Hot or Not? 2014 Ford Mustang Concept Car Design

Published by Chris Rose on March 1, 2011 in Mustang Discussion and Mustang Photos. ( View Comments )

There’s no doubt that the Mustang is currently the hottest muscle car on the block, but keeping it that way is going to be a challenge for Ford! In order to lead the pack over the next decade, many people believe that a design change could be in order as early as 2014. This has sparked quite a few renderings and concepts, but I had to pull one of my favorites to show you guys:

Personally I think it looks pretty bad ass! There are some design elements I could live without, but this obviously looks like some sort of GT500 concept, rather than a base model. As the 50th Anniversary model develops, I’m sure we’ll hear alot more about the rumors surrounding the car such as an IRS rear and a complete overhaul rather than developing the current platform.

So I want to know what you guys think about this? Hot or Not?

Tell us why in the comments below!

Do you think they are going to do a redesign for 2014 or wait til 2015? the 2004 was the last of the new edge body style and the 2009 was the last of the first s197 body style before the redesign in 2010… I think the 2014 should be the same as the 2010 and then start the next 5 years with a redesign… that way the anniversary edition can close out the previous chapter… but either way, that design is hot… lol
Andew Bryant

I think it looks too much like the camaro, which im not exactly a fan of, it needs to be its own car and stick to its own design
Kate

I don’t like it. Something about the front end looks too feminine and un-muscle like. The way the hood curves down over the lights makes it look sleepy, and the hood looks shorter than it is traditionally on muscle cars. American muscle is known for long hoods. The back is alright though.
Kate

I agree.
Richard

I’d go with a full fastback profile (‘67-’73 esque), and stay with the ‘66 Shelby-esque rear quarter windows and rear exit exhaust, otherwise I LOVE this concept! I think Ford wants to celebrate the 50th Anniversary with a whole new car, which means the current car will only last through the 2013 model year. And now that there’s a Boss 302, I would LOVE to see what form a new Boss 429 would take!
Gordon Lampley

A skunk has strips too, doesn’t make it hot.
Taylor

I like everything the way it is, except for the large black grill on the front bumper. Should be “thinner.” I like the Shelby-esk flow of the hood to the headlights, but this grill looks like a pair of large lips!?
PrintessLeah

too boxy & too round! needs more sleekness & to look less like a chrylser!!
Antoni

It is so similar to the new Saleen’s body kit , I’m thinking the designer combined available bodykit in the US market to draft this car (Exhaust, Rear defuser, Hood, …)
Ryan

I think it looks like a mix between the new camaro and the newer body style eclipses…..kind of a weird combo
cory

I agree they need to slim it down to big more like a luxury car then muscle…
Denise Jones

Looks good from the front, BUT the rear end still does not look right. Mustangs always had FLAT taillights. Needs to be more like the S197.
Jeff R

Love the side-pipes, but put back the quarter-panel windows and go back to the 05-09 front end.
James S. Mason

Looks great, but from the back of the fender to the rear of the car, it looks kind of Camaro-ish. But it does look pretty amazing.
Randy S.

Like it and love the stangs! But this looks too much like the Camero , think they could do better! Just my opinion , keep up the good work !
Rusty L

Uh…..looks like a Mustang crossed with a Viper and a Camaro. The front borrows heavily from the Shelbys, while that’s not a bad thing; it just makes me wonder what THEY will look like? I’ll keep my ‘08 GT/CS convertible, thank you!
Mike B

I agree with Kate about the hood…and agree with Richard about keeping the quarter windows…as others have said…it does look to MUCH like the camaro…not a fan of that…..LOVE the Mustang to be it’s own…. other than that…it looks good……
Ausitn

Yes, too much of a camaro look. Also, loose the lower rear valence ‘fins’, the car isn’t going to be seeing Ford GT speeds.
Randy S.

Yep If I want a Camero I would get one ! Its hard to find a car with its own personality …say like a charger. Too many (cookie cutter ) cars , come on FMC , make it your own !
Arvin

NOT!

It looks more like Italian cars

Lets keep and preserve the looks of the real Muscle Car!
Laurie

I have an ‘06 GT… I don’t like the rear-end of the 2010+, nor do I like to smooshed up grill… too much like the Camaro… and the rear-end has too much of a “foreign” flavor if that makes sense. Mustang tail-lights are flat and straight… Also, the rear windows have GOT to return. The side pipes are alright, and the hood itself is hungry… but the front end has to change…

My first Mustang was a ‘66 all original… and now my ‘06… I like ‘em.
Chris B.

Sine the 2005 model was styled after the 1964/1965 Mustang and the 2010 model seemed to be styled more after the 1969/1970 Mustang, does this mean the 2014 Mustang shoudl be styles after the 1974-1978 Mustang II?
Paul

Looks like a cross over between viper & camaro Not liking the look!
PonyCarz4Ever

Never liked the ‘10 tail lights, and the nose looks too much like a mistsubishi(t), and you don’t need any GM styling on a Mustang..
I’ve been wondering what they will do for the next car, but not this.
Too hard to see out the back as it is..no 1/4 windows is worse.
And if they decide to make it bigger, like they did in ‘69, it will be Too much like the Cough-marow…How about a MustangII tribute type car?
Stephen P

THUMBS DOWN! I think that a refreshing body style is nice and all but dont mash 3 cars together to make an ugly mustang. keep it simple and most of all MUSCLE!
‘04 GT Kat

Okay well I think the front end looks way too much like the Camero and the back end looks like the current generation. Love the side pipes!!! For the 50 year anniversary they need to do something very aggresive and exotic but make it still look like a member of the Mustang family. You can’t have an Amercian Muscle car cross breed. That’s just wrong.

Cheers from England
Kevin

Completely agree, the 05-09 front end looks the closest to the classic mustangs which also had the quarter-panel windows, the rear end is not bad but could definitely be better
Cully Waggoner

I don’t like it that’s going too far. Too much like a Camaro around front and the fenders. The design should evolve the way the original car did. Design more along the lines of the ’69 Mustang. Bring back the traditional ’68 – ’69 Hood Scoop with the turn signals in the back or the ’70 Mach 1 twin hood scoops low in front maybe even put the Shaker Scoop on it. Needs a Rear Spolier or a simple Rear Wing as well.
William

Hot.. But….. the curves are reminder of the old corvettes… not that its a bad thing… beautiful….. I dont really care for the rear end… but could get over that…
07 GT Dave

I voted for HOT! But I still like the s197 body. Came the closest to the 67 – 69 body. I also agree that the rear fenders are Camaro-ish. Good thing it only a concept and hopefully the designers will stop sniffin Chevy paint.
steve

I don’t like it as much as the 2005 -2009 body type. It does have a euro look to it. I agree, that at first it looks a liitle like the current Camaro. But I think it is more euro.
Brent 65 stang

Ford needs to quit screwing around and build the Iacocca concept car. It is a beauty!
Brad

I will keep my 93 Cobra thank you. The current body style is as close to the 60’s mustangs that we can get with modern design. Too smooth to be a mustang. I agree that it looks a bit like the Camaro, and that is one FUGLY car.
Mike

Those that don’t like the look of the front shouldn’t worry about it. Probably all they’ll ever get to see is the back anyway!
Trez

Nope. The 2005-2009 was the best looking car. It had all the right lines in all the right places. This thing has a guppy mouth and an ugly a**. If it was at a bar, you wouldn’t want your wingman to pick it up. Wanna out sell the Camaro? Put the IRS, 5.0 and the new interior in this:

http://www.autoblog.com/2009/06/22/iacocca-silver-45th-anniversary-edition-ford-mustang-introduced/

You’re welcome Ford. I just sold 1 million Mustangs – and I don’t have a design degree. I just know what looks cool.

And this doesn’t.
Chris

This beast isn’t just “HOT” but “SEXY AS ALL HELL” as well! Damn, I wish I could afford one of these! It just isn’t fair!
Shades

I’ve been a fan of Mustangs for years, but I must say, NOT for this new look! If you ask me, ‘67-70 and ‘05-’09 look the best. The ‘10-’12 mustangs aren’t bad, but not this new crap. Too curvy, too sleek, and just wrong. If they’re looking for something for the 50th anniversary, go for a look that’s more like the original Mustang.
Justin

This is exactly what I’ve been saying since the 2010 came out. It just continues morphing towards a camaro more and more.
Brady

It looks too much like a camaro with a mustang front end
Lou

It is a hot looking car just not as a MUSTANG.
jmizgala

I think it’s trying to look like a ferrari or lamborghini which it isn’t, stick to the roots from wenst you came, decent car but it should not be called mustang and ruin a legendary name.
nate

At first glance it looks pretty good but the more I look at it. It just doesn’t have the mustang style that I fell in love with. A Mustang should look like a mustang.
Mike

Have to agree with Brady and a few others. It looks like a Camaro that mated with a Mustang. Looks decent in the front and Chevy in the rear! Kind of like a high speed collision caused them to morph into a strange vehicle that doesn’t have an identity of it’s own! Makes you wonder if you couldn’t order it through Chevrolet.
Kyle

I agree too. Its too wide… looks like a tank. but still ha the mustang look
Jacob

Hot?…. More like sexy!! That car shows what true muscle is all the curves, the sounds are always perfect and mean! 100% sex on wheels!! I can’t wait until 2020 and stuff like that!!
http://Facebook sean

