As expected, Ford will unveil this one-off based on its Mustang pony car in Los Angeles. Dubbed the Ford Mustang Giugiaro concept, the fully drivable scissor-doored coupe boasts a chopped glass roof and is powered by Ford Racing technologies. The design is said to hint at whats in store for the 2010 Mustang replacement.

I think its more of a "Burnt Orange"
BTTT
Oh wow thanks for the top shot.. hmmm... now thats interesting...
It's interesting, but didn't Subaru already do the all-glass-top sportscar thing? Anyway, I'll be happier if Ford just continues to crank out "specialty" models of the current Mustang over the next 2 - 3 years. They've already got the Shelby variant covered, and the California Special as well. Now they need style / performance packages based on the Mach 1 and Boss 302 - both of those are naturals for the current sheetmetal (which owes much to the Mach 1 / Boss heyday of '69 - '70).
ok, just looked though all the pics.. thats one MEAN lookin' MOFO! Anyone wanna buy me one? oh yea... I can't drive for a year... d@mn... :(
I'm sure that item would never make it to production, but the lines are clean and sexy, definately sweet.
Nice side Mirrors.
"Objects may be closer or not but who cares you can't see them on this tiny piece of mirror anyway but if you go fast enough it won't matter!"
Take a look at the Lincoln MKS Showcar, it had it as well. Who knows, maybe they have figured out a way to do it.
I suspect those are rear-facing videocamera pods, not mirrors.
Oh-oh. In that thing
people in helicopters
would be able to
see when my hand is
on Anna's knee! She might not
want to ride with me . . .
Nuther damn front-drive?
Probably, It may have a 4WD option, I don't know, according to the Detriot News and Freepress today, it is slated for the showrooms for the 2008 year, so we will find out soon, one would think.
Ahhhh...
Does it come with a 4 cylinder engine in order to save money and perserve the planet??
Don't know, My guess is it would have their new 3.5l V6. Google it for specs.
The front, particularly the headlights, are Camaro-esque. The interior is a knockout, but all the reflective surfaces on the dash would be a pain in bright sunlight. The profile proportions are a little on the stubby side, but I suppose that keeps the classic Mustang fastback profile, while allowing enough headroom for rear seats. The glass roof is visually stunning, but I don't think most people would spring for it ... too hot. It's interesting that Giugiaro chose to design this vehicle to only accomodate North American style license plates.
The 19 yr. old that penned that concept, may have done better than the one shown by GM themselves!
