Its cool and all, but its so padded on all sides, its just waste of time thinking how or what it might look like.

Interesting...

Hard to tell very much with all the camo - which IS the point - but I think you can get an impression of:

* Deeper, more pronounced character lines in the profile, looking at where the fender meets the front edge of the door.
* Running lights seemed to moved forward in the fascia
* Padding on the roof is interesting... If not a convertible, it could suggest what we've seen in recent concept renderings; a double bubble roof similar to what's on the '14 Viper & Vette...
* Looks like the halo tails from the '13/14 MY won't evolve for the new car.
* Overall shape of the window seems very similar, if not identical, to the current model's...

The side sill extensions or blades look very cool. In good company...

My impressions:
  • Perhaps a bit of a long-nose, pony-car-proportioned EVOS in general styling.
  • A bit smaller than the current car, with more finely drawn details (A pillar for example).
  • Four caliper front brakes -- impressive -- I wonder which model this is (GT at least?)?
  • IRS rear -- welcome to the 21st century.
  • Seems to have a prominent "shark nose" given that you can just make out some of that swirly hypno-camo peeking out under the cover on the front, presumably covering actual sheet metal/plastic.
  • Lower rear valance/bumper area seems a bit tighter and tauter, ditching the lumpy full-diaper look of the current car. Rear overhang seems a bit tighter too.
  • Mirrors have a nice, modern angular look to them.
  • Side "scallop" is a bit deeper vertically, with the lower edge being a bit lower than the current car.
  • Nice wheels, are these off something else or unique to the '15?
Overall: nothing particularly shocking from what can be seen given all the camo and shrouding > slightly smaller, tighter and more modern Mustang with IRS. Nice that some real prototype pics are finally spilling out.

Don't jump the gun on headlights/taillights, people. Remember that GM had Camaro rolling around looking like this

for a long time before it gained its production lamps.

Hey go with me on this. Check out the Need For Speed Mustang. Those blades on the bottom near the door seem to do a little foreshadowing.

What shop? The jalopnik article says otherwise so I'm just curious at this point.

Anyone notice those are shots of 2 different cars? Or the same car with different camo and swapped out license plates I suppose.

All this hype about how it looks is sweet, but from what we can see so far, it looks like it is keeping it's 4x4 ride height.

Yep you are correct. And the 2 with the yellow Caution fuel drain warnings on the back are painted in slightly different positions. So there could be 3 different cars. Or 1 or 2 with 3 different camo covers.

Good catch.

Nice catch on the plates. Seems like they're camping out pretty heavily in Dearborn. It rained yesterday and is nice and sunny, so those pics aren't taking long to hit the web.

Can't believe no one noticed dual fuel doors! Eliminates the need for the little arrow on your fuel gauge to tell you what side the filler is on.
