Mustang: The Italian Job

[YuGoStaR]

I thought this seemed interesting. An Italian perspective, on an American classic :hihi:

The 2005 Ford Mustang, as done by the boys at Italdesign.

mmmmmmm yummy

[LUXO_8]

that is HOT....!
damn!

Looks freaking awesome outside, but geez, what were they smoking when they decided that furry cowhide seats were a good idea?



Also, I can never understand the point of having a rear seat that nobody, not even small children, could sit in AND have the luxury of having legs.

Why not just make it a 2 seater and make the back into a large hatch type luggage space?

American Motors did this with the Javelin. They took 1.5feet out of it's wheelbase, modified it to a two seater and called it an AMX.



Then buyers started complaining that it didn't have a back seat!? Those same people probably walked past almost visually identical the four-seat Javelin in the same showroom. AMC dropped the 2-seat AMX after three years (68-to-70), and re-introduced the name as the "performance" version of the Javelin from 71-to-74.

.. the moral of the story is that people don;t know what they want and aren't satisfied when they'd got it ..

BTW: I'm not too sure about the looks for that 'Stang ..

It is possible that there are lots of leasing companies that will not do leases on non comercial two seat vehicles. I know that the leasing company that I use wont do it. It may be a tax thing....

I was just thinking that aye.

Very cool on the outside.

[blutura]

The horse's should be under the bonnet, not inside the cabin!

Time to get the vet in to put it down then. Let me get my shotgun... :nutsycuck

[AUIII XR8 MAN]

Very nice & different looking.

[Jayden]

Yeah Id like a few personal changes, but I overall its awsome, the interiors of these next gen concepts just blow me away. I agree lose the fur though :P

[GTP-814]

awsome car, the interior can change, along with stupid rear seats. They should just make it a true 2 seater sports car...esoecially after they would have spent a lot of money
Did this protype get up at all?

Very well done. I wouldn't mind the cowhide actually, you'd want as many interesting features as possible.

[Polyal]

That looks alot better than the current POS. It looks back at history, but doesn't rely on it.

[LTDHO]

I liked it until I saw the cowhide.. Discusting.

The rest is awesome.

[Polyal]

^^OMG! My eyes, my eyes!

[photn]

i love the outside. the inside is.........different but livable. what ever gets the lady's in the mood lol..... no we just need a fireplace ;)

[Quicklier]

I'm a fan of the outside.
Love the panoramic roof!

[JPFS1]

I LOVE IT...

That's is what i call styling!

[S3SR]

everything from the front to the end of the doors lookes nice, and what the hell are those mirrors spose to see?

I think they are probably actually rear view cameras sending images to the LCD screen in the centre of the dash, same as those featured on Iosis.

[TZENU]

It looks a bit bubbly to me.. Or is that the pic???

Like the interior bar the cowhide

[Dezza]

The exterior looks great, the dash looks great, but the cowhide... :

And that's the Mustang that was spotted a couple of weeks ago. I'm definately a fan, but I love the normal Mustang too.

[BlueRaven]

The cowhide works. I too thought it was strange at first, but this is a one-only prototype and they did a very good job of it too. I think its cool.

[MethodX]

Cool concept. me likes.

Amx and jJevelins r cool too

[FPV8U]

Alright but not my thing.

[drcook]

a bit embarasing for the yanks when the itailians can make a better 'american classic' that the americans can.

love it. can see a lot of the latest generation corvette in the doors and can see a lot of bmw 6 series in the area encompasing the front wheelarch to the headlight.

beautiful.

[MeestaNob!]

That car is pornographic. If that comes out, and the yanks dont mess with it and add vinyl seats and a gun rack, I WANT.

Bring that stuff to Aus, NOW.
