The 2010 Ford Mustang will not be an all new model as was introduced
in 2005. However, several sytling changes are forecast as well some
upgrades under the hood.
On the outside expect to see some of the squarish lines to be altered
somewhat to create a more muscular appearance. In particular, a
noticeable hip will be added to the body line just rear of the doors.
The rear bumper will also receive some sharper lines which should
eliminate the 2005-2009 bland bumper cover. The headlamps will receive
horizontal bars modelled after the 1970
Ford Mustang and a new grill is expected to be introduced. An
optional Giugiaro concept inspired glass panel roof is expected
to be offered in this new model. New styled wheels are anticipated.
Interior upgrades will include refinements to better position the
driver, new colour packages, new vintage styled seats, and an expected
navigation screen area.
Base motor is expected to the the 2008
Bullitt inspired 315hp V8. However, rumour has a new twin turbo
EcoBoost V6 may be considered. Do not assume this is your standard
minivan motor - it can generate over 400hp and compete with V8's
for torque. But how Ford will make it sound as good as a GT Mustang
V8 remains to be seen.
Ford has not released any information about special models such
as the Shelby GT 500, Bullitt, Mach 1, or Boss models.
