12,003
for the newest variant of a
car, coined the phrase pony car,
874
00:43:15,330 --> 00:43:19,770
but today is no longer showcasing
merely American muscle.
875
00:43:19,770 --> 00:43:22,720
Now it's a global high
performance competitor
876
00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:26,820
and how it will be received
877
00:43:26,820 --> 00:43:29,160
is up to car fans around the world.
878
00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:31,560
- Say, what kept me up at
night was just making sure
879
00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:33,860
that we did it the best
that it could be done.
880
00:43:35,742 --> 00:43:38,010
But it's also something
that you never forget
881
00:43:38,010 --> 00:43:40,133
that you're gonna get a
report card from everybody.
882
00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:44,727
- The report card is from the whole world.
883
00:43:44,727 --> 00:43:47,560
(dramatic music)
