Might work for an SVT (note, SVT, not Shelby) trim level of vehicle.

Mustangs, like it or not, are muscle cars and do best maintaining that image.

This car looks like every other Euro supercar which is not a bad thing but, just different, not "Mustang".

Some might say Mustang needs to go this route, " 'bout eff'n time!" but I bet they sell more to those looking for muscle car heritage styling versus this.

Winding Road said:
The 2005 Ford Mustang captured the hearts and minds of millions of fans and future owners when the all-new model debuted. But the proportions and design of Ford’s first purpose-built muscle car in 30-plus years caught the eyes and sparked the imaginations of a pair of the world’s leading coachbuilders in Italy as well. This will not be the 2010 Mustang concept everyone was rumoring.

So if this is not the 2010 concept what is it? Just the itailians saying it should look like this?

a couple things I noticed

> no trunk
> Windshield goes all the way to the back with no cross beam
> gullwing doors (or whatever you call them) ain't gonna happen on a US car
> Tail lights wrapping up over the backend? What, are we signalling ET to go home?
> Front end reminds me of the new Camero

The styling's a little extreme (after all it is a never-to-be-produced fantasy car) and the interior is nauseating, but overall a nice looking package. I think the only thing we can really draw from this is that Ford is going to try really hard to incorporate a fastback roofline into the next stang.

When I saw the first spy photo of the rear end, I thought it was going to be great.

Now that the whole thing has been exposed

I think it would look good if you put a standard roof on it put the tail lights how they should be and have the doors open the normal way. Might look good with a hood scope also. If those things changed it wouldn't be bad at all. Kind of like this.

A G35? I guess I haven't seen the new G35. Though last I hear they were not making drastic changes to it's styling.

I like the concept car's cowl hood. I like raised hoodlines, just not with scoops. I will be getting the Steeda raised cowl hood for mine.