Own an ‘05. Its unmistakingly a mustang! This is nothin’ but a Camaro with mustang badges!
John

Nice Camaro! This car as lost almost every one of the design cues of the Mustang. Now it has a stupid “grin” as well. Glad I bought my 05 GT when I did.
John

Amen brother!
John

Yessirr!!
Chuck

Too Camaro-esque for my taste. What’s with the “smiling” headlights? Lose the rear fascia too. The side exhaust is “eh”, pretty OK.
Becca

I agree. Too similar to Camaro. Keep it Mustang. Also, rear ‘fins’ seem impractical for typical driving..
Kevin

I love it, has a mean and aggresive look. I see some people comparing it to the Camaro, but to me the front end and grill looks A LOT like the new 2011 Dodge Charger.
Mike

yea. it needs a more rounded of a hood..bumper is questionable
Andy

If this turns out to be what the real car looks like… I’m going to cringe every time I see one drive by. Personally I think it sucks. They say they want to get rid of the retro look and go for something new. This is like a bad in-between. But that’s just my opinion.
George Albrecht

I agree don’t like camaros
George Albrecht

You got it. Take the look of the 71-72-73 Machi and make it new
ozzy

The car looks great just not the front it looks like a camaro.
JamesT

I think it be great for a new car.. as far as a mustang.. idk its got a european look, not really american muscle..ish to me. dont get me wrong i like it but if were gunna go that route i liked the exterior of the mustang concept a few years ago when that Italian designed it, he just failed with the interior
Nick

I agree. While it looks low and aggressive I think a lot of the design (sitting down with bulged wheel wells) is a little too crapmero. I like the heat extraction hood, and I dig the back end. I think if they were to streamline some of the front or on the fenders, it would be more Mustang and less parts bin behind the GM factory
http://DeistAutomotive Derek

sorry but the car is just too smoothed over and is far from street legal, it has no visible side markers on the front or rear. It just looks boring, I would pass even if it was free
http://DeistAutomotive Derek

I would take this car and throw it in the crap pile with all the civics integras, and all the other ricers out there, looks like someone wanted the feel and power of the mustang but wanted the front end of an evo x and the rest like a camaro with some block ass exhaust tips with a curvey body! Just simply, FUGLY
Mike

Before I checked any of the comments my first thought was the C-WORD!!! Come on man. It looks Mustang enough on the front, but the back just says copy-cat Cam-mm-mm-aa-row-row. Same with the bulging fenders. Build a Ford and not a damn transformer, please.
32V-SVT

The rear looks great with what hopefully is a “functional” rear Diffuser… I hope they keep the rear quarter windows since these keep the legacy Mustang look alive. I don’t like the front grill treatment in black which looks a lot like the Audi’s, Mitsubishi’s Subaru’s and VW’s attempt to make what appears to be a larger single front grill opening… Don’t like the headlights angled into a smile either… Very Camaro looking… Hope they don’t change the front end like this at all. They should stay along the lines of the 2011 Shelby GT500 with the front Driving lamps and turn signals. Like what was said above, add an updated IRS, a 6 speed that doesn’t grind the 1-2 shift, and a high powered 5.0 with a supercharger. = )
clevie

It looks good but it also looks like a glorified Jaguar!..here’s what i would doFMC…I’d take a 67 fastback make the glass flush,add todays technology in suspension,interior,lights, with a superchargered 5.4 and a Foose look wheels that tuck…
David

I still say they should bring back the Couger complete with hideaway headlights, using the Mustang platform.
Charlie

looks like a Camaro wanna be to me..
clevie

According to a seven year old girl that just seen the picture. she said the front has big black lips with the stripes that makes it look like buck teeth.lol….kids are our future and I agree with her….need to do better FMC…
Cody

Chargers are hideous, and this looks nothing like a camaro. It looks pretty similar to the 2010 to me, just more aggressive!
Marsha

I definitely agree. Though the new Camaro’s look like the Mustang to me. But that’s just my opinion.
Cody

05-09 was the ugliest body style since the mustang II
Cody

05’s are hideous.
Cody

It looks like a pimped out 2010+, not a Camaro. Sure it looks more aggressive, but that’s allowed seeing as even the v6 puts out higher numbers then most of the v8’s owned by people posting here. Keep trolling because your car isn’t shiny anymore.
http://LimestoneCountyMustangClub Marcus

Well they sorta fixed the ass end of the 2010-13. Its bad ass but looks alot like the Ford GT to me
Stanley

71-73? Are you kidding me? Next to the Mustang II, that was probably the ugliest ’stang ever created!
GT ALEX

Seriously? this car was produced already. and honestly it would take fuck all to make it mass production legal. it wont happen but your reasons aern’t valid at all.
GT ALEX

Its not that bad an evolution. The tail is a bit odd but i could definitely get use to it. I like the front but it needs to be de-mitsubishi-ized. The fender flares are a bit wide too. I would not be suprised to see the mustang go this direction and to be honest, with all the worse designs that are possible, i quite like this one.
Tyler

I think the back looks pretty nice and I like the side exhaust but I think it should mate with the front of the current model.
Bob

Camaro wanna-be? Why in the world would any car want to be a Camaro?
Mustangfuego

I am with you on this, allot of people are putting that they like but I hate the fact that they give it a camaro look also, we need to stick to the more husky look, not this aerodynamic wanna be europe car, this is american and we should keep it that way….!!!!
http://na felipe martinmez

Love it, I would like to see that in our GT”s yesterday. Working @ a ford dealer this change would be well welcomed.
Jeff

I had a 69 Cougar with a 351. Loved that car; even with all its 60’s shortcomings, stepping on the accelerator was a great adventure, every time. It also got about 8-11 MPG. It’d be interesting to merge the two, keeping the existing 2007-ish signature Mustang profile, but with hidden headlights, sequential rear turn signals, duals from the headers back, direct fuel injection, CAI, and an adjustable suspension. Toss in three performance tunings on board from the factory…dull and cheap, perky, and hold on to your yarbles. It’s all out there already, so why not include it and let the more pedestrian of us have a little fun on a Saturday, and then cheap it out on that snow covered road that covers my life 6 months of the year.
Ben

It looks nothing like a camaro. The camaro only wishes it was a bad ass as the shelby!
Tim

Like the front—can’t stand ANYTHING past the side view mirrors.
How about a revise? And why get rid of the “retro” look? That’s what most people love! Why get rid of the things that has kept the mustang the mustang for almost 50 years? Ford needs to be careful when trying to revolutionize this car. They could easily destroy this car’s popularity if they get rid of what has made it so strong.
Zack H

Looks like the new camaro, which I think is hideous! Bring back the fastback look and people will drool over it.
steve

heres what they do for 2014. take the curent engines and put them in New Edge body’s. Meet the 2014 New New Edge
Lupillo

Im not feeling this concept a lil over exaggerated on the body
DavidT

Are you kidding? The back looks like an aftermarket body kit from Xenon for 2010+ Mustangs. The rear diffuser is much too big. The front is more tolerable. There is too much expose recessed lighting at front and back. They have to clean-up, and smooth-out the lines of the front and back by making it blend into the side body shape. The side exhaust looks great if they can sell it showroom stock like that.
Jorja

Hate the grill area and the back…rest is Ok but it doesn’t look like a Mustang anymore!
DJ Butler

The MUSTANG started the retro look.
The rest are following.
I say keep the MUSTANG retro look.
Let the others go to the european look, not the MUSTANG.
KEEP IT LOOKING AMERICAN MADE.
Jorge

Looks like the camaro.But they definally need to change the desing in 50th Annyversary.
http://FB Terry Gofforth

Splitting up onto Pro & Con.

Pro the front end and colors are spot on

Con The rear corners to me shout Chevy Camaro.
Con Rear looks borrowed from an Italian car. For life of me can’t remember which one though but the oval rear has been done before.
Pro It’s a new toy for us mid life crisis lovers. Bring it on.
mario

I think its an ok design, kinda a big jump in my opinion. New model mustangs are always iffy to me when they first come out.
bill

Looks cool but way too radical. Please keep the traditional more in mind come production. This is something Saleen might do to the production Stang.
J. Young

I agree, don’t care for the new, go back to the flat style…
TonyG

Totally not hot… It looks like some weird vacuum cleaner attachment and they need to get rid of those nasty look plastic side skirts with the nasty looking area where the rear diffuser meets the rear bumper. Personally I think they should build a new platform for the 50th anniversary. They should go back to a lighter platform like the fox body’s but make the mustang a modern design. They’ve already went back and done the ‘classic’ style now its time for the Modern. (sick of those Dodge Charger / Chevy Camaro looking lines that come up over the rear wheels too). I’m ready for the ‘Future’ of automobiles.
will

