This is probably the real deal...

I couldn't get the full pic of the magazine cover to paste in here that my buddy sent me.

The front has cues of XK, Aston Martin nice look

Oh, look, yet another Unston Martin.

Is that a crossover Mustang? Look at the ground clearance on that thing.

front reminds me of the new infiniti Q50

Meh...not bad. Glad the "retro" emphasis is slowly being expunged...

Stewart Allison

Head lights are a similar shape.

That's actually pretty nice looking. I'm liking it. Never been a Mustang fan either but with those Coyote engines it makes me think long and hard about my next purchase.

Looks too much like a Ford Fusion and a Hyundai Tiburon mated and that is the offspring. Not really liking it. But I'd have to see one in person before making a final judgement.

Saw this as well. I like it. Not nearly as drastic change as I thought it would be. The 2015 model year is rumored to have the 5.0 with 500hp. The new gen is also rumored to have reduced weight (-200 or more lbs), better suspension. with that and the 2015 v8 and improved interior materials, the new stang should do very well. I saw the steering wheel no longer has the horrible aluminum on the 9 and 3 position. God, driving the current gen model with that has got to be one of the worst feeling steering wheels I've ever driven.

Highly doubt it; maybe, and that's a big maybe, for a highly tuned Boss version.

The E60 M5 made 500hp with a 5L V10 that revs **** high, and as a result, turned out to be one of the most stressed and unreliable engines out there. Not to mention 12 mpg in the city.

For a V8 of the same displacement to make that power, while being streetable, pass emissions, and offer decent fuel economy, and longetivity, all for $35k, is just about impossible.

Definitely has a lot of Ford family resemblance going on. New Fusion looks astonishingly good in real life. The Mustang render has a bit of this going on too.

Meh, while being put together with pricey parts, it still lacked direct injection and was designed a decade ago. Remember BMW's little 4.0 matched the 5.0's hp, albeit frantically as well.

Even assuming a modest 5% increase in power, while running 13-1 compression vs the Boss' 11-1, that goes from 444hp to 466. Ford already has the cobra jet intake that outperforms the Boss intake at higher rpm's(say, another 10 reliable hp?). Redesign the cams a little, and tweak the already amazing heads for another 20 hp. That's a fairly reasonable 496hp. Assume 10% increase from direct injection and you're at 518. A stretch, but not impossible. A 495 for a high output and 470 for a GT isn't impossible..

Of course, a 5.0 gt and 5.5 boss/gt350/mach 1 might be just as likely. Though I do agree, a 500hp GT ain't happening.


I could not figure for the life off me what car this brought to mind.

The Lancer/Evo and even infinity Q50 do bear a strong resemblence. I for one hate the squinty eye look.

I don't know much about BMW , other than the part I don't like them or their drivers, but the new 5.0 engine is much less stressed than the LS7 is at high rpm... Fact , not opinion.

McGirk94LT1

Uh, I don't think anyone is questioning that a 428ci, highest-redline-production-pushrod motor spinning 7000 is a walk in the park. Nor that a 5.0 DOHC spinning 7000 is a huge deal.

Almost any DOHC motor can run to 7000rpm's, just as the ls7 has some top-shelf goods to enable it to safely turn 7000rpm's.
