2015 mustang sketch?

[Mriley]

Sorry if this is really old news or already discredited, but I just saw this article claiming that these are early sketches of the 2015 mustang. I dont know what's with all those funky colors, but supposedly the guy in the pic is a designer at Ford. I figured I'd throw it out there. I know some people on here follow this stuff a lot closer than I do so hopeully can shed some light.

BREAKING NEWS! Motor City Muscle Cars has uncovered the first spy photos showing sketches of the Ford Evos concept car based 2014 Ford Mustang!

Earlier today we reported that the 50th anniversary 2014 Ford Mustang would draw heavily on the Ford Evos concept's styling. The first sketches / spy photos that the confirm that Ford is using the Evos architecture for the new pony car.

The preliminary sketches are from prior to April 2011 and are based on the Evos concept car that Ford launched in August 2011 in Berlin at the Frankfurt International Auto Show. The 2014 Mustang will keep the Evos rear styling and exhaust that exits through the lower fascia. The front end of the Mustang in the drawing appears to accommodate the Evos more trapezoidal shape and larger grille opening. Though we doubt the Mustang will retain the cabin forward styling of these early sketches.

The Evos is leaner and ever so slightly smaller than the current Mustang, but still very mean, and packs the all important visually aggressive stance for which the legendary muscle car is famous for. The newly launched 2013 Mustang GT has a larger grille that hints that Ford is leaning to the larger Evos grille design. They sexy Evos is 9in shorter than the current steed, but 3in wider and 2in taller on a nearly identical wheel base. The production Mustang will lose the fancy touch screens and gullwing doors, but keep the sexy sculpted body lines and fastback shape to become Ford’s first global pony. Hopefully one that will connect well with Gen X and Y buyers who prefer the sleek Asian and European imports.

These are pretty old and I think people were saying this was possibly a design exercise. I sure hope so, I dont know WTH I'm looking at in those sketches. For what it's worth I believe that is Kyle Evans in the pic, he's a Ford designer. Also responsible for this fine render:

I believe that Kyle Evan's has now moved on from Ford now. The render at the top (those are Gulf Racing colours, BTW) looks odd from the front......much like a FWD hatchback.

The second sketch is one of my favourites. Definate GR1 overtones there.

That render in Jackhoya's post reminds me of the Ford GT alot which is a good thing. Reminds me of how great a very fastback shaped sports car can look. I got real high hopes for you 2015 Mustang don't let me down!

What in the world is that drawing on top? I can't tell the front from the back. The left side looks like an ant eater.