DEAR GOD THAT SHOULD NOT BE CALLED A MUSTANG……THAT LOOKS LIKE SOME FANCY SHIT OUT OF EUROPE NOT TOUGH AND ROUGH AMERICAN MUSCLE. I WILL BE WONT BE ABLE TO SAY THAT I LOVE MUSTANGS IF THAT THINK MAKES IT TO PRODUCTION….LOOSE THE AERODYNAMICS, THE DISGUSTING RICER DIFFUSERS, THE MICROSCOPIC HEAD LIGHTS, THE TINY RACING STRIPES THAT LOOK LIKE PIN STRIPES, THE TOYOTA TUNDRA GRILLE AND THE ROUND AND BUBBLY BODY! 05-09 “WOW” 10-CURRENT “EHH CAN LIVE WITH” 2014 “DISGRACE” ********MUSTANG COBRA II ALLLLLL OVER AGAIN********
kevin

looks cool, but it leans toward looking like a camaro too much
kevin

best idea i have seen on this post.
Eugene

If you actually look at cars in general over the years you will see that all cars have similarities in appearance. Do I think the Mustang is morphing into a camaro? No The mustang has always kept its iconic lines which are always subtle yet noticeable on every model remember the mustang was first to production before the new Camaro the 2010 stang is based on the 05-09 model with more curves and little more flare same as the 99-04 models were to the 95-98.
JP

I agree with the comment that the front end looks ’sleepy’ and the hood appears too short for a muscle car. I also don’t like the black plastic coming up the ass on the rear, which wrecks the 2011’s as well IMO. Still, it’s a Stang and hotter than most boring production cars on the road.
Thomas

I agree that the grille is off. The upper half is fine, lower opening needs raised alot if not completely closed. As for Camero looks, I’d say its the top of the rear quarters when looking from the front that gives that impression. Hate the back end. Suggest they start by getting rid of the “crowning”, straighten it out, add a wing. ‘07 was last rearend I liked, been too Euro since.
Jesse

This is soo stupid..Lee Lacocca would be pissed. I’m a mustang owner and the biggest ford fan ever and i can honestly say that i don’t want anything to do with this car. camaro wanna be all the way.
steve

Not liken it, It look like the GT500 with a Camaro face lift. and Im noy liken the 2011 stang with there European look, let them have there BMW and Porsche, Farrai and lambo’s, and let us stick with the stang camaro, charger, I own a Stang and they should not un-americanize our history in Muscle cars
Greg

honestly, it may be just me but i hate to see these cars get more and more futuristic looking. i know its just me being stubborn because its inevitable that this would happen, but the more dependent on computers and electronics these cars become, the more upset i get. i got my first mustang when i was 16 and it was right about the time the honda civic became the most abundant car on the road. i hated them and was so proud my car wasnt a computerized whiny peice of crap. seems as though those days are about to end…
http://elitestangs.com Jeff

This is a joke,right? It’s a Ford badged Camaro,right? That thing looks hideous from the rear. If I wanted a eurocrap car,then I would buy a eurocrap car. This is supposed to be an American icon,quite trying to make it appeal the eurocrappers. As someone stated above,even if it were free,I would pass!
Christopher

The front grill, headlights, taillights and rear decal area are all squished and the hood and truck are sloped too much. Its taking away from the mustang look and more like an import.
http://www.islandclassicmustangclub.com/ Sammy

Great concept however the center of the front bumper need to have some color (it looks like an EVO), the trunk lid is two round, looks to thick from rocker panle to the side windows take out two inches and your good, wide stance is very good for handling but dont make her any longer than the S197. Make her small like the Fox or SN95 but wider, and drop the 5.0 down and back in its sadle. Most of all dont let her look any thing like any outher car but a Mustang.
John

The mustang cues are too distorted,It looks more like a comaro/challenger the front looks like the 500 not the 67/68/Elinor mustangs,which in my opinion are the best.
Nastier03GT

Has anyone even looked at the original muscle cars from the 60’s and 70’s? Ford, Chevy, and Mopar have been stealing styling ideas from each other since the begining. People that don’t know cars that well can’t even tell the difference between the early Camaros and Mustangs. With the move back to the retro styling, of course they are all going to look similar. It has to come down to performance. The look is the look, I just want it to walk the walk…
Shawn Krawetzki

I think all the dodge cars look the same – at least in the front end – only slight variations… The Charger, Magnum, and Avenger… the only one that really has personality is the Challenger if you like a giant boat!
Shawn Krawetzki

I am with some of the others – to european. The 2005 – 2011 cars have been so popular because of the American Muscle look to the cars. I also agree it has way to many Camaro cues in the body lines too.
Stan Goodwin

I agree, to Camaro like
JoNNy

if they want people to buy that then it would have to be no more then 26oo in weight but they should go a little back to the 04 style front bummer
james

I dont see it Looks FORD to me. Put new 389sohc with a big screw
Erick

Looks SEXXXY!
Gene-O

they need to at least get the grill back to the 68 look. That grill and profile lines define Mustang. Heck for the 50th how about pick up more on the 65 lines and grill
Jon

2014 is the 50th anniversary which is why they are doing the redesign then. Nine years is long enough for the s197 platform lol. They need to update to keep sales up with the competition.
This design is the best concept one I’ve seen yet!
Daniel

I agree. I just bought a 2011 5.0. its fast dont get me wrong. But all the pedals are hydrolic, the trany is nice but its so smooth i feel like i may break it if i get on it to hard. My 04′ Mach 1 however, has a VERY heavy clutch, heavy throttle, you can hear the air being sucked into the engine and the sound coming out the back rattles windows… im just saying that muscle should look and feel like muscle. not just have iconic badges glued to the sides.
Melissa

Yeah, that’s what I thought too.
Jimmy

The only thing I don’t like is not that the cars is wide cuz the wider, the better proportioned and the better handling. It is just too big, I wish next generation to be lighter, smaller and wider. But indeed looking muscular. I wish a concept out of the 1987-1993 5.0, those were small and light cars, and good looking.
http://TeamShelby Erik

I, for one, don’t like the fender bulges. they look wat too much like the Camaro. I would have though Ford would have come up with something better for the 50th anniversary car. My ‘07 Shelby looks very much like the ‘67 coupe my family owed. I was hoping for more of a throw back.
Anna

im not crazy about the front end but i LOOOOVVEEE the back end. also, if you follow the link you guys provided, i love the drawing of that mustang there. im so excited for the new model, I cant wait to see what they go with
Jarrett

Looks good but not for a mustang. They are leaving the American muscle look behind with this. Do what dodge did and bring back the old look. Bring back the 67 fastback or the 70 mach 1 with just updated with modern engine, suspension, interior, lights and some appearance tweaks.
Randall Barton

The one thing that I like about Mustangs is that stayed with the old muscle car look from when they were conceived. The rest went to this ‘what the heck was this look’I really really did I mention I really don’t like this can I be a camero like that they are doing
Timb

the mustang has not always kept it’s lines. for example the 1979 foxbody stang looked nothing like a mustang. unless you include the blue oval and the pony badge as design ques… this 2014 rendering looks horrible. for a stang. as a euro designed car sure it’s not bad. but wth would i want a euro stang?
Greg M

It’s bad ass as far as a car goes but as far as a Mustang it looks TOO much like a Ferrari!…
miguel a morales

Ford does it again. wow. you make them well buy themm we could use a few more options..pleasebig numbers on the dash for thebaby boomers who need so much help.
Mat

I couldn’t agree more, not only too sanitary but are way too porky. Lets get back to the size of the fox body.
Tracy

my first thought of the grill was that it looked like a dodge ram grill!! and losing the side windows definitely takes away from it. Backend rounded like that reminds me of some rice cars .. guess I’m just not seeing the “american” in this concept car ..
jds4191

I say that the change needs to be in 2014, that is the 50th anniversary of the mustang, and therefore it needs to be when they do the major change
Brian

looks good but reminds me of the new Camaro (at first glance) took me awhile to get used to that car…
Ryan

The front end looks awful! the back is kind of cool. Go back to the 05-09 look.
http://americanmuscle michael labar

i have a 2010 gt 4.6 love the car,i got the car because i like the retro look of the fastback i dont see it in this one no side window camaro look in front end lots of curves 2 it looks good but not a retro mustang and thats y fords sold a lot of them not this camaro
Jimmy

You got it, that’s the rite size!
Sota

I drive a 2000 GT and couldn’t agree more! The 1999-2004 was a great model.
Armen

OK, this is the most amazing looking mustang ever, it looks like a european race car…I would definately buy this car. by far my favorite looking mustang ever to be made..keep the design its beautiful.
Kory

EXACTLY! And this concept even has some flair of the new Camaro. I’m not crazy about it, it’s a Mustang keep it that way! Not bad, but just not what I would have hoped for.
Kory

EZACTLY! It’s a Mustang, this look says Camaro wanna be!

I love the new models but I think Ford needs to back pedal a little and design a smaller Mustang like they once were. Keep the 5.0 and drop the weight and size of the models and you will really have a beast.

I would love to see a modernized 4-eyed Fox Body. Go back to sharp distinctive lines but stay modern with an old school twist.
Dom

I think the tail lights should be more old school but bigger than the ‘67. III III (Each of the three’s having a chrome “like” edging around them with the cars colour all around the tail lights and a flat “bridge across and between the tail lights. Also make the tail lights stick out more. (Not tucked in like this demo car.) I would also incorporate ‘67 style functional quarter window louvers that can open and close. Simplify the head lights to be round (More like the ‘05 head lights) and also remove the lower half front grill replaced with just a solid panel that is of the cars main colour. Keeping the upper half front grill as is. The 67 fastback has got to be the inspiration for the 2014 Mustang. (Not so much like the Ioccoca car either. That car looks too Buck Rogers to me.)
cato

99-04 best models.
DavidT

It looks like there’s a car inside and you have to peel off the outer shell.

