2016 Ford Mustang Voted Hottest Car at SEMA for 2015 Show

PEKIN, Ill. –– Although there are plenty of great vehicles Ford had on display throughout the SEMA 2015 in Las Vegas, there was one valiant victor of a vehicle that stood out among the rest.

The 2016 Ford Mustang was voted the Hottest Car at SEMA for the 2015 show, giving the Mustang the ultimate award for creativity and customization for the fourth year in a row. Photos of the Mustang sporting a variety of special edition designs show exactly why Ford's original pony car is still the king.

Only vehicles within the current model year, either from independent manufacturers or OEMs (original equipment manufacturers), were eligible.

Alongside the Mustang, two other Ford vehicles won Hottest Cars at SEMA. The judges awarded the F-150 pickup with Hottest Truck, and the Focus sedan and hatchback with Hottest Sport Compact Category.

2015 Mustang GT "King Cobra" Package Unveiled at SEMA Show

2015 Mustang GT "King Cobra" Package Unveiled at SEMA Show
PEKIN, Illi. - A lot of things went down at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas last week. Some of the industry's biggest leaders were revealing the most impressive concept vehicles of all time; topping one idea after the next. Ford Motor Company was no exception with Ford Racing's debut of a thrilling product built exclusively with Ford Racing performance parts. 

The 2015 Mustang Gt "King Cobra" package was unveiled at the SEMA Show last week and gave attendees plenty to talk about. With a name like King Cobra, they should have known that they were in for a product with some serious bite. Ford Racing has been waiting for the opportunity to get their hands on a 2015 Mustang and develop a series of packages that would push it to the limit. As one of Ford Racing's first performance packages available for the 2015 Mustang, it is definitely setting the bar high. The "King Cobra" is equipped with the "Drag Pack", "Handling Pack", and "Super Pack" supercharger kit, helping to produce an insane 600+ horsepower. 

The Drag Pack allows the Mustang put out an optimal amount of power thanks to its heavy-duty half shafts, and a rear-sub frame kit with pre-installed high-performance bushings to improve traction. The Handling Pack lowers the Mustang one inch with front and rear lowering springs and includes a stabilizer bar kit. The cherry on top of this deadly combination is the Super Pack's 2.3L Twin Vortices Series supercharger assembly; a product co-developed and co-branded by Ford Racing and ROUSH Performance.

The 2015 Mustang GT "King Cobra" Package unveiled at the SEMA Show was built to be a high-performance street-and-drag strip car that can be fully replicated by any Mustang owner with help from Ford Racing's extensive parts catalog. This was one of Ford Racing's main goals. They wanted Mustang owners to be able to open up the Ford Racing parts catalog and have the ability to choose any part that they wanted. Finally, Ford Racing believes that they have created the ultimate package to make this possible - the King Cobra.
