Love to chat on this one - I don't know of any sketches, can't recall seeing any for a long time on the interwebs. Hopefully our resident secret Ford posters that live in the design studios at Ford might pop a little pic of a tasty morsel or 3 onto this thread. Certainly the historic ones from FPV wouldn't be exposing any trade secrets.

Any way we can tag these posters?

I remember back in 2008 sketches of the FG FPV's were found in a garbage bin or something similar before official release. I'm sure there's a story in there somewhere!

Always thought the Motor FG-X GT concept looked excellent:



Not sure if it was just a talented artist's impression, or if there was an FPV connection linked to it somehow.

It's a 2015 Mustang lower bumper, not very imaginative

Couple of cool pics, I think I prefer Steve's sketch over the Motor pic a little, but mostly dueto the lines of the centre of the front spoiler. Tends to lean toward bit of B series, though inverted. The extra hint of E series in the roofline looks good to me too, even though I know that would have not been the case in real life.

FGPSI, lighten up a little please, you come into the thread demanding content, yet shoot it straight down when something is offered..
I'd hazard a bet that Steve's sketch is probably the only thing available for the time being.
Give it a while and maybe we'll see some more, these things take time, and the blokes that usually share this stuff are bound by contracts etc.

You’ve still got the attitude too I see.

If you’re expecting Ford to release anything you’ll be wiring a long, long time. Why would they want to show you what could of been, but never was.

Pretty much sums it up. They want people to forget they dropped Falcon, not remind people of what they are missing.

Why do you think Ford would release these designs? perhaps they might when they are certain they are of no value to anyone.

You have to understand the the value of intellectual property these days.
designers work for Hours to differentiate a product, you don't just leak that out these days.

It's just a modified Taurus SHO. They could have at least based their renders on the Falcon.