It looks like there’s a car inside and you have to peel off the outer shell to see the car that’s inside.
Dylan

Alright i will admit that this design is cool but i say that yall should make it a little less curved beacause i liked the body style from 1990-2004 really bring that back i wouldnt mind making a concept i’d really like to see those body styles again it’d make a KILLER look!

THANKS DYLAN E.
Lockup

The rear end is still ugly! Bring back the 05-09 rear end.
Matt

I like this look a lot as far as futeristic design, but as far as the classic mustang look i feel like it does not do it justice. Yeah its a really mean looking car and i would love to own this car, but it just doesnt look like the classic mustang enough. I got a 06 gt and that is the perfect design in my opinion. It integrates a modern touch to the classic look perfectly.
DOMINIC

I would give my 08GT and firstborn for one in black.
Jeremy

Kick-ass ride! 1 question, though; Why no quarter windows?
Michael

I think this concept design is just a cheap cop out. 2014 will be the 50th Anniversary edition and the Mustang deserves more than a watered down GT500 design. Fist off, leave the gaping maw looking grill/front end look to Mazda. It doesn’t belong on a Ford. Second, lose the oval rear trunk panel. I dunno who thought that was a good idea, but it doesn’t call to mind any of the heritage of the Mustang. Last, if you’re going to do a major redesign, which the 2014 should get, be original and stop modifying an S197. This concept would fall on it’s face and be one of the lowest points in Ford and Mustang history.
DirtyGirls

yeah agreed with the size bit. the 2011 weighs about 800lbs more than my 97 Roush… 3785lbs to 2980lbs
john

like the car but the rear end of it need’s to change its to round .
Kevin

For those who see GM, Mitsi, or Dodge. Buy one of them, if thats all you can see! It says Hot Ass Stang to me. It’s fresh and it’s clean. I want one in my driveway.
Brandon

This screams Aston Martin DB-9 to me.
Mark

It’s smoking. Change is good.
Alex

You need two BIG round lights on the bottom grille. That would bring back the look!!
Looks so great I cannot believe 9% of the people as of right now have voted “EH, WHATEVER!” but I suppose indecision is somewhat part of the human nature.
Let me see what it looks like with two big round driving lights down there. haha! Great work, love the rear! It’s perfect! It’s a futuristic muscle car. TOP GEAR would have a lot of fun with one of these.
Jesse

ya I don’t know the front looks like a 2010-2011 shelby i never liked that grill and the rear looks like the saleen hate the side exaust still hate those goofy tail lights the should be rectangle I love the coke bottle rear quarters and the gap from the roof to the end of the fender are perfict but I agree with alot of people the mustangs are getting way over wight and defanitly needs to go on a diet and i think there getting to refined there more like cougers than mustangs I remeber when you could get a fox with manuale windows manual locks radio delet and for the love of god don’t be putting a irs in it I like the live axle and they can handle the power dose any one remember the irs in 99- 04 cobras ya I rest my case any was i like the car just needs to be looked at and changed a bit from the desiner
Derek S

looks like an exotic car. if i wanted an exotic car id go to a ferrari dealership. theyre losing the muscle car edge with this.
justin

it seriously looks like they copied the back end of a ferrari.. but the front is ehh. i suppose could b a tiny better then it would b really cool. but.. the car how it is, is good. i suppose but as a few other people said. maybe not 2014. more maybe 2016. i think.
Cedric

it looks very slick and modern day-ish, so i like it for the most part. i dont like the front double grill look though. it does look sort of like a camaro though like the guy above me said. would like to see some small modifications to make it look more like a mean muscle car
Chuck

I agree,although I do like the overall look. It appears a GT500 head a collision will a Camaro and a Ferrari.
Jacob Boere

totally agree looks like a camaro. IT NEEDS MORE BODY LINES. as a body shop owner and proud owner of a 02 GT if u get in a wreck with that design on the rear end, you have to replace the bumper wich is connected to both quarter panels and thats a nightmare lol.
JOSH

It looks cool. i wonder how close it will be to the concept. the side pipes will not be real or will not be there. dot says that they have to exit over the rear wheels from the factory now. that is why the 97 f 150 had it before the rear wheel and the 98 up models didnt. they got fined for it.
this thing has a supercar look for sure.
Mel

I agree. It looks too much like a Camaro. Yukk. Hated the New Body style from the get go. ‘05-’08 looked the best. Awesome retro look. Come on Ford, get a grip on reality and stop trying to copy the European look. Go back to the original basic body design used in the 60’s and early 70’s.That’s what’s gonna sell to us that grew up in that era. Look how popular Challengers are because of that Retro/Old School look.That’s the way that Ford needs to go.Sorta of reminisant of the Late 70’s and Early 80’s when Ford destroyed the Muscle car look with that design..
http://www.americanmuscle.com Blown 4.6L

The new 5.0 is close to reaching GT speeds and the 2011 GT500 is right there already. Its not that it “needs” the rear valence, it just looks cool.
http://www.americanmuscle.com Blown 4.6L

Agreed 100%
Clayton

I think it looks like a greaet car but it does have that european look and also a camaro look. i think the muscle cars are starting to look the same as the years go by now.
Arturo

for what I think look really nice ! but

What do you think on a beautiful Ford Mustang Convertible but with the same style like the hard top like volvo or mercedez that will be something totally new and different !
Wayland

No C-pillar window. I think it’s time that Ford just made the switch to aluminum space frames and carbon fiber body panels
http://Facebook Fast Eddie Gerosa

Way to GM looking , yuk !!! Looks nothing like a Mustang .
zac

this is too much for the mustang. it would be just like the camaro, ok at first then just look worse every time you look at it after that. keep the mustang real american muscle!
I wouldnt mind seeing something more along the lines of the 99-04’s
Mike

I think the new design is like a european look. Its not American at all and as far as it saying that the Mustang is no doubt the hottest car right now is a little exagerated. I love all Muscle cars whether ford or Chevy and honestly the new Camaro is more of a head turner than the new Mustangs.
mark

the s197 was only out for 2005-2009 so um…… do the math that’s not 9 years buddy
John

I think they need to stay american in the design of the new mustang. I understand trying to make the car look like the originals but european is just too much. My favorite body style is the 99-04 totally unique to the mustang line just like the foxbodys. If ford wants to do anything i say to continue to re-invent the past.
Tim

At first glance I thought it was Camaro-esque… look at the quarters. I like the back end, kinda like the 68 Shelby, minus the bottom valence things, which are cool, don’t get me wrong. Overall a cool look, but it needs to perform. That’s a mustang.
josh

It needs side back windows.
Andrew

lost the top or the bottom grill. One has to go.
steven

hey i like ur pov if it says muscle anywhere on any car it shuld be loud and fast as hell u get me and daniel i like that u can hear that
Bob Battaglia

Looks nice but at first glance, with the rounded front and rear, it looks like Camaroish. Square it off.
http://gmail.com swaggerty

Its a nice idea, no doubt about that. But this isnt a mustang. The curving lines, splitter, and huge intake vents are too european for my taste. I still like the S197 look the best.
William

I completely agree, they should end this body style with the 2014’s, and do the redesign for 2015. It would be the perfect way to start the new mustang chapter.
Big Lou 3536

Don’t care for it. I agree with alot of the other guys, looks to much like the camaro. I think ford forgot that this is the concept for a mustang. Keep it oldschool keep it simple. You should never say to yourself ” what the he’ll is that? Is that a camaro ohh no it’s a mustang”. When you see a mustang there should be no doubt its a mustang.
Gil Valdez

I did a side-by-side comparison of the 2014 Mustang concept with a 2011 Shelby GT500 and the front end is almost identical with slight variations with fog lights and turn signal markers. I like the diffuser rear end, but don’t care much for the bubble look and single piece rear bumper – as one of the poster’s mentioned, this would be a body shop nightmare. I own a 2006 Mustang GT and still prefer the equal length vertical tail lights like the vintage ones as opposed to the new 2010+ angular ones. I added Raxiom 2010+ tail lights to mine to give it an updated look, while still maintaining the vintage look. The side exhaust is a nice touch, but the average user may not appreciate it and like the burns.

