Mustang S650 Design Previewed by ‘Progressive Energy In Strength’ Sculpture

[Hi-PO Stang]

Take the Fox Mustangs, they did not look like any previous Mustang and sold very well. However, the Fox Mustangs were closer to the size of the original notch back Mustangs and were sporty with the ability to hold four people. I bought two Fox Mustangs over the years and still like them because they were still pony cars with V8 engines.

I really don't care for the look

How about this? Now we’re talking

The grill is more in scale than I thought it would be. besides at 65k it’ll hold its resale longer than a Ford

You did see the BMW badge, right?

I'm assuming this render is from the same Ace from this forum? I like it, even though this take looks more like an evolution than a whole new take on the Mustang. That said, I wouldn't mind if the S650 looked like this, even if it doesn't look like it takes any cues from the sculpture previewed in Hong Kong (perhaps this was made before that sculpture was made public?).

Looks like a Kia with two oversized oven mitts stuck on the front of it.

This was posted on a UK Mustang Facebook page last night. Unfortunately, no details to support it yet, but I assume this is just a design student's study and likely not anything officially from Ford.

Perhaps it's just wishful thinking, but I do see elements of the sculpture Ford previewed in China.

What are the pipes for on the sides ? Venting for the batteries ... ?

I actually like it

Haha.......or perhaps that's where you plug it in

Actually, those side pipes are a sure sign this isn't an official Ford proposal as I suspect the chances of those reaching production are zero (although the '12/'13 Boss 302 did have side pipes.....although they were not visible unless you were on your knees!).

Yes, this rendering is from me. I made it just before the sculpture was revealed, so it's just a wild guess based on how en evolutional design might look like imho.

I already started working making the sculpture into a rendering of the final car, but still have to work on it.

Yeah, the hallway and room in the background pretty much looks like college and not like a workplace of Fords designers. I really like the sidelines, the high beltline is kind of Camaro-ish, but the rear looks too blocky to me to fit the rest of the car.

But you heard them... one of the best sounding exhaust on a car ever!

That’s an interesting hood height and rear deck lid. The hood will definitely need a bulge for the coyote or the 6.8 . That deck lid would never make production but is an interesting exercise.

I dunno, the similarities to the S550 are so great that you'd have to wonder who at Ford would say "You know, I think the evolutionary approach has paid off for Camaro, we ought to follow their lead..."

OTOH, stuff like the rear treatment and side pipes are trivial at this stage in the process - the '15 had three pretty different possible treatments of these details right up to nearly the end. But putting a big round medallion on the decklid strikes me as fannish thinking (not that I don't like it).
