C7 of the Year - Unmodified Finalist 2021
Default

I think it misses the mark of being futuristic and nothing reimagined here but some copying of others.. It looks like a C7 stingray/widebody with very minor tweaks... That similar style hood is currently available by Ivan Tampi Designs and others, the front grille is very similar to the current Z06 grille with minor tweaks, same wide body fenders and quarters, overall lines are almost identical to C7. The only thing original is the side skirts and I guess if you want to call it that is headlights so not impressed at all with this rendition.... I guess a Ford Designer would want to hold back on making an awesome design for a competitor brand as this seems like a tongue in cheek prank rendering....... IJS

Like the C7 better just the way it came from the factory. Besides the headlights I do not see the futuristic part.

I do like the hood (although a similar version is avail now) and the exhaust tip area is pretty cool. Otherwise, not the revolutionary.

Ho-hum. Looks like a mild custom that is not as taut or well-developed as the actual C7.

New and different is not necessarily better.

Resembles a movie prop car. Not a lead one either, just a background set one. I'd take a crazy George Barris creation over this muted 15 yr old Ferrari design anyday. Stay at Ford and continue bastardizing the Mustang name with your Mach-E redesings please.

One was a '70 Chevelle with a built small block and 4:10 gears, the other being my '19 Stingray and neither are anywhere close to a 1.1 second 0-60 time. I honestly think I'd be afraid to accelerate that fast.

And, the point is...?

(how many who are not Ford designers have done much the same over the years... with every car imaginable?)