Although I think a more aggressive body style would be the way to go, bottom line from a business perspective is FoMoCo needs to continue building Mustangs that will appeal to the masses and not a select few. Otherwise, sales will plummet and the breed will die. I don’t want that to happen since I’ve been a loyal fan since High School. Live long and prosper, Mustang Sally!!
jay

i dont like the side exhaust
Jon

actually..umm..buddy. The s197 is the platform which is still in use and will be until 2014. sn-95 is 94-04 (99 is usually called new edge sn-95) and fox body is 79-93. although technically the sn-95 is a variation of the fox platform. therefore the 2011 is STILL s197 platform. buddy
Cody

na, i feel the exact same way, i hate how they keep making the mustangs more and more rounded. They need to go back to the old edgy look and sharp look of the rugged, pure power of the mustangs.
Matt

i agree 10000% they need to keep the old school look with the the mustangs. thats what they are about. this is way too european. the mustan is an AMERICAN ICON. they need to keep it that way. big motor, mean style and super loud.
Frank

the new design is very stunning. the side exhaust is a bonus and the rear looks amazing. the only thing i find a bit wierd is the front. that and that there is no small side window like most mustangs but hey its a design. and overall its pretty sick
Sean

I agree with Charlie, too many of the body style elements look way too similar to the new camaros. It’s a radical design and I kinda like it, but I wouldn’t want to drive Ford’s version of the camaro with a face-lift.
Javen

Come on Ford. WTH, the new mustangs are already going to a camaro look. Why can’t we keep the mustang with the old iconic American Muscle you started out with? The 05-09, Ford came back with a bit of a new Retro look and it sold like crazy. This new design doesn’t even have the Quarter Windows and no rear wing stock. Not to mention the 2010-present, the front-end is getting closer to a hint of Dodge and the back is definitely like the Camaro. I do agree with the effort of trying to make new futuristic cars but this is horrible, doesn’t look like any type of American Muscle at all. Looks like a mix of a Ferrari, Camaro and a little lamborghini or Jaguar on the front. Fix it Ford, and do it the right way.
Thomas

would be ok if it still had the rear quarter windows. idk about that rear bumper….i think the gt500 engine should be a 351 supercharged IMO. if they can keep up with a smaller engine imagine what ford could do with a bigger one
http://americanmuscle.com Marc

The Mustang will never be a whiny piece of computerized crap. But with technology comes electronics, computers, and the uselessness of mechanical controls. Smoother acceleration, transmission shifts designed to keep you in your power band and for the love of GOD and all it’s predecessors, this Mustang now is the most powerful ever built by Ford. What’s funny is, this sounds like the same conversations in Mustang magazines back in the day when the 86 GT’s became EFI cars….”It’s the end of performance!”
http://americanmuscle.com Marc

True Jon, I’ve even heard Fox 4platform
Pat

The Side-exit exhaust would be great to see on all V8 Mustangs in the future, but this design is just way to curvy for my taste. I’d really like to see them stick with the S197 retro style to be honest. Muscle looks its absolute best when it’s this hulking monster approaching in your rear-view, followed quickly by an ear-splitting roar as it passes. The Challenger is the perfect example. One look and you know you don’t want to mess with it, something the Stang really had ‘05-’09.
http://StangsUnited.com George

While I really like the overall design you have there I do think it is time for Ford to downsize the Mustang , make it lighter….something closer to the original sized 65′ Mustang…that said I do like the fact that it still looks like a Mustang although a more modern version. Time to step into the 21st century and employ a world class IRS while the’re at it.
Fuck Daniel

It’s “hydraulic,” dumbass.
Jay

I think this concept is ok. It has a large similarty to camaros. They should try some skechests of a remodeling mustangbased on da fox bodys except awhile lot more modern look same way they based the look on05 based on the 70s mustangs.
srtyder

the back kinda resembles a toyota supra, but i think its a sexy look for an amazing car
http://facebook.com/shane034 Shane Yarrington

nice …
Spinbad351

Its looks good but the front end reminds me of the latest Nissan Skyline..they should make the grill smaller and one solid color…as far as the lines looking like a Camaro, it was said when the first Camaro came out, back in the 60s, that it looked like a Mustang…just change the over sized jumbo grill and it would work…
Cory

would definately own a mach 1 over a new GT, even if it doesn’t have as much power, kenne belle or vortech help us out with that problem…

i have a 2002 still pretty sharp, turns many heads and it’s stock besides the catless flowmaster exhaust she rattles too =D
Durden

I think they need to bring back the fox body
Charlie

I like it, it looks hot but it looks to much like the cameros and that I dont like. They need to come up with a better design.
hater

look at it this way a futuristic stang is better than a shitty little rice burner either way
clayton

Yeah its hard to get on the band wagon when we have fell in love with the current and past models but i think your right change is good. I hope they can find a way to lose the weight though. people want to much from there cars now. just make it faster than the others! lol… price goes up with all the glass roof and nav stuff. at the same time i want my daily driver to have nice stuff like that too. Im getting a late 80’s early 90’s 5.0 and keeping it simple. lol…
clayton

true that. concepts are always wild though.
Amanda

i agree i think it looks like a camaro in the front and kinda of a viper look in the back. It shouldnt look like that people shouldnt look at that 2014 and think well that just looks like something else they should look at a new desighn and say now thats a mustang, therefor i think yes they should stay with the 94-08 body styles because thats what a mustang should look like (all american and all muscle).
Thomas

Looks like a retarded ferrari
http://am will

it looks to exotic for a muscle car.
Bob

I’m not that impressed with it. Looks too much like a Camaro, and being a Ford man, well……….
Tim

This is HORRIBLE!!! Looks like the new Camaros. No classic styling whatsoever. I would lose all faith if they went with this design. Looks more like a Ford GT than a Mustang.
Bobby digital

Not to big on the jap\euro look, id prefer a more retro style but better then the 2011 on my opinion. I still prefer a 05-10 look
http://shep1860@sbcglobal.net shep

I’m glad that I bought a 2008GT. Like the sharper lines and not the rounded lines of the newer ones. It is like what they did to the Thunderbird when they reintroduced it. They went from the crisp lines of the 1955 -1957 birds and rounded everything about the new ones of 2000’s and completely destroyed the concept of a personal sports car
Bev

This “new” design is just old European – big whoop. This is America and our muscle cars should look like OUR designers created good looking cars with THE USA MUSTANG in mind. The retro ‘Stang is beautiful & we should be excited when we see news models on the road, or drive one. And, above all, any and all new Stangs should sound like a Stang – keep that rumble of a herd of Mustangs – USA Mustangs. Signed: proud to be an American and owner of 3 Mustangs.
jim 5oh

hello guys/gals now i have had 86,89,91,93,96,03,and now 2011 5.0 by far the most refined ,2014 eh! to camaro like also someone commented on the weight of the’11 i had mine checked at the local land fill no where near 3785 it tipped in @just over 3500 w/half tank of fuel,no driver
Al

Well, it certainly is a change from the current body style, but as far as I am concerned that is good. I much prefer my 06 with a few modifications, ducktail rear spoiler, rear quarter window Shelby style scoops, and a little more aggressive front fascia, not busy but a little bit meaner looking. compared to the current style. I can see the resemblance to the new Camaro, especially in the rear quarter, and I agree, lets let them continue to follow us, not the other way around. I know you have to change things up every so often and I guess the new style is fine. I do like the way it tries to pay homage to the greatest Mustangs in my opinion at least, The Shelbys, just don’t lose track of what it is, A Mustang.
Kenneth Edwards

I personnaly think the need to keep the Mustang looking like the 2008-2009 mustang may-be some minor improvements, a bettet cover under the back end over the gas-tank making it the same color as the car,it would be nice to see some greease serts on the front suspension like the good old days. The newer cars look ok, we don!t need to put black-diapers on the back,and make the nose look like Dodge-charger, after all we drive mustangs the best sports car on the market,I think.
http://none ray

after seeing what the future looks for the mustang, am so glad I have my 09 shelby gt 500
Scott

My vote’s HOT, except for that humongous tacked-on Audi grill – looks like a bulldog setting up for a big, wet kiss, which is totally out of line with the flowing, muscular design of the rest of the car. Other than that, I like how this concept keeps the angular creases of the current design (themselves a throwback to the taut, perfectly balanced lines of the 99-04 mustangs, of which I own a 2000 Performance Red convertible) and plays them off the sweeping head-and-taillight fairings and bulging fender flares to make the car look like it’s moving when it’s standing still.

It’s still instantly recognizable as a Mustang, just sleek and powerful the way the GT-40 was. It’s a big step in the right direction, and blows Chevy’s ham-fisted Camaro design clean out of the water.
http://noen Tom

This has Kamero lines.
The hood is ok, but the black intake resemble a large mouth bass. Please!
What’s with the headlight surround? Keep working on a look.
Scott

No No No. The front looks like the lips from the Rolling Stones emblem and the back is way too curvy and European looking. That is the problem with the 2010-11 style: the back end is too curved and messed up. When Ford redesigned in 2005, it was perfect: square and sharp edges with overhangs and a muscular stance. Stick with that classic look.
Justin

I couldn’t agree more with everything already said. This looks like a European version of the Camaro. I drive a ‘00 GT with the heavy clutch and the racing exhaust and I love it as a head-turner. I feel like in more recent years, Ford has shifted its designs from classic muscle feel to practicality. I commute 20 miles one way with my mustang and its a pain at the pump these days. The new 3.7 has demonstrated that shift and honestly, I don’t think Ford will buy this concept. I like it for its gnarly-ness but not for its practicality. I wouldn’t buy it unless I had more money I knew what to do with.
Dave

The back end looks like an Olds Aurora. too much grill, otherwise the lines over the rear wheels remind me of the 69/70 style so I like that part.

Anyway, I dont know if anyone said this yet but the new redesign is going to be mandatory, because “the next chapter” of mustang is going to be a hybrid electric car. Need to make room in the chassis for batteries and electric motors. Performance will be “enhanced” because there will be electrical motors on the front hubs to make it a pseudo all wheel drive. It will be some kind of a 6 cly. car, with 200 hp worth of elec motors, and then it will be sold to us as “490hp” or something because of the electrical motor rating. it will also see 50+mpg, but I could give a hoot about that.

