QuoteAs the venerable Mustang approaches its 50th anniversary in April 2014, Ford is preparing an edgy new design that borrows familiar styling cues, but should make the sports compact more appealing in global markets.

http://mustangsdaily.com/blog/2012/09/07/2015-mustang-to-be-offered-in-right-hand-drive-europeans-version-wont-get-the-5-0l-v8/
Quote"A large part of the project will be to re-engineer the platform to accept right-hand drive, likely to entail re-positioning key componentry from the engine bay and front axle to package the new steering rack and steering column," states the publication on their web site.

European muscle car enthusiasts will also be said to hear that their version of the Mustang might not include the option of the 5.0L V8. "The British Mustang is also likely to miss out on the archetypal musclecar engine — a throbbing 302 cu in (5.0-litre) V8," says AutoCar's report. "Instead it's tipped to be powered by a 300bhp-plus 3.7-litre V6 or a 250bhp four-cylinder turbo EcoBoost, most likely of two-litre capacity."

I like it.

Trying to win over some Aston Martin buyers are they?

I like that red rendering, the front end actually has a snake head look to it!! The blue one  :eek2:
Sold my Charger unfortunately....never got it finished.

im not in favor. the horse in the corral needs to be centered. not the side emblem moved to the front and the horse moved to the back. the rear wheel wells look like a kid took his car to body shop in 1976 to put fat tires under it. :rotz:

                 the front of the blue one looks like darth vaders mask. :shruggy:

Red one looks the best but I agree the red one needs the rear wheels put back under the car!! The blue one is attrocious and I guarantee that will be the one Ford goes with!

Do you really think they are that different?  I think its some optional trim and the angle and lighting that makes them seem different.  I think the red and the blue one are the same? :shruggy:

This is a car that had to evolve. Right now the current Mustang is the last true pony car on the market - big v8 up front and a live axle out back. With that being said, Ford has really done a remarkable job with a platform that dates back to the 1970's. The Mustang will be lighter, a bit smaller in dimensions and will most likely offer a V8, however I'd bet we're going to see a twin-turbo version of the ecoboost engine in there. Turbo's are nothing new to Mustangs. They had the SVO and Turbo Capri's of the 1980's and honestly, they were pretty good cars.

In order for them to compete with the new Camaro Ford HAS to revamp the car. I've driven the new GT500, Boss 302 and actually just bought a '13 GT, however for when it comes to flat out performance in corners, the Camaro wins hands down. Straight line stuff still belongs to the Mustang however. As for Chrysler... we'll see what the new Cuda' offers, but that's still some time off.

I agree that the red front end looks better and they'll probably pick the blue one. 

God, I'm so tired of "angry kitchen appliance" styling on every modern car being made.  That, and "ball of clay dropped on the ground" overall body shapes.


Indygenerallee

Ghoste, both of those are renderings and the red car is different than the blue one by a longshot.

Sorry, looking at it on a very small screen at the moment.

Looks good from the doors forward, but the back end looks like crap. The flared quarter panels with the cheesy little windows has to go.

Looks like a Mustang got drunk and had sex with a Fusion, this is the result.

Really not linking it.

The current body style is sweet, and would love to own one.

It is nice looking, at least the blue version. Not a big fan of the 70's fender flare look either on the red one.

A twin turbo v6 like the taurus sho would be nice if it is less than 30K

Same here.   Haven't been a fan of any of them since they started looking like a regular ford but I've got to say I like the blue.


Tomorrow is promised to no one.......drive your Charger today.
