If it were offered in a manual and cost about $25k less, I'd possibly have one in my garageThe Lexus also has a normally aspirated 5 litre V8 and a 10-speed auto gearbox. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery
Thanks for reposting this Twin Turbo.Personally, assuming we're not actually waiting 5 years for S650 (after all, current rumour is it'll be a '22MY in 2021) then I'd rather they just adapt the S550 look.
Haven't posted this red render in while ;)
The DLO is similar, but slightly tweaked and the roof has a slightly more fastback rake. I especially like the return of the "hockey stick" on the side....the S197 had a mild version of this which was, of course, a nod to the '65-'68. The exaggerated rear hips hint at even more muscle.
The rear 3/4 window, maybe (and, ironically, that window design wasn't used on the C1-C6). The rest, not so much ;)
I agree. Mostly the super low hood and roof look somewhat like a Corvette to me. But in a great way. I'd love to see the Mustang get lower and smaller than it is now. With looks like that it would probably lose a couple hundred pounds.
It sounds like a lot on paper but it hides it's weight well in corners. In reality (at least to me) it did feel about 500 lbs lighter than the curb weight. If I had 100k to spend on a second fun car, it'd be a tough decision between the LC and a Jag F-Type R.
If I had that kind of money to spend on yet another fun car, I'd be in a used Ferrari lol. LC and the Jag are beautiful cars with incredible engines, but both have somewhat underwhelming performance
I was thinking this too... Imagine if the next gen mustang got flying buttresses! lolI see a lot of Ford GT in there
These are the design project done by my fellow classmates for last semester class at Art Center College of Design. It’s not official. Please taken them off, or as least give credit to the designers who made them.OK, I'm assuming this isn't official, but someone has certainly gone to great lengths to produce these scale models. I found it on a FB page with no details other than "You saw it here. First. 5 years from now The Mustang. Yes or No"
Whilst its obvious there are two models here, its worth pointing out there are actually different......particularly around the front end (I prefer the one in the second image down, with the larger grille). Sadly, with the images being quite small and low-res, its difficult to make out the details.
After a bit of initial shock, I actually like these more than I thought I would, considering this is pushing the Mustang design forward a lot. My only concern would be the narrow DLO (Day Light Opening - or side windows to you and I!!) and lack of rear seat space. If this were a 2-seater, then no problem, but one of the things that has made (and continues to make) the Mustang a great sales success is its usability (decent-ish back seat & trunk room with good visibility)
Concepts like these are intentionally exaggerated to put emphasis on the design language and specifically show what design cues they'd like to have on the production modelWhy does all automotive concept art have to look like this? Superhigh beltline, slit windows, fat rear, unrealisticly tiny fender gaps. In most cases that gets toned down significantly before production, but when it doesn't (Camaro) the car is worse for it. The Ford GT has bigger side windows. Camaro guys will be making fun of Mustang guys for the slit windows.
Yes we will.
