Thought this was an interesting find.........I don't recall seeing any other of Chris Stevens' ideation renders for the '18 Mustang. I was actually searching for anything S650/7th Gen related, but this one popped up. It forms part of Brad Bowling's story in the Bullitt.

It certainly shows us what was at least one other consideration for the design of the '18.

It has the Shelby Super Snake front end look.

The front curtain design looks more like the camo'd cars we've seen in the past year with the wider "vent" and higher up turn signal.

That certainly crossed my mind when I saw the images! Who knows.....perhaps this may point to what that potential '21MY refresh may look like :)

When was this taken? That's clearly a Mach-E in the bottom left too.

Also that front looks like it may have inspired the Shelby GT-S front.

click the link and it takes you to the story Brad was interviewing Sean and the original Bullitt

Wow, this looks so much better imho. Just like the other sketch das Ford released, I think the bigger lower grille would have been a way better styling for the refresh. To me it flows better with the dropping front.

The sketch on the top right pretty much looks like what we saw on the 21 prototypes, only without the strange turn signal placement.

I agree it sure looks like the camo cars we've seen running around.

These were in the YouTube video when the Bullitt was accidentally (purposefully) shown back in Feb 2017. They were hard to see.

Indeed they were! I wish Ford would invite The Rock back into the studio so they could accidentally (purposefully) partially reveal the Mach 1 :giggle:
