New Mustang Concept Released 56k NO
Pics are big, sorry
I'm not feeling the glass roof or any part of the back end. Other than those, it looks pretty sweet.
Ford today unveiled the Mustang Giugiaro concept — a one-off design study by Fabrizio Giugiaro, styling director of Italdesign. Ford officials aren't saying anything, but there's speculation in the automotive that Giugiaro concept might preview some aspects of the next-generation 'Stang.
Visually, the Mustang by Giugiaro appears more compact than the production car, thanks to a reduction of the rear overhang and a signature Giugiaro “trick” of tapering the angles on the car to the limit of its mechanical outlines. The vibrant orange concept is wider than the production version. The Giugiaros added 30 millimeters to the front, gradually expanding the width by a full 80 millimeters toward the rear.
The 500 horsepower car features a single curved glass panel that bridges the windshield and rear window, serving as the concept’s roof. Produced by Solutia of Detroit, the panel is made from a special type of crystal that filters out 100 percent of UVA rays while providing unfettered vista views. The car's doors open vertically, with hinges at the base of the upright A-pillar.

Looks like the camaro.
It's also impractical. If that thing got into any kind of wreck, it would be totaled almost everytime. The body panels are HUGE and never ending. It would cost like 4K just to get a new bumper or any other piece for that matter.

That **** is badass. I rather the stang look like that then ford try to make a concept of like the fox bodys next or soemthing. That thing looks like a BMW 6 series on steroids. The interior deff has to be re done, but over all exterior wise its just badass.

Yup, looks like a damn Ferrari. I personally would never buy it. Mustangs are supposed to be the affordable muscle car of today. THATS WHY THEY'VE SURVIVED SO LONG
