man...that thing is hot !!!

I like the fact that they got rid of the stupid side vents and the hood scoop

i wish they made it look more like the shelby gt500 in the back. it would have been better with the, i think its called the duck tale, than the spoiler. the spoiler just makes it look cheap. but overall, i like it.

The only ford apart from the GT40 that looks awesome, and one that I would seriously think of buying...
I hope they threw away the separate chasis and finally got into the modern era of monocoque...

I think that they are using the lincoln LS chassis, or some Jaguar one

Oh man...this car is awesome...very hot!!
Thanks for the pics!!!
What´s the engine specification??

Im not sure yet, but the base engine will be a sohc 3V design. Or so I've heard

It looks awesome. I like how they redid the rear-end. The concepts rear end looked like shit. The only thing I dont like is that the concept had a lower wider looking profile than this one, which i prefered. But its still awesome. Cant wait for SVT's version!

Looks good but think it needs a bit more differentiation.. sorta looks a bit like a Nissan 200SX in a way.

If thats the case, than the 200SX looks like it because this car looks pretty damn close to a 67 stang and im sure the 200sx ur talking about wasnt made before 67'.

the V6 will be that, and probabl make around 205 horses, and little more lbs of torque, but the GTs should be around 300 ponies, and maybe 350 lbs of torque.

I prefer the concept rear, this one is too long. Crash test rules ?? Or chassis ?? and please, remove the rear wing . :roll:

damn when i wa typing that post about the 3V SOHC 3 post were made.

Its very pretty. If they get it right, props to Ford for reviving an aging classic.
Hopefully it'll be able to compete with the GTO (which is sweet in it own right).

I agree, I think the concept is amazing, on this one the back is too long, but it still looks good though...thanks to the front of the car

...if this is what ford was going for - they kinda missed the mark a little.. ;)

... this is what they showed us...

... and this is what they delivered...

The sad reality is that the car has to first pass the "political correctness and budgetary commitees..." ;)

^^^ I think they did it justice. Sometimes the production comes out looking nothing like the concept but this is not bad.

Finally an american car that looks reasonable. It still looks a little disproportioned with the overhang at the back. But I'm still impressed. It kind of reminds me of an older Aston Martin.

I hope to see this car modified by Saleen and Rousch.

I love the new mustang. Its great. I cant wait for the 06 Mustang Cobra, the Saleen, and Roush. I also want to see what Shelby will bring to the Mustang again. :mrgreen:

I really like the look of the new Mustang, looks like Ford is going back to their roots, with the new GT Supercar and this.

I think its a good idea, the new mustang looks SWEET :D

yea it definitlylooks good, lets just hope the performance backs it up!

They just showed What Shelby is bringing to the table in the future on the TLC show Rides and its the new Shelby Cobra and its a sweet azz ride with a huge V10 lets just hope it makes it to production.

I think the concept looks better...it has sharper lines than this one...and that spoiler is just so fucking ugly...I don't like the little window on the C pillar...I also think that the hood scoops and the side vent looked good...I guess we'll see those touches in later models like the Cobra or the SVT

damn it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I liked the concept so much.

The production version is so average its like they took the concept and decided how they could make it more like the current mustang.

And i really wanted to like the new stang.

Well back to Ford mustang hating for me.

(true i have not seen the proformance figs yet which should be a huge improvement over the current stang)

Don't count on it... it's a real porker. It really is a shame, since it rides originally on a phenomenal chassis-- DEW98, which is what the Lincoln LS/Jaguar S-type share. Unfortunately they fell to the bean counters and cut costs EVERYWHERE.

I don't like the spoiler at the back

the new picture from "chaos in 1983" is much better now the mustang looks better

i don't think they are using the LS platform, o and this car won't have independent rear suspension (i guess they are going back to their roots.... kinda) and this car brings back alot of memories, when i was growing up my dad had a 67 fastback v8, wow but we left it out one winter (my mom wanted HER can in the garage) and this thing rusted up like nothing i have never seen.

Some high-res pics for the 2005 Ford mustang, enjoy!

I just have to say that I think the car looks amazing. My dad already put a reserve on for one at a family friend's dealership.

Wow there is alot of bullshit in those articles. L arms are better than A arms--- sure they are. A solid rear axle provides consistent grip---- when? And the whole front suspention designed after the M3's. Thats like saying we dont have the talent to create a good suspention setup so we will try to copy one, aparently unsuccessfully. Then the part about the car having the most advanced suspension of any sub 20K car... well off the top of my head i can think of a few that would lap the stang on a tight course. MX5, MR2/MRS, Mini S (crap i just realized that some of those cars are slightly over 20K) well you get my point.

Damn you FORD, damn you and your consistent medocraty!

