Hmmm...I don't like it very much. The original concept Ford had for the new Mustang looked better.

 

[Super-Supra]

What have they done to the concept.

 

[Fenrir51]

What they did with the thunderbird thats what

 

[Rumple Foreskin]

I'll take two.

Me likey.

 

[milefile]

I like it. It's hard to imagine all the idiots driving Mustangs now driving those around. They don't deserve it.

Hey new pics. I've know about it for a while now, I foudn out through a magazine I bought called Mustang Monthly (Weekly?, somethin' like that) Anyone who wants the projected engine specs and things like that, plus pics, can go to this site I found-->http://www.mustangworld.com/ourpics/News/pics05c/
Wierd, I went to the site through my favorites and it's working, it's not in the link though. Oh well, it was for the concept and not the production model.

 

[The359]

Those are just pics of the original Concept, not the production car.

Yeah but it was still an informative site. Just for anyone who's interested in the concept that is.

I'm pretty sure it's supposed to make you think back to the old fastbacks not a BMW.

I like! The concept car looked too bubbly to me, but this one really looks hunkered down... 👍

 

[The359]

The side profile certainly has a tad bit of a resemblence to the BMW 6-series, but then again they're the same type of car...

Aston Martin front end, hint of RX-8 around the rear wheel arch. Don't mind the front end, but the rear side window's hideous.

 

[Rumple Foreskin]

Meh, this is what I see when I look at it.

I don't see BMW influence, I don't see AstonMartin or RX-8. I see Mustang's of the past shapeing this one.

The lights, the grill, it looks like they took the car I posted, mixed it wth the last Gen 'stang, and updated it for the 2000's to me.

 

[Fenrir51]

I wonder if they give it the AM v-12? I know some guys put one into a Mustang.

 

[The359]

SVT did built a V10 Mustang for testing purposes...

 

[lsk8er]

Damn that thing is nice lookin.

 

[rollazn]

I dont really like it but i agree it look better than our generation of mustangs. 👍

 

[Super-Supra]

That picture makes me think V6, yet it says GT on the side!

 

[Matrixhasu77]

It's ok looking, IMO. It needs a giant air scoop(practically speaking of course, not a giant one) to make it look more beefy looking.

One Aston front end:

I took another look at the RX-8, and I realised it was actually the front RX-8 guard that the Mustang rear guard reminded me of.

There's certainly elements of the old Mustang in there, no question.

 

[Super-Supra]

Yeap, it's nice. But it's just look's like a weaker car then the Mustang should be. When you look at this and the Concept, you really find out what the word Muscle Car differes in the two cars. I hope the SVT Cobra look's more like the Concept on the outside.

See what I mean?

 

[WhiteCharisma85]

I like this rear end better than the concept one... it's more traditional.

 

[xAkirax2004]

Hm. It's ok. I like how they clash the old and new Mustangs and it came out to a good combonation.

Good post, dude - they certainly did soften it. I much prefer the concept.

Geez! Finally someone understands!

 

[ZEE]

Who honestly design the back, it looks hideous from this angle, the concept had the heritage of the orginal car more, I believe......

 

[mr_pushrod]

That rear window looks such an afterthought and the wheels don't at all fill the arches enough. Also the spotlights look like they were added by the owner when he was drunk and it's generally too soft. Still an improvement on the current car though.

 

[WhiteCharisma85]

Oooo. that back end is way to long.
