'05 Mustang Concept
Presented as a two-seat fastback coupe and convertible, the Mustang GT concepts are strong indicators of the next-generation Mustang’s design direction. Their exterior designs are clearly inspired by some of the extroverted Mustangs of the past and have been created by a design team that took an introspective approach to updating a classic design. The GT concepts are two-place sportscars: one a coupe and the other a convertible. Both cars started out with a significantly modified Ford Thunderbird rear-wheel-drive architecture. The platform was sectioned to achieve the proper proportion. The front-end geometry is all original – customized to accommodate the signature Mustang MOD 4.6-liter V-8. The coupe conjures images of 1967 and 1968 Fastbacks while the convertible brings back cues of the early Shelby Mustangs, especially in its “show bar” and wide-element tail lamps. Zooming in from the trademark silhouette, an aficionado will appreciate the modern interpretation of the sleek nose of the 1967 models. Yet, the car is uniquely modern thanks to taut surfaces and high-tech hardware. The Mustang GT concepts’ adaptive headlamps are like technical jewels. Two concentric rings are shielded behind a single lens. The rings rotate in a helix pattern to zoom in and out like a professional camera lens. From a single light source, the Mustang GT concepts use fiber optic ribbon to deliver adaptable light levels through their highly focused lenses. An upward rake angle makes the cars appear to be in motion even while at a standstill. The 20-inch wheels and 13.8-inch vented Brembo® disc brakes are pushed out to the corners and anchor the design to the road.
The functional hood scoops help the supercharged engine breathe as it churns out nearly 400 horsepower. Naturally, the engine bay is a focal point in both cars. It boasts a MOD 4.6-liter 90-degree cast-iron block V-8 with aluminum heads, a belt-driven supercharger and a liquid-to-air intercooler. Powertrain: Drivetrain layout Front engine, rear-wheel drive Engine type 90-degree MOD V-8, cast-iron block, aluminum heads, belt-driven supercharger with liquid-to-air intercooler Valve gear DOHC, 4 valves per cylinder Bore/stroke, in/mm 3.55 x 3.54/90.2 x 90 Displacement, in/mm 280.8 / 4,601 Compression ratio 8.5:1 Horsepower @ rpm 400 @ 6,000 (estimated) Torque @ rpm 390 @ 3,500 Redline, rpm 6,500 Transmission 6-speed manual (coupe) 5-speed automatic (convertible) Axle ratio 3.55:1 Final-drive ratio 2.24:1 Chassis Brakes Brembo 13.8-in vented disc Wheels (front) (rear) 20 in x 8.5 in aluminum 20 in x 9.5 in aluminum Tires (front) (rear) 245/40ZR20 BFGoodrich g-force T/A 275/35ZR20 BFGoodrich g-force T/A Dimensions Body style 2-door coupe and convertible Seating capacity 2 Legroom, in 44.0 Shoulder room, in 57.6 Hip room, in 54.9 Headroom, in 37.0 Length, in 182 Width, in 74.7 Height, in 50.8 Fuel capacity, gal 18

camaro and mustang concepts
i'm very much a ford fan, but ill tell you what, i saw the new concept(one of them) for the camaro on the cover of popular hot rodding and i was scrounging for a 5(dont carry cash, gotta love plastic
 ) the classic design and the masculinity oozing from both concepts just sets the scene for the battle to return...and im all for it
