I thought this was the 2015 Mustang thread, not the Mustang Color Fetish thread...

Blue Bosses of every year!

------------------------

The 2015 Mustang seems to like blue too.

Hey now, the color blue can extend to more than just Mustangs.

 

[Slash]

Meh. They look good obviously, because Mustang, but I prefer yellow or red. Or White.

Oh my...

 

[ProjectWHaT]

Can we stop talking about Blue Mustang Fetishes now?!!

hmmmmm..................................NO!

I'm beginning to like that car as well.

A pic of it in Guard in the sunlight, it looks nicer in sunlight. It looks more green then gray unlike the other pics of it inside.

 

[G.T.Ace]

I'd love to see one for myself, I bet it looks even better in real life.

By the way, no one will change my opinion about white Mustangs.

 

[Leonidae@MFT]

It can be any color as long as it's black.

The sketches are directly from Ford. The renders are what the sketches could turn out to be.

Why would they include the sketches of the 60's cars when they share almost no features?

Apparently, it was a progression thing they were doing. There's more than one sketch like that. IIRC, they actually took a photo of the new car lined up next to the old ones.

I still hope Ford will do a line up of all the generations of mustangs in the same color. Like how BMW did with the 5 series. Such a cool picture, sadly shows the massive model bloat that all cars are getting.

 

[Slash]

Wouldn't that be nice.

Here's more of that potential 50th anniversary Mustang, with some of the retro cues pointed out over the standard Mustang.

What It Is: A plain-jane, white-colored 2015 Ford Mustang coupe—a GT, by the looks of those “5.0” fender badges—wearing some tape and christened with a Michigan manufacturer license plate. It also happens to pack more than a few retro design cues that lead us to believe it’s a Mustang 50th Anniversary edition prototype. This limited-production release will commemorate the pony car’s golden jubilee soon after it goes on sale this year, and apparently it will do so by looking back to the car’s early days.

Why It Matters: As if the launch of an all-new Mustang wasn’t a big enough deal, the 2015 Ford Mustang 50th Anniversary model will throw more metaphorical phosphorous on the metaphorical fire. In all likelihood, the retro-themed model also was created to assuage more-traditional Mustang buyers who feel there is too much “new” in the 2015 Mustang’s design.


Platform: The only differences between the regular 2015 Mustang and this special-edition model that we can pick out are cosmetic: The grille gets a sweet ’60s–style “pony in a corral” badge, and this prototype’s rear quarter-window tape job suggests some old-school louvers are destined for the location. It appears the 50th Anniversary gear will include some performance mods, such as the Brembo brakes hiding behind this test mule’s blacked-out wheels, but this also could just be a pairing of the special-edition gear with a nicely optioned V-8–powered Mustang coupe. We don’t see why Ford couldn’t apply the limited-edition treatment to the Mustang convertible, but none were caught testing by our spy photographers, so we’ll have to wait and see whether a topless model appears.

Powertrain: We expect the 50th Anniversary package to adorn the V-8–powered Mustang GT coupe, but we see no reason it couldn’t also be paired with the 2015 Stang’s V-6 or EcoBoost turbo four-cylinder engines. A slight horsepower bump for any involved engine could be in the works, but it likely would be minimal.



Estimated Arrival and Price: We suspect the 50th Anniversary Mustang will bow at the New York auto show next month, where the original pony car debuted 50 years ago. Look for a price premium for the privilege, perhaps between $1000 and $2000, if not more, over the 2015 Mustang’s expected low-$20,000 base price.

I wish the door handle was a simple hinge so it wouldn't break up that line.

Well Ford is putting the Mustang on the Empire State building again just like back in the day.

How does one put a Mustang on the a Empire State Building? Chinook?

 

[Slash]

Its going up as a parts car and then being reassembled.

Ruby Red looks like **** in darkness. But, when the light hits it...

The more I look at the white mustang, the more I think it looks like a two door Taurus or something.
