It has the same profile as a Datsun 240Z.

 

Bullitt license plate. Took me 0.2 seconds to see it haha. Idk, I feel like you're trying too hard to implement retro styling elements onto the modern body - like the grille, FORD on the hood, faux gas cap, etc. They definitely look good though!

 

I saw something else man haha

 

Ok lets pick it apart. The hood is very cool I have never seen anything like it that gives it bonus points. It is a huge vent for letting air out with a bridge going over the opening. This bridge would provide a lot of strength to the hood structure. The vent helps keep the front down and the radiator cool. The extended chin is again unique but takes off from the splitter aero pieces used on nearly every type of closed wheel race car. It does make driveways hazardous if it was really as low as that render. Love those slit headlights. I am really bored with the huge expanse of useless plastic covering head lights on many cars today. They just look stupid IMO they cost a fortune and look like crap in a few years from chips and fade. The slit headlights protect and minimize the frontal area of the headlight.

I don't care for the fake rear side scoop. It isn't a mid engine car there are no coolers back there and the rear brakes simply don't justify those drag inducers. The door doesn't extend close enough to the ground. I like that with gullwing doors but not with forward opening doors. Plus it makes the backseats even more useless and this is supposed to be a 2+2 not a two seater.

I can't see enough of the back to really judge. The roof blend to tail looks interesting but hard to tell. Three taillights would tie in with both the three head lights and the traditional Mustang taillights.

Yes indeed. Make that Fairlane. Love it!!!

 

Well nobody judges the very top or bottom of a car usually so if you don't like the front or back that really just leaves the driver and passenger sides - hence 50%

Wasn't trying to pick on you though, IMHO it's pretty ugly. Looks a little like a bloated Chrysler Crossfire to me.

 

Agreed.

 

Mustang lovers have said the same thing when the 1967 redesign came out, the 1969 redsign and every change since...

So... if that is the truth.. why is there going to be a 50th anniversary model?

 

Nearly, but with perhaps an exception or two, one being the '74 Pontiac Trans Am with the Super Duty (SD) 455 motor that, amazingly, still pumped out a respectible 290 SEA net HP and could still do a 14 second 1/4 mile at nearly 100mph. The 455 soldiered on until '76, though in a station wagon state of tune.

The Vette still had the LS4 454 in '74 with about 270hp still and wasn't a bad performer. Even the smaller L82 350, with a lot of good golden-age hi-po forged bits inside while pumping out a more modest 250hp as compared to the LT1 glory days.

So yes, American performance cars were in their death throes by '74, with the Mustang II being a particularly egregious case of rigor mortis (even if it did keep the name alive at least, though the car itself was better suited for disco than drag strip), but credit due to the last few standing soldiers.

It really wasn't until '82, with the much improved Fox chassis and the newly reintroduced GT with the H.O. 302 putting out a "healthy" 157hp that the performance car renaisance really began at Ford, now peaking at a then inconceivable 662hp GT500, over 4X what the '82 GT had (almost like an '82 GT with an engine for every wheel).

 

Final found a decent sized version of Kyle Evans' rendering.

YES PLEASE!!

 

Sex on wheels...

 

Yes that has to be my favorite rendering. I like the look of a Shelby GR-1 concept worked into a Mustang. I think perhaps what we will actually see is something like this with the Evos front end worked in. The rear of the Evos already looks somewhat similar to this.

 

No, it looks horrible as a mustang. Its a mercedes blended with jag and aston martin.

 

I like Kyle's rendering the best.

 

No love for me?

Jk

 

Who are you??

 

Kyle Evans ROCKS!

 

My favorite design all along has been Kyle Evans sketch...I know the 2015 design is locked in but hopefully Ford will take note of where most would like the design to go...Post to Fords Facebook and Ford Social:
