There is not a single car more anticipated right now than the 2015 Ford Mustang. The Blue Oval is feeding us a steady diet of rumors and anniversary items, but all we really want is to see and touch the latest and greatest iteration of an American icon. Lacking any official sketch or rendering, the Mustang community has filled the void with one rendering after another, doing its best to use what little knowledge of the 2015 Mustang we have to give us the best idea of what it will look like.
These renderings have themselves undergone a slow and steady trend, and two of the latest renderings from Mustang6G.com artist Wild Speed have really stepped back the design language introduced with the Ford Evos concepts. These latest Mustang renderings are definitely more familiar…but is that a good thing?
When the Ford Evos Concept first debuted in the fall of 2011, there were whispers that this was a precursor for the look of the next-gen Mustang. Then Ford rolled out the all-new Fusion, which borrowed heavily from the Evos Concept, and it seemed like the Mustang would follow suit. But Wild Speed has pulled back on the rounder, smoother Mustang renderings that followed in the wake of the Evos.
Instead, he started with the current generation Mustang, and very subtly added Evos-like features, including the sharp, narrow headlights and wide-mouth grille. Wild Speed also made it look a bit more like a fastback, especially in the second (blue) rendering, but these two 2015 Mustangs look mighty familiar. We can’t decide if it is a good thing or a bad thing though. We definitely like the bulgier, more dramatic lines of the fenders and hood on these renderings than on the one we showed you last week.
We’re wondering though, is Ford about to pull a Toyota and go safe on the Mustang design sticking close to the current car’s lines, instead of bold by heading in a new design direction? We know these designs have to be close based off the photos of the camo-wrapped prototype, sound off and let us know your thoughts in the comments section.
