The Ford Mustang I is a small, mid-engined (4-cylinder), open two-seater concept car with aluminium body work, that was built in 1962. Although it shared few design elements with the final production vehicle, it did lend its name to the line.

Roy Lunn was put charge of building the car as he brought racing car design experience and together with his engineering really brought the concept to life. An "off-the shelf" German Ford Cardinal 1,500 cc 60 degree V4 powered the Mustang I. It was mounted in a power pack of engine and 4-speed transmission in a common housing with an axle and conventional clutch.

Hell yes. The V4 in this looks like a mini GT40 in the back.