And while im pissed off and bitching about ford. Why dosnt ford import/produce the only good fords, the Euro only models, in the US. Damn it why can we have RS focuses and when if it comes out a cosworth focus, or even a puma.
Why can ford create a real sport car? Its not that hard. here is my equation.
Find 2000lbs of metal asemble it into a rear drive platorm with indipendent suspension all around. and you have a drivers car. You know what FORD take a hint and just copy a BMW correctly this time, or an MR2 or Silvia or Alteza/IS300 etc etc... And i want to know what stang owners told ford that the new stang had to have a solid rear axle.!!!!
AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And i think that the production 05 Mustang is the offspring of a drunken, regretable, one night stand between the beautiful prototype Stang and its ugly inbred half retarded 04 mustang cusin.

Just my completely bias, half informed thoughts.

sp ur saying a solid rear axel doesnt provide constant grip?? as in itl bump and dodge around???? hmmm interesting

damn it...every time I look at a picture of the 05 mustang, I think why oh why didn't they make it like the concept...shit man it' just so much better looking...

one more thing...will it be called Mustang GT? or will it eventually have all the range of the current mustang...'cause all the pictures are from the Mustang GT, even those of the production version say Mustang GT.

come on the car looks soo much like the old one its great!

thats the Mustang GT version of it. My guess those double hoods from the concept will be back in the Cobra version. just like how this generations stangs, you can tell what type it is just from the hood.

when looking at it from the side it looks a lot like the previous model mustand which i dont like it should

Yep..once again have to say same thing than I said the new Corvette.
Nice to see old times coming back. :)
The new Mustang is, I think it looks cooler than any Mustang last few years.....The nose just remains me about the ponycar years....nice! And the chasis line...remains me about the 65-69 Fastbacks..... and the tail...yes samething. Awesome.

The engine..well it's bit smaller than Corvette' s engine...4,6 litres I think and it has 3 valves per cyllinted, Corvettte has stil only 2. But the power? Well Mustang about 300 and Vette about 400....There is still some gap between these two....
Just looking forward to hearing the Corbras..or Saleen versions of the New Mustang...there could be around 500 horsepower that point! :)
So...shall we wait a bit more? :)

I agree with you and i think i am not the only one, they couldn't continue to waste the Mustang name with boring and unpersonal cars. Remember the third generation ?? :

What a beautiful car !!! :shock:
There was an improvement for the 4th generation but not enough to wake up and go to a ride.

Yep, and I think that the new "old" desing has started when New Beatle came on to the markets which followed by Chrysler PT Cruiser....
Now Mustang, Corvette is doing the same....
I hope to the future, that there could be room ex. new Challenger / Charger also......Whit that awesome 70's desing......

The new Cobra version might be able to run with the new Z06s, you never know what the crazy asses at SVT will do. I wouldnt be suprised if you see a Turbo Charged Cobra R.

i doubt it, i've heard the new Z06 will be competitive with the viper. plus, even the slightest chance for it would only be in a straight line. it would never have a chance on the track.

I hope the make a new shelby! Does anyone know if the concept one was a 350 or a 500? It would be sweet if they made each! Just like back in the day!

the new SVT which will be out a year after the new mustang goes on sale will have 400 hp and the new C6 has 400 to start and will have more a year from now when the new Z06 is available and IF they decided to make another CobraR which I highly doubt now that shelby might be joining the new mustang hype, and they would never turbocharge the mustang since the CobraR was a mustang with a larger engine that's what they would do, in motor trend they say that the engine is the same size as the larger displacement F-150 engine. So if they really wanted to that's what they would do again, although that's highly unlikely since the CobraR was offered instead of the normal Cobra, for a year there was only the CobraR and no normal Cobra.

Why would they only bump the new Cobras HP up only 10 horses? 400 horses doesnt sound right.

why would they bump it up more than that? 400hp is quite a lot. But it would be cool if they used the GT engine when they switched to the 5.4L, 550hp muahahaa!

I love that retro look! There have been some worse looking models in between...

They should have made the ass more spectacular, though. For some reason it reminds me of the Nissan 200SX from the early 90's. Something about the spoiler and the tail lights, I think. I agree that the old duck tail would be better.

And the engine: Don't worry, I think they will give it enough power...

the 05 Mustang is just pure hotness.....one of the best looking cars to date. Atleast they didn't just take an old design and rebadge it :cough:GTO:cough:

The production version's design was set in stone before the concept car was even drawn; thus they drew the concept from the production. I fell they did the production version a great job. J. Mays has really set the standard for sports cars. It's the most reasonable 300hp car out there. That and he mada damn sure the body wasn't cluttered. No scoops or louvers, just a smooth body with simple yet elegant GT emblems on the sides.

About the 2006 Cobra. It's not just 10hp they're bumping it up. Try a whopping 500BHP. That's right. It's gonna be a big boy; it'll have straight line speed like a Viper and handle damn near as good as a C6 with the new chassis. Not to mention it will still be a whole lot cheaper :D :D
