....is going to look a lot like this:



However, Road & Track is stating that in addition to a 2.3 liter direct inj 4 cyl EcoBoost, the 2015 GT350 will utilize a n/a 5.4L flat plane crank V8 that will redline north of 7000rpm and produce around 600hp.

Interestingly the 4cyl motor is likely to output something in the order of 340hp and will be positioned as higher on the totem than the base 300'ish hp V6. Cooking GT 5.0 Coyote carries over with 420 and change, by using shorter intake runners (that also drop torque, just a shade).

Downside is that from the front, it looks like a Taurus.

I know it's just a 'shop but it could easiy have looked worse and given some of the crap the Mustang badge has been attached to, over the years, it looks pretty good for a modern car (most of which are ugly) and provided it handles like we know Ford can make it handle, it will be a goody.

Are you looking at a different picture to the one posted?
No. Look at any modern BMW and think to yourself "F***, it could look like that!"

Front end it likely to look very similar to this...........it'll also lose the "dorito" rear 3/4 window.




Rear end should look more like this

Not sure on this one. Love the current s197, but not convinced on the 5th Gen Camaro either.

I wonder if the UK will get the Mustang, and if so, in what water down state it might appear.

It's bloody ugly.
Not just a little , but really ugly.
All modern cars are forced to be a bit ugly. That at least looks modern and like they are actually evolving, almost like they want to sell lots of cars, eek not cater for old dinosaurs like you. wink

I have begged Ford to give us a retro-styled Mustang II for years but they don't appear convinced. rofl

Whatever happens, being smaller, it's going to outsell the Camaro.
No, I'm not planning on buying one, I'm a dinosaur too.

I quite like the look of all of those renditions.
Maybe not so much the headlights - but they're OK.
I like the removal of the 'dorito'. Gives it the new Capri look.
