Absolutely! I highly suspect the images I found are nothing more than a design student's (very good, in my opinion) coursework and has NOTHING to do with Ford.Guys, you are giving these shots way too much credit. It's pretty common that students or interns at automakers are doing very good concepts and models.
Take a look at this 6th Gen Camaro concept from an intern in 2013.
Ford knows that the current Mustang is a success because of the more classy design. Giving it such a sporty und Ford GT kind of design would be way too unpractical.
No, of course not.Amazing how some prioritise practicality and the size of the rear quarter windows for a performance car. I suppose they should just build an SUV?!
Exactly. Don't get me wrong, I love my Camaro and bought it knowingly that I just want a sportscar and have a 2nd car for practical stuff. But Mustangs engineers hands down did the right thing with giving the car a big trunk opening, actually useful rearseats and a lot of space for putting your stuff in the cabin. If you lose that, you will also lose a lot of customers.But, ask yourself why the Mustang outsells the Camaro? In terms of pure performance numbers and driver involvement, the Camaro trumps the Mustang (at least according to most reviews.....I've not driven one myself). However, as a car to potentially use every day, visibility and cabin and trunk space will matter to some. If fact, it'll matter to those people who would happily cross shop between marques. Or those fleet managers at rental companies who know tourists want to fit a couple of cases in the trunk. Those people make up a much larger % of sales than pure enthusiasts and those are the people keeping Mustang's sales healthy.
Yeah I get that.No, of course not.

Like it or not, a car like the Mustang still needs to be profitable, or we could lose it forever. If that means it's "compromised" from an enthusiasts viewpoint, then so be it.
Ford has a winning formula (and has done since '64) so I don't see them changing it too much as we look forward to S650.
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.
