Could this be the next Mustang?

looks like a ripoff of a 350Z. And why is ford having to supercharge everything these days?

A single piece of glass forms the windshield and roof, which flows into the trunk lid, and the louvered glass aft of the b-pillar gives a nod to Mustangs of yore. The doors are touch operated and, when asked, pivot up from the a-pillar

That kind of stuff will never see production. Its just show car crap.

It's the best way to get a smooth power curve out of a modular 4.6. We don't pick up power some from mods like you do because of the displacement... I don't know if I've ever seen a 400rwhp n/a 4.6... H/C/I/E sure won't get you there even on a 4v. Add a blower and forged block to handle some boost and there are plenty of 800+ hp 281's out there.

Then you've got the 5.4... and people are getting some big numbers out of those, but again with boost. Like this guy (http://www.clubhioctane.com/community/showthread.php?t=1042) ;)

Truth is, Ford just doesn't build big displacement motors, so you cant expect the same power as a bigger motor without some kind of power adder.

I would really like to see a 'boss' Mustang with an N/A 5.4 32v in it. They have the motor over in Australia ;)

Back on topic, the 'mustang skin' trim is hideous and I don't know how rigid that roof is... the rims aren't bad but the rear end makes up for that, yuck!

Looks more like the concept camaro than a mustang IMO

I wonder if a chipped windshield would total the whole car. That glass cant be cheap.