I am saving to buy my 5.0 right now. I am driving a 94 5.0, and will shed a tear when the “gas only” mustangs chapter is closed. The Boss 302 is out, the Boss 351 is on the way in a year or two. I hope I have enough cash saved to buy that, as it will probably be the most powerful mustang for the next 40 years, just like the last boss 351 was.
Al

Hey Dave,
A buddy of mine looked at this concept and the first thing he said was “It looks like that Oldsmobile they made a few years ago, from the rear. I still prefer a lightly modified S197.
John

All cars have to contribute to the fleet average fuel goals or they become a liability. How far Ford wants the mustang to be a liability depends on much more than just what a mustang looks like. Almost all cars are morphing toward a sleek, fuel efficient look because of necessity. Look at the European designs, they almost all look alike. American cars, so far seem to be keeping some “brand personality” but for how long?????

The new mustang design needs to maintain that individuality while being a part of Ford’s CAFE goals. Not an easy task when you factor in all the safety criteria and creature comforts we all demand….. I have, since high school wanted mustangs and have owned 3. While a stang is not in my stable right now due to other reasons, sooner or later I’ll have another. I’d like to see the designers maintain the mustang individuality that got me hooked in the first place. It’s a general theme here NOT to take on the camaro look. I totally agree. Keep the mustang’s personality and improve that, don’t blend into the crowd!!!!!
mickie

the frontend and rear looks like crap leave it alone
Tim

Who really cares what it looks like! It better have 800++ horse and better be able to turn it up. Bye bye Chevy here come c Dodge. GET it right FORD!
Colin

i seriously was thinking the same thing! dont get me wrong, i love all those cars, just not together…
Mustanggirl03

Looks like a Mustang hit a Lamborghini & a Dodge Challenger at the same time & this is what came out! Not American or Mustang. Hard to imagine it as a ’stang, but I’m old school & say why change what works?! I wouldn’t buy it or drive it.
bigred

its ok but to me the contours of the car looks like a camaro they should go for a different and their own look IMO
Kenevil

I drive a 2006 Mustang(legend lime). I love the way my car looks and I am happy that it doesn’t look like a camaro. If it looked like a cararo I wouldn’t have bought it. The new style you are looking at looks like a cararo to me and I do not like it at all. I wouldn’t buy one of them if it was 90% off. Make the Mustang look more like it did in the 60’s with a bit of flare and character and you will have a winner… Just my oppion.
curious onlooker

You’re a douchebag
http://okmustangs.com Bill Bradford

2014 is the Mustang’s 50th Anniversary, so a new body would be in style
stevetwnsnd

Look like a Camaro to anyone else? Just my thoughts>
Larry

J. Mays stated the 2014 Mustang will weigh close to the 65-67 Mustang. That means it must shed 500-800 pounds from the current configuration. So all of you wannabe designers need to reduce your carriage weight of your drawings to accomodate this. The Mustangs guidelines are as follows: short rear deck, long sloping hood, dual exhaust, hatchback (yes, it’s coming back), and 3 bar taillights.
Dan

Agreed this concept looks to much like a Camaro.
In addition, the front with all that black reminds me too much of a Pug dog.
Eddie Dixon

I have had Mustangs all the way back to 1965.I have a 07 40th Anniversary Shelby GT500,if it had looked like this 2014….I’d have bought a Kamaro!
joel

i agree muscle cars need to be loud and fast, but most people i know prefer the 99-04 stangs over the fox stang
http://facebook Ray

I think they sold leave the front the way it is and change it in 2016 !!
Joseph

I love the design overall. I think that it does a good job of keeping the good aspects of the 2010 body design while borrowing key aspects from the new Camaro as well. Others will argue me on that point, but I think that the new Camaro design was deffinitely consulted for this one. Especially around the quarter panels and the lines. I really like this mod scheme too and the color scheme really compliments it. I like the widening of the grill. It gives it a much more aggressive look and makes the car’s stance appear more pounce-like. But what I like most about this design is the ease with which it can be modified. I can see some great body kits going on this thing especially ones that can hearken back to the old 60’s Stangs that everybody loves. Louvers, vents, and spoilers are some of my favorites, and who knows, maybe even a Boss kit could be in the works. It would definitely fit this aggressive of a look perfectly!
Joseph

Oh yeah, LOVE SIDE-EXHAUST!!!
Sandy

Looks way too much like a Camaro, as does the 2010+ body style. As for making it look like a Fox body… hell no! Nothing about the Fox body even closely resembles a Mustang. The ‘05-’09 Mustang are the only ones that even come close to looking like the true Mustangs of the ’60’s. I own an ‘06 GT and although I love the new power trains they are coming out with ie:302’s, I will keep my ‘06 rather than go to the new 2010 body style or this ungodly 2014 concept.
James Knight

If you look at the back of this concept car then look at the back of a lotus elise then you will see a lot of similar qualities. I think ford is trying to go Italian and we need enough support from everyone to keep it ALL AMERICAN!!!!! So everyone tell them how you feel about your new 2014 ITALIAN MUSTANG!!!!
lance

Looks like some of the MUSCLE has been taken away, its bad looking but just dont have that BULK MUSCLE look , like the way they brought it back in the 2007! Hey I am a loyal mustang guy, its bad looking but not say maybe TOUGH look is not there.
Greg

How about a GT500 with a FORD GT Supercar front end and the rear of the FORD GT Supercar as well. Somebody please come out with the design quick. These 2 cars someway have to integrate to compete with corvette and keep FORD GT Supercar the way it is and add more power remember the Ford GT90!!!
MindlessMinion

Despite all there flaws, I like my S197 but understand that Mustang sales can’t rely on baby boomers forever and it needs to forge ahead to attract the under 50 crowd.

If the Mustang is done with its whole reliance on a Retro theme then they should depart from the current design completely. This concept here looks like some lame camaro wannabe, kiddie hotwheels twist on the same old thing. Who they trying to kid?

If they’re going to forge ahead and push the envelope of American automotive excellence in the muscle car realm rather than solely rely upon past history, then they better come up with something better than this.
nick

they’ll probably have a brand new mustang for 2014 seeing as it is the 50th anniversary. that’s my thinking atleast.
J_rod24232

i like it, and you can see some of the past generation of mustangs in it, for example look at it in the rear end picture, what do you see, i see the 94-98 mustang door and roof look to the car.
Caco_n1

Very nice, this car has a old school yet slick sports look i would definitly love one.
Anonymous

I’m with you Sandy. Have an ‘06 GT conv. and do like the increased HP and 6 spd of the newer models but not the body.
Rhonda

I have a 66 Coupe and a 07 Shelby but won’t be adding this one to my collection. Don’t like the new front end or the back for that matter so I guess if you look at it front the side it’s ok. Go back to the back end you put on them before the 2010 model and the front end on this one – too much of a bottom grill and headlights are too small for all that grill. Just doesn’t have that Mustang feel. Don’t mess with a good thing.
Loliverre

Looks like a Camero wantabe!!!! I love my 69 & 06 and the retro — don’t mess with a winner!!!!!!

i like it when cars look like there ‘growling, if that makes sense. this one kinda looks scrunched..id rather see it with the wider face and tail, so it looks like its growling at you when your coming down the road

id also like to see the new mustangs sleek, like a ferrarri look if your looking at its side, and the thivk growl face, like the old ‘christine’ car. i love the 2009 style, thats what i drive, but they should try new stuff.
Celis34

im sorry but this looks to much like the camaro..fuck camaro’s…and its getting too flat or wide from the sides and it makes the hood look weak you guys gotta bulk up the hood area make it look tough like the eleanor…
Bobby

Overall, I like the direction that ford is going with this. Im not a fan of the front end. Seems like most arent, I also do see a resemblence to the camaro but its suttle (to me). Luckily this is just a concept drawing. If you look closer it looks like ford is giving us a lot of things that mustang owners had hoped for, for a long time now. Lower to the ground, wider, more aerodynamic, Lighter, IRS, I could be wrong but it looks like it also may be a 2 seater (possible camaro AND corvette killer?), but still factoring in traditional retro mustang looks. Were talking about the 50th anniversary edition mustang here people. I honestly believe ford will be chomping at the bit to make sure we mustang lovers won’t be disappointed In both the looks and performance. I love classic mustangs as much as anyone else, but Im excited about the future of this car as well.

if ford throws this down the production line i’m in…really in. the side exhaust i’m not in for though

If I want a European car, then I’d buy one. I don’t. I want my American Muscle Car….. I don’t like how this car looks like the camaro……
Bobdes368

To European. I will always love 68 thru 70 style.
Bill

Well if this is going to be the smaller Mustang with an IRS rear and would have a 5.4 Aluminum block bored to a 351 engine with the Ford Whipple super charger est. 630 HP that sounds pretty sick It may even take on the ZR1 from the other blog. Personally it looks cool, but Mustang I am not sure I think its loosing the Muscle Car image and becoming a Sports Car maybe even a little exotic. Looks like she’s got a little bit of Italian in her BUTT, From the side you can see the Ford GT coming out and the nose you can see the Shelby but she looks like she has an evil smile on her face which is pretty cool.

