Happy about bringing back the pointed nose ala 10-12?
Nice find, TT.Checkout this video (Jarstang, I hope it's cool to post it here). It's the KGP video, a mix of what we've seen here before, with a few other shots mixed in.
At 47 seconds, one of the cars turn right, and that light is acting as a turn signal.
At 1m 17 seconds, another car is using them as amber marker lights.
You'll have to forgive me. Can those lights serve two purposes in the US? Certainly they don't appear to be DRLs.
Of course, these may not be the final design or usage of these lights :shrug:
I'm pretty sure the headlights look different because of the wide angle perspective of the camera lense. They are probably the same headlights. The early photos were taken with a super telephoto.Woa woa! .... The headlights look different than the earlier ones we saw of the 2015 face. Everything else seems to match up? Bottom grille/Fogs/mirrors all seem to match up.
I guess the wide angle/telescopic lens stretches the front of the car and makes the wrap-around headlights appear to be more flush against the nose. :shrug: If so, what we saw in those pics could be pretty skewed compared to the real thing.I'm pretty sure the headlights look different because of the wide angle perspective of the camera lense.

I'm anxious to see the back end, but part of me wants to be wowed when they do the official unveiling next year. Something tells me, though, the car's complete design is going to be leaked long before that happens.
I think the 5.0 is going to be a tight fit. That's why they are getting rid of the 5.8. With the down sizing and weight reduction, I bet they designed the S550 small enough where they'll have to shoehorn the coyote in with just enough space for TT's.Also, something about the front proportion is not right. Like the grill opening is too big for the front and the front looks too short, height wise. Makes it seem like a tight fit for the 5.0.
The grill opening and size has bothered me ever since it has been seen on early renders. It is just too big. The top half is comparable to the current front end but adding all that extra open space with the new bottom addition is just way too much grille.meh.. doesnt have the wow factor (opinion based solely on this pic)

eh? i thought thats what the s197 basically is supposed to be....After seeing these "leaked" photos, I am so happy that I bought my 2013 GT.
A year or so ago I was hoping that Ford would do the 2015 as a cloned up-to-date 65 fastback. But they want the younger crowd along with the Europeans. Unfortunately not too many 20-somethings can afford a $ 45,000 + 2015 Mustang GT
We can't know the date this car was made, nor can we know if Ford was prepared for the possibility of an SE--for all we know it may have been a styling exercise from some time ago. I don't know if a new fascia requires crash testing if the bumper structure remains the same. But, yes, I was offering speculation, same as anyone seeing the pics.Do you really believe Ford would go to the lengths of producing a heavily revised S197 as a 6 month SE? With all that entails? Crash testing, type approval etc?
This is S550. It's clearly not looking its best here, with blurred camera phone shots in poor lighting. But this is S550.
The official reveal can't come soon enough :doh:
I'm sure they'll size the grille for aesthetics and then just close off a certain portion to allow the right amount of airflow to optimize cooling/downforce as they've done recently.The grill opening and size has bothered me ever since it has been seen on early renders.
