Viva la Mustang! Giugiaro Interprets Ford Icon
Posted January 6, 2007 at 7:23 pm Make a Comment

The 2005 Ford Mustang captured the hearts and minds of fans and future owners when the all-new model debuted. But the proportions and design of Ford’s first purpose-built muscle car in 30-plus years caught the eyes and sparked the imaginations of a pair of the world’s leading coachbuilders in Italy as well.

“When we saw the new Mustang, we knew two things: It was the best we’d seen since the original, and we had to get our hands on one,” said Fabrizio Giugiaro, styling director of Italdesign – Giugiaro S.P.A.

So in early 2005, Giugiaro pitched J Mays, Ford Motor Company’s group vice president, Design and chief creative officer, on his idea to do an Italian job on the beloved Mustang. The result: Mustang by Giugiaro – a one-of-a-kind concept powered by Ford Racing technologies, marking the Italian coachbuilder’s first reveal two months ago at the Los Angeles Auto Show.

tyrone says (May 13, 2008 at 8:53 am):
ford need to hurry ad build this car. i would luv to buy this car
Jackson says (May 13, 2008 at 4:54 am):
I just saw this car for the first time a couple days ago, and can not stop thinking about it. I believe this would make an excellent addition to the Ford family, but not as the "new" mustang. I absolutly love mustangs dont get me wrong, and maybe i am wording this wrong, but i think this car should be a special order type of car, sort of like the Roush/Shelby versions. I think there should be the original mustang/mustang gt for those "classic mustang lovers" and the Roush/Shelby/Guigaro for those who want a sportier/sleeker/sexier car. I did take the time to read through a few other post and totally disagree with the thoughts that this is just a "Camaro Clone". There are some similiarities yes, but then again there are some similarities in the 67' fastback and 68 camaro. I think the car looks more like the current mustang design than that other companies concept. The lines flow a bit nicer and the car really demands attention.

This is the coolest car i have ever seen come out of ford. it is almost a better Chevy Camero which is about to come out. this is awesome. i hope ford grows a pair and decides to actually come out with this car instead of just making a really cool concept and not going any further with the car like they have done with all of their other concepts in the past like 5 years that is why toyota is destroying everyone else in the market.
Michael Hislope says (May 3, 2008 at 2:30 pm):
I've been a ford guy since I can remember. There dedication to the American society helps me think that maybe there is some hope. But Im just curious to how they are going to survive in todays market.

Build this NOW!!! :)
Anonymous says (April 27, 2008 at 7:53 pm):
another car that is raw is hell. its beautiful. i would love to buy this.
Gavin says (April 24, 2008 at 9:28 pm):
I love this thing, it is a representation of true retro Automobile styling. being 6'6" makes many cars a little too cosy so I would have to try this on if it ever became a production model. I am wondering if Giugairos created the body work too or if their design was fabricated by Ford.
Dave says (April 22, 2008 at 6:48 pm):
I would prefer that ford builds this car, but not with the name mustang, Bring a new attractive euro name or just call it Giugiaro, or some random letters or numbers. And leave the mustang as original to the 1964 frame as possible and don't bring in anything other than american to the mustang name. Introducing it hopefully with the intercepter too as soon as possible. P.S. MAKE IT FAST
Josh says (April 22, 2008 at 8:12 am):
This is one ugly Mustang. The Ford Mustang is a American Icon. Not a Italian Piece of garbage. It dosent even flow with the mustang legacy. Its supposed to be an American muscle car not a Exotic car. The Current Mustang is fine just the way it is. The other photos I've seen of 2009 spy shots looks good, its the same as the current model with a slight change to the front end. I've always been a Mustang fan. I love the 2005-2008 models. But if For produces this car. They might as well call it the Mustang II again just like in the mid to late 70's. The ugliest Mustangs ever made. LEAVE THE MUSTANG ALONE..............Its the way it should be now. If they want to do anything else to it keep the retro look but keep the reto look between the years of 1965
Brandon O'Donnell says (April 20, 2008 at 8:34 am):
I think that this car is the coolest and hottest car that the muscle car scene has seen if you make this car. From what i have seen at the other companies and their cars this is the best. It's sleek, sexy, and Fast of course. you should defently manufacture this car.
John Freeman says (April 17, 2008 at 10:47 pm):
From the photos provided, this car seems to be one of the best mustang styles i have ever seen. this is now my favorite model, even though it is only a concept car. If e ever have the money, the first thing i would buy is one of these. This is up there with the Shelby 500 used in the film "Gone in 60 seconds". NICE JOB!
Brian says (April 15, 2008 at 3:11 pm):
Is this model available for purchase? what is the MSRP? Is it a limited edition only? who caries them? Thanks, Brian
Harvey says (April 14, 2008 at 12:43 pm):
absolutely georgeous......looks mean and wicked......I would even out the tail lights to similar lengths---thats just me. I just cringe thinking of the BS that the automotive press will make up to slam it........oh the door slam is junky or the heater knob is in the wrong spot.......or it only goes 0-60 in 3.9 seconds and the 150K Porsche does it in 3.8 seconds......just build it...gas prices may not have an effect here...
Steve B. says (April 7, 2008 at 2:50 am):
I am dedicated to 'Ford's family of fine cars'(Ford, Lincln, Mercury, Jaguar, Volvo, Land Rover, and last but not least, Mazda), and I like the look of the Ford Mustang 'Giugiaro',but being 6'3" tall with 36"(inseam) legs,I don't know if I could get into one. But I still think it looks cool,and if I could get into it,I just might buy one. Nonetheless,I will always remain a Ford guy,Ford-keep up the good work
James says (April 6, 2008 at 9:55 am):
When will this car come out? Will definitely buy it. Hopefully will come out soon!
dale says (April 4, 2008 at 8:18 pm):
