Twin Turbo

The Mustang News seem to think so........

Concept car at Detroit? It'd fit with other Mustang concept timings AND it would steal some of the thunder from the C7 Corvette launch.

I'm not holding my breath though.

Would be great if they do

If i recall correctly the 2005 concepts were shown in December 02 and January 03.

We shall see, but like TT I'm maintaining a healthy skepticism.

Ford hasn't said one way or the other, but I agree with The Mustang News chain of logic. I think odds are better than 50/50 that a concept car will be shown this upcoming season.

Assuming fords recent concepts, it would be close to the production version they intend to put out

Topnotch

From what I was told there will not be a concept before the production version...they are gonna try their best to keep it under wraps until April of 2014. May have a first run of 2014 1/2 editions.
There will of course be the monthly spy shots starting this cold weather testing period. And throughout 2013 we will get some glimse of the overall shape. But again they are strongly trying to keep it hidden until the Anniversary.
Notice that the Corvette is still rolling around with camo and it launches in 3 months. If only Jalopnik didn't have someone sit in front of it for a half an hour and sketch a perfect image it would be hard to tell the look. But I'm sure Ford will go through the same thing. The car will have to be in the hands of many suppliers before launch. So maybe Hot Wheels wil be our first sneak peek.

If the Corvette really does look like the Jalopnik renderings, they may be better off leaving those covers ON the car

Yeah, I figured TheMustangNews were just going on assumptions rather than any hard facts.

Still, I'm looking forward to the months and months of spyshots

I remember seeing the coupe concept at the Cleveland auto show in 2003. The rep told me they would start building in about 16 months. I found TMS in July 2004, printed the order guide in August 2004, and the rest is history.

I wouldn't be surprised to see a "concept" if the design shift is going to be significant. It would certainly get me to bring some canned goods to the auto show this year.

Wolfsburg

I guess anything is possible but I'm not expecting to see anything substantial until well into next year.

JPMotorSport

I'm expecting a concept. Either that or the Lincoln RWD concept. Relatively soon.

Overboost

I'm still anxious to see what Max has in store for Lincoln. I think they'll be more anxious to show that over the new Mustang, since it'll translate to more models and over a longer period of time.

Looking at their last two concepts and their production counterparts (Vertrek/Escape and Evos/Fusion), there wasn't much time between concept unveil and production reveal. If Mustang is slated for NY2014, Detroit or Chicago 2014 could be a place to see a potential successor with cues from the production car.

If it's launching closer to its birthday, instead of LA like previous years, it could go back to Detroit like the 05. (concept or final design)

After reading the numerous threads and articles on the 2015, I am astonished no one has hacked into Ford and simply stolen the information; after all, the DoD can't protect Top Secret information from an autistic kid in England, who spent a year "looking" around the Pentagon. Maybe they should contract out to Ford, who seems to have no problem at all protecting the information on the 2015. Just thinkin....

Posted in Ford:

Pretty much explains it.

As someone who may or may not have held, or is currently holding, certain levels of governmental clearance, I'm of the mindset that some secrets are still worth protecting, and it boggles my mind (especially under this administration *ahem*) that some things have found their way intro mainstream media, and others haven't.

Good on Ford for protecting their secrets!! I'm proud of them, and would be honored to work for them. (Gotta throw that our there in case anyone is watching. )

If only the US Govt would adopt this mentality...

Overboost

As I've mentioned before, the C7 Corvette is a prime example of how NOT to keep a car under wraps. Christmas 2013, on the other hand, is a totally different story.

I'm really surprised there's no leaks from suppliers. At least a dash pad, door handle, headlight lens...something! Look at the Apple leaks! The entire devices are leaked by their suppliers months ahead of reveal...I realize it might be easier to track down the leak and seek legal action, if the part suppliers are American, but still!

Ethanjbeau

The scale of this is no where near the scale of an apple product launch.

Sorry mustang

laserred38

I'm not sure what you mean?
