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.

I say that this websit e is fit for haven. the car is fine. looks great. looks white in color. the doors are made of solid steel. it looks like great wood work has gone into making this car. the engine looks nice. looks like about 1800 cc. one can make aobut 200 miles wihtout any thing happening to the engine. the reliability is nice much better than previous cars. ford is a good company with some good models and good engines and other stuff. their engines are world renown for their relaiblity and ability to perform under a lot of pressure. the exterior is nice the hood is solid.

Wow i have to just say good job to ford. Now people you can not lie this car just takes your breath away, and the orange just makes it look even better. Now although ford is startin to fade a little they just kicked it up a notch, i wish they would just choose better people to advertise instead of the dixie sluts because i liked it when Toby Keith did it for them. Still amazing car and well done.

Ford has lost ground to too many other manufactures over the years. Aggressive styling, higher quality interior materials and good fuel efficiency are some of the reasons why many European and Asian car makers have been propelled ahead of our domestic product. If they made this car with at least the same current fuel efficiency standards, I'd definitely consider it over an Infiniti G37 or Lexus IS 300. But imagine the sales of this car was made as a hybrid like that of the hybrid Altima and got around 26-28 mpg city.

If you build this car put the Cammer 5.0 engine in it. Stay away from turbos and superchargers That's just more problems you have to deal with.

I just bought an Sti (after 4 mustangs and 2 rangers) because I got tired of ford not stepping into the future.
Give me a 400hp, e85, 6spd, awd in this car and I'll buy it right now.
Note: On pump gas, the sti gets 20mpg in the city and yet runs 13.20's bone stock. All for $32K. I love my mustangs, but at $4/gal for fuel Ford needs to get with the program.
The Vette, the AMG, M3, and countless others are in the 12's stock. True the Mustang is half their price, but I don't accept that as being a limitation to equal the performance. (We all know 20% of those other cars prices comes from the name.) So the Mustang should be able to equal those numbers for $40k. To do so it'll need 400hp, e85, 6 spd and awd. And in this body style! :-)

The Mustang Guigiaro is an awesome looking car. I definitely buy that vehicle. I hope ford plans to use of of its look on the next Mustang version. It just looks fast and it looks more futuristic but kept some nice pony features. This would make a great production car.

Love the dash and instrument cluster, also not a fan of the roof or the overall styling of the car. Take the 08 mustang GT/CS and put that interior in it then you'd have something special. I prefer the muscle car look not the wanna bee beamer!

I want this car !!!! I like the look of the glass top but is it in three sections or one ? I don't want to replace the entire glass from hood to trunk if I get a crack. other than that this car is cutting edge. Being a ford man we needed something new to give us that wow factor and this car does that. If it has the hp to match.

Get rid of that glass roof and count me in, I'd hate to get a chip ion it going down the highway and then having to pay $3,000 to get it replaced. Hard top or a convertable, to hell with the glass roof.

I mean really what is with Ford trying to go all Italian and Japanese, there is nothing wrong with Italian or Japanese cars but Ford is an American comany and it should make good old American cars.

I don't understand what is with Ford trying to go all italian and japanese on us. I think ford should do what it does best and that is making American cars.
