All-new Ford Mustang will make its big-screen debut in Need for Speed this spring before it goes on sale this fall.

I really don't think red is the best color for this car. It just sort of glows and you don't get to see the lines and contours of the car.

that's ok, because all you'll have to get used to is the tail lights.

Generally a nice body-shape, but one reason it looks so bland is that, unlike the original 60's-vintage Mustangs, there is virtually no chrome. Except for the wheels, there is virtually nothing but a sea of red monotone.

Looks great to me!
Perfect proportions and CLEAN body lines.
No fake scoops, wings and other crap.

Not feeling the black rims though....

looks soooooo good. I can't wait for the other colors to hit the net. Ford hit the spot with this beast.

makes all other sport coupes look either overpriced or under designed.

That's for a photo shoot. Production cars won't sit that low. They need to account for people who expect to drive too fast over bad roads without breaking a shock.

Ford has made a Brembo kit available as an option for the GT models in this passing generation as well.

I know that but this one looks much bigger unless it will be different in final production

those brakes look much bigger than the 11-13 models... This looks like a six pot compared to the i think 4 pot offer in the present GT
