New Mustang

[Escort3500]

New Mustang due out at the end of 2015 apparently. Don't have any details unfortunately, but what does the PH massive think looks-wise?

Is it rwd and v8? Will there be a manual uk rhd version?

[anonymous-user]

Needs bigger mirrors - like a current M3 would look good - and door handles. I don't like the totally smoothed look. And change the wheels for ones with fewer spokes.

Oh and needs a stripe.

Looks like an F-Type fked a Scirocco...

Having seen the mules, I can't imagine it'll look anything like that. The mirrors, door handles, wheels, rear quarters... hmm, doubtful any of that is production (being a CG mockup it can be a bit concept-y I guess).

RHD is definitely coming as it's going to Australia and therefore, here. Initially the rumour was we'd be getting the four-pot only... but I hear that Ford heard the uproar and may bring the V8 too.

Either way, a RHD V8 Mustang sold on our shores can only be a good thing.. now, Chevy, Camaro/Corvette please?

its very nice but it shouldnt be a mustang. The design language is just too far removed from its current shape and its history and all that rubbish.

Looks like something off GTA

Old news....the americans would never have this soft around the edges euro-look. It'll be launched at the Detroit Show looking more along theses lines:

That isn't the new Mustang.
That is the Evos concept from 2011.

Won't the Mustang that's also coming out for EU basically look like the one that's out now?

[VinceFox]

Id love a rwd manual ford coupe in this country instead of the abbatoir sweepings we get foisted on us as usual. Fwd diseasel c**twagons.

You're probably right. A quick Google suggests that it'll look more like the current model, and there may well be a Gulf-liveried version Much better

There's a few rumours circulating that a V8 version might not even be available in the USA when this comes out, as the new CAFE regs come into force in 2015 IIRC, and the V8 maybe a casulty of that, and it maybe replaced by a twin-turbo V6 instead.
Same rumours are saying Chrysler will be dropping the new Hemi as well and ending Challeger production in 2015 as a result.

Yes- but the steering wheel is designed for those nasty foreigners in the colonies.

Likely to look like this:



Hopefully available with RHD, front wheel drive and a 1.6 tdci.

Isn't part of the fun in it being left hand drive? It actually takes away a lot of the appeal for me.

1.4 TDCI for low CO2 and BIK!

Clearly they're having it built in the far east - I can't quite work out whether it's by Hyundai or by Kia.