Why do I want to say Ferrari. I wonder how much of this would make it into production.

i like the front and the rear all but at the bottom the strips coming out the back are used a little to much i think u shuold find a new idea for that
bob

I love it, however in the front of the vehicle the black plastic has to go. Also it needs the classic mustang 1/4 windows. Like most concepts, its probably never going to look like that.

looks like it should be competing with corvettes and gtr’s, but by 2014 im sure their game will be stepped up even further

The rear valence is too aggressive and the “lips-look” in the front needs to be humbled a bit.

Finally a mustang that can make America proud. A mustang that will handle like a sports should yet still retain that Bad Boy look. I love it. I will definitely buy one.
Kgvision

Very “Saleen” from the rear.
Noah

Get all that Camaro out of there.
DeamonSlayer1969

I think that the car looks great, one thing that we have to keep in mind here is that what good is having an awsome V-8….if the car is having to fight againgst the drag and coefficientcy portion of the design. We all know that the pony cars really don’t have that assistance in their department say unlike the corvette…this shape and design of the “what could be the next Mustang” to me looks like it will help…and we all know, whatever helps us smoke that Challenger and Camaro is what we are all going for…esp since Chevy is bringing the ZL1 Camaro…..and well that car looks like it means serious business!!!
MojoVino

Open up the rear just a bit at the lower corners and I’m on board – going too much toward a Camaro it’s the rear quarter that looks much like the same in a late model Camaro. Front is mean ass! Just a little work with the back (get rid of the Camaro copy stuff) – add a thin side scoop (like the hood) and you’re golden!
Demtrius

I like the concept, and agree it is drifting a little to close to that car with the “c” word. Cut the hip curve out and flex a little more testosterone on the ass end.
Gabe

Looks pretty good I like the black front bumper but what will be the biggest, and in my opinion best, change to the car is when they decide to change the roofline or make it a real fastback or something. I mean you can change The bumpers all you want but once that roofline changes well have a completely different mustang. I like this idea though
Tyler

i think it looks to much like the 10 body it needs more of a change alot more like the 69 70’s of since their changing it i love the foxbodys and a new foxbody would be BADASS especially with the new true 5.0 and 415 hp wow that would be awsome

Reggie D

I like the bulging fenders & sexy lines. I’d like to see small windows (hidden B pillar) like on ‘69-’73. Weight should be around 2,800 – 3,000 lbs. max! Functional scoops not add ons would be nice. My dislikes: Front is swoopier/lower & nicer than the current models but it still looks too much like the current GT500 models. The rear is ugly like it is now, yukkk! Rear should be more flat like a Corvette/’71-73 Stang with rear window tapers down toward the back like most european & Japanese sports cars. I’d like Mustang to be above & better than Camaro but beats a base to mid level Corvette. Go Mustang!!!

looks great and will go down in history as the best looking ever. would like to see quality materials and features. keyless entery & start. tilt / tel wheel, great electronics and options for 7 or 9 lb supercharger on 5.0 gt

nice looks agresive
SPCChavez

looks nice but no rear quater panel means bad blind spot and if you put that on the coarse thats very dangerous. im a big fan of side pipes on stangs but that ass is just too big. starting to turn into that wide maro. ford just needs to keep it clean and light. right now thats one of the biggest reasons we’re beating those slomaros with the bigger ls3’s. theyre all body no brute. plus for as wide as the maros are theyre actually pretty compact inside. ford NEEDS to stay away from that and change the bodystyle all together after 5 years like they always have. this is just too similar to the 2010 style whichwas similar to the 2005 style.
david

Loved the 2005 retro look but never got attached to that little triangular-shaped side window. This new look eliminates that and I’m giving it a big thumbs up!!
Brandon Williams

that car looks kinda weird in the front. it looks like a wide mouth cat fish but the back and side pipes have me sold. now lets see what the boss will look like if they do it like that
Synyster06Gates

Yeah I think they will do a new redesign for 2014. It’s the 50th Anni of the Mustang!
Sagtbone

The front end could use a little work. The grill area should be trimmed in the body color, not black. The headlight assembly should turn downward or better yet, straight. I want my Mustang looking mead and aggressive. The upward curve of the headlights makes it look…docile, like its smiling.The read fender panel haunch resembles the Camaro. Ford should take another look at the 69 or 70 Mustang’s rear haunch. The rear diffuser is a nice touch but too large, but it does give a mean aggressive look. The c scoop near the rear door should be accented more. The rear talilght assembly is nice, but I long for the 69, 70 or 71 thru 73 look. Give me a little more hint of the past, but I could live with the current look.

//Well FORD did start the Old School body style, And the Camaro did copy that idea, I hope everyone does reaize that. And they are two different cars that will ALWAYS be compared to each in someway.

//I personally like both, they each have different things that interest me.

//All FORD needs to do is get the mustang in a protagonist role in TRANSFORMERS
and everyone will start liking it again.

It’s a new progressive look! But it has a camaro feel to it. Ford is on the right track.

Too much like the present car, except the droopy lower “lip” on the smily face, and that’s to similar to the Adrenalin. Needs a completly new look! Yah… i heard someone say “Camaro”
NeverEnough

I think it is an interesting design exercise. For reality: a Camaro wannabe, no rational greenhouse, cartoon wheels/tires. First impressions: rear is cat with butt in the air, very sexy, dynamic sides with useless greenhouse (even as a 2+2 with the backseat as a bed), front is almost a mustang – too much Audi/Mitsubishi/Camaro/GT-R. All-in-all, it’s a great start towards something more Mustangish (something useful for fast humans).
Fullgallopdp

The front end is okay, but I agree, I see Camaro almost immediately. If I want a Camaro, I’ll go buy one. But I really prefer American Muscle Mustang. Please keep the Mustang essance and Mustang unique styling.
J Southard

I would like the front end more if it had a chrome billet grill. I dont like all the plastic on the rear end. I would like to see a 2014 concept mustang that is a mix of a 69 boss mustang and a 71 mach1 mustang! And that concept is NOTHING like a camaro! ALL PURE FORD AMERICAN MUSCLE FOR THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY!

Jeff Macias

I think the car looks pretty cool, however if it’s going to be a 50th anniversary mustang…which it will probably be…it needs to be very similar to the 60’s version. Kinda like what dodge did with the challanger; if you put one of the original challangers with one of the new ones, it looks almost identical. Overall I doubt ford is going to disapoint, the 50th anniversary mustang is too important.
Anonymous

I like what ford is doing with the 50th. Like most of you have all said with the new looks of it you do not like it very much. Well I’m going to put my 2 cents in like everyone else. people its a concept nothing more nothing less. and for you people that are out there like me i remember in 2004 when i first was the pictures of the 2005 mustang the first thing that came to mind was man i do not like that one bit. needless to say only 3 years later i got myself a 2006 silver mustang GT and it is my baby! and from that day on I had made up my mind that when the 2014 50th year come out i was getting another one no matter how it looks. And i have read most of the comments most of you say that it looks like a Camaro well either way people it still is part of the blue badge and will always be better than that government owned golden bow-tie. right guys?

sad to hear you would have got a Camaro instead of the for just by looking at the concept or not knowing any specs that r in the car. what a shame : (

Reggiediamse

Chill out people! This concept rendering did not come from Ford. You have to remember the car is going global just to make the Mustang financially viable. I have faith that whatever Ford develop as far as design, performance, price etc., it will be praise worthy and it will be AWESOME.

Question: Do you think the Camaro & Challenger can keep the current body styles the way it is for another decade and be competitive? I hardly think so. Ford created a legend a new category of sports car/muscle car (Pony Car) when they introduced the 1964 1/2 Mustang then others followed suit.

The next generation Mustang coming out in 2014 as the 50th anniversary line will again set a new standard that others will copy.

I myself owned a 1966 GT 2+2 fastbck and my brother owned a 1967 fastback and another brother owned a 1971 fastback. We are Mustang fanatics. I liked the 05-’09 styles but didn’t like the 4.6 V8 and I liked the ‘10-’12 Mustangs with 5.0 V8 but the rearend was a downer.

I am excited for the next generation Mustang and I am geting one. I am saving up for it now and no matter what it looks like I know it will be fast and awesome!!!

Cheer up Mustang nation!!! Camaro & Challenger are shaking in their boots for the coming of the one and only legitimate “PONY CAR”.

Peace out man…
Reg:D

You should appreciate the modern advancement of the new Mustangs. The soft pedals will reduce foot fatigue and the smooth shifter helps go through gears accurately and easy = faster ET. This is the same feel with my 540i BMW so cheer up!
Reg:D

Just for your information old looks will not increase sales and be sustainable. This is the future and whether you like it or not the Mustang will go global and modern just to make it competitive and financially viable. Have faith in Ford, just appreciate what it might be, it would still be an awesome Mustang.
Perry Dimarco

first, I always disliked the saleen mustangs for having the extended rear fascia. Second, I like the front end if they do more work to enhance the appearance to mimic a 65 shelby with the fiber glass bumper

Jdowmon

I would like to see the ability to order the 7 and or 9 lb supercharger as an option on a std gt or premium gt. The top should be a svt , without the shelby name and add ons. If shelby wants to keep the name going ford should sell cars to them and they can supply those who want the name. This would be a win win for ford and the ford customer who just wants performance and can afford the lesser price. With the high cost of gas and insurance and inflation this is the best way for ford to keep increasing its market share, volumn will be the name of the game ,, not just the shelby name

this mustang is hot as hell and it should be the new mustang i would buy this car anytime and they should make a 2014 shelby350 concept.

they need to have a gt model and a mach 1 model,the mach will be a fastbach and the gt would have a roofline similar to the 2011 gt

put a ram air hood, sequential tail lights, and a pony/cobra emblem on a camaro.. it won’t look like like the mustang everybody knows and loves.. and neither does this?

Dernjern

I was looking for this kind of post. I knew I’d find one, but didn’t know I’d find it so quickly. Thank you, I TOTALLY AGREE!!
Dernjern

I’m with you. I only wish Ford would leave off that BLACK CLADDING and stay with body color all over the lower parts of the car, since the introduction of the SN197 design. I know why they use it. To make it look sleeker. But it still looks hippie and heavy. They need to SLIM the sides down, so it will look LEANER and MEANER. I hope Ford does it with the ‘14, but looking at the rendering, it looks like they’re stuck using it. No worries though. I’ve owned my ‘03 GT for 8 years and still don’t want to part with it. I thought the ‘14 might change that. Now I’m not so sure ’till I see the finished design.
Dernjern

From what I have understood, this was suppose to be a minor facelift to the Mustang in ‘13 to get the tail lights flatened out finally, and give the ‘13 a shelby front end to keep interest up in the ‘10 design, before the GRAND introduction of the 50th anniversary. Ford realizes they had to do something about that back end.

Great looking Mustang and I am a vette owner. The Challenger, Charger, Camaro, Mustang and Corvette are the muscle cars that I have always liked or owned. Keep them coming…and keep them all bad assed.

No, the Mustang is NOT a muscle car.
Never was one.
It’s a Pony car & will only ever be a Pony car.
Ford hasn’t had a Muscle car since the Torino GT.

The Camaro/Firebird(Trans Am), (Mercury)Cougar, Challenger/Barracuda, (AMC)Javelin were/are all other Pony cars.

The ChevelleSS/Cutlass442/GTO/Grand Sport, Mercury(CycloneCJ, Charger/RoadRunner, (AMC) AMX/Rebel(The Machine model) are all other Muscle cars.
Jetstream

These are merely early pre-production photos or designs, i am sure by the time it reaches production it will look a bit different. The front end isn’t too awful bad at least you can tell it apart from all the other rice-burners and asian crap out there. it at least trys to stay close to the the retro design that we have at hand. I have an 84 GT and an 07 Convertible…Love’em both, but the 07 really does look retro and still turns heads where ever it goes. Short of the rear-end treatment the current car is damn near so perfect, with the new 5.0L GT. As with anything new, it comes with a price…and how much longer will the Mustang be affordable and under the 25K for entry level models. If you add too many toys like IRS and all the other electronic crap, you may well drive the price out of range of a lot of young buyers. My 84 GT was $10,900 loaded out the door when it was new….and my 07 Mustang Pony V6 Convertible was was $25900…new GT’s are near $30-to-35K….at 51 yrs old I am almost done buying new. See what happens!
SaviorRA

The back is HOT the front is NOT.
Brandoncrepeau

i really think that the tail end looks better than the 2010 – 2012 mustangs but it is still way too curvy. i do however hate the way the front end looks (and i quote) like a sleepy, retarded ferarri. i also hate the no quarter windows ,what the hell!!!! at least the body lines look like the origonal with that really curvy hump behind the door. i personaly think they should take this body and put an 05-09 front end on it with a 64-70 tail end (with the completely semetrical 3-bar tail lens) p.s has any one seen the 50th anniversary concept pictures on the newest motortrend it looks like crap please ford dont ruin an american classic like that or like the concept on this page.
Jetstream

I am adding another comment: If you really look at it…it resembles the current Shelby. Now take your finger or piece of paper and cover up the lower fascia, and then think about what you see?
You still see a lot of styling cues from the current GT or Shelby. But rem,ember this is a styling excercise or concept and Ford will offer a dozen variations once it hits production. Just think about all the packages that are available on the cuirrent platform. You can start with the Sexy Pony convertible and work your way up to the fire-breathing Boss 302, and there are coupes and convertibles available for just about anyones budget. Personally I’m fond of the Convertibles..I have an 07. Once it makes final approval for production, and the final design is approved, then Ford will release something to really chew on. from there they will work with their suppliers to get it ready to build. Eventually a test mule be spotted in the Detroit/Dearborn cruising around undergoing testing…until then it’s all speculation. Until then Folks…just have pour yourself a cold one! We have at least 2 years of development time to ponder this car.
Slebeau1568

to truly celebrate the mustang’s 50th anniversary you need to go back to the build sheets of the gt350’s and kr500’s…….use that as a design concept and go from there

If the 2010 mustang or Camaro would have been hatchback i would have been swade to buy one of them instead of a muscle truck.
Nathan

Overall I like the look. Similar to the GT500’s now, but the back end is perfect I don’t think it could look better. I hope they shrink it down to shed some weight so it might be capable of competing with the corvette. Think the aspirated 5.4 needs to go in favor of something else. Anyways I like the cars look maybe change the front end a little but rear is perfect.

David Williams

I live close the Mustang plant in Flat Rock, MI. I have twice seen the Mustang mule (what they call their test vehicle). I have not been in the right lane to be able to follow it. The mule, as they all do, black spots on a white background. There has to be some body change coming. In addition to the spots, they usually cover the back and front so that you can’t see the body. When they are testing the mules on Detroit streets, that usually means they are testing a new style.
Daymon Johnson

Rrs628

Hate the front and rear, it’s getting curvy like every other car out there. Liked the chunkyness of the previous years, that’s what made it look different than all the others.
Karl Aschmann

Hot…but: interestingly the design, although it makes the Stang a killer in its own right, builds a bridge to the 2008 Camaro concept i.e. the current model. Don’t get me wrong, I like this Mustang way better due to its flowing forms but in my opinion it goes into the same direction as the Camaro.

Doug Moore

The car looks great on the sides, those curvy sides make a man drool and a thick but is always good. I think the 2011 Shelby front end would be better and stick to the 2009 rear end. Offer a sunroof or T tops as option. Thicken the steering wheel and add a heads up display for speed. And please add 6 way power seats and fog lights in every trim level. It is the little things that make the buyers choose you over the rest sometimes. Paddle shifters are a great idea for those who can’t or don’t want to handle a clutch. Maybe a special fast back two seater in the line up would be good.

Look its a Ford Corvetteamaro! I am a die hard stay with the Mustang no matter how powerless they become but this is not what I would consider a Mustang. Mustang is big, brawny, beefy and muscular but this is not a Mustang this is Ford designed piece of GM Corvette/Camaro vomit! It you just paint the grill inserts red and you would have the most voluptuous lips that any muscle car has ever had. BLAH!

Mustang, not a muscle car. You have got to be s–ting me. Drop in to the seat of a mustang with a 428 CJ and tell me that it’s not a muscle car.

I don’t know why Ford seems to want to make radical changes to the Mustang. It seems to me that the current model (2005-Present) along with the F150 has saved Ford from bankruptcy. How do they want to repay us, but turning the Mustang into some sort of European hybrid. That’s a huge mistake. The reason Mustang has been in continual production since 1964 is because of it’s distinctly AMERICAN styling. The Mustang name is huge the world over because of the image it has developed over the decades. If Ford were to turn the Mustang into a Saab or Volvo “wanna-be” you can count me out. I am not alone in my opinion either. I can’t find anyone in my local Mustang club who is a fan of the new re-design. I own a 70 Mach 1, a ‘66 K Code and a ‘12 Boss. But if what I see before me in the future of the Mustang, I can see looking elsewhere to have my “pony car” desires met.

All those are classic muscle, this is new modern muscle!

Love the new more aggressive design & sure it has the power to match the looks. By the way, the Mustang is a muscle car & the only muscle car to never have been taken out of production since it’s release!

Looks too much like a Camaro, Do not like front end or rear.
OOH RAH!

Great modern update with a retro style, especially the exhaust! Also the rear end looks better than the present style.

totally looks like a camaro .but they need to change it up to get future customers . i know its a classic and all , but no way ( 400 ,500hp or not) , im spending my hard earned money on a style thats been around almost twice aslong as me . there are alot of great looking ,modern ,smooth ,and almost fast cars out there that have kept me from the mustang more than once

Looks tough. I would kill the stripes on the black bumper and add LEDs into the headlights and taillights. Rear diffuser needs some prominent tailpipes.

I’d like to see the “Retro” thing abandoned. I want to see something “All New” that still screams “MUSTANG”!

i”ll tell you from an owner of a ‘12 car that these cars as is move like bullets. When ‘14 comes around, I’ll probably be trading up.

So many small details from a mustang enthusiasts’ point of view come relatively stock (say a 400A spec)…really is a pleasure to own.

I had an 85, modded the heck out of that thing from heads to roller rockers, exhaust to rear end…and my ‘12 beats it by 2/10ths stock Can’t wait to mod this thing!

They should make it look like a ‘69 – ‘70 Mach 1

As this is not a rendering a Ford designer, it will be interesting to see if any elements make it in the actual vehicle. It will also be a challenge to balance ‘new direction’ with ‘ looks like a Mustang’. What charcteristics does one keep? Many of what might be considered classic are things I think people call ‘retro’ now. Good luck to Ford!
