What would your ideal new gen of Mustang be? Realistically or fantasy?

I'd like to have two versions one more heavy GT touring style that could house the V8 Hybrid Option and another smaller and lighter version geared towards enthusiasts.

[G.Irish]

Seems like a hybrid Mustang would need to be a turbo-4 or turbo-V6 in order to not be stupidly heavy. A v8 hybrid could be something like the GT500.

I fundamentally don't like the idea of an AWD Mustang but I think a lot of average customers would love it. Would probably cut down on parking lot incidents too.

I don't know if there's any ideal hybrid drivetrain Ford could do for the Mustang that I personally would like. I guess the closest for me would be a Ecoboost-V6 plug-in hybrid with RWD.

Not feeling the front air dam or hood scoops. I'll never buy one though.

Reminds me a bit of the aero on a GT3RS.  Might look kinda dorky in normal colors though.  Gonna be at least 2021 calendar year before this drops.

Very cool. Porsche selling carplay enabled head units for older models. I'm sure they are pricey.

That's badass. And here I just want Toyota to expand Apple Carplay to some of our current vehicles because Entune is the suck.

Is there a name for releasing a prototype when you'll be out of business in 2 years anyway?

I   the original 240z,  but there is something about this concept that just completely misses the mark.  It just looks sterile and uninteresting to me.   And the 300zx taillights were horrible in the 90s and are horrible now.

And it will be overpriced and heavy anyway.

Nissan had their chance with the 510 revival a few years ago that they killed supposedly right before production.

[Senor_Taylor]

As all prototypes go, it'll be a much less exotic looking car and will be ugly in a more boring sense when it's released.

[ScottyB]

of all the colors to paint your prototype reveal. freakin yikes Nissan.

at least they tried. i like the manuel option, but looks like a case of too little, too late, because if its ever made its going to be pricey and probably fat.

I have to agree. Compared to the original, it is much taller than the orig., and I think to come back to what Nissan is truly, then they need to lower the roof, and make it look much less like the 350z. In my opinion the 350 was bad, and the 370 redeemed about half of it's disgrace. 300zx was (edit) not the greatest looking in my opinion.

Honestly without looking at where it came from, the 400z doesn't actually look all that bad. I mean yeah comparatively, it completely missed the mark, but I personally think it looks alright. IDK about the handling (personally I think it'll be a pig).

[CaptainHenreh]

the dimensions are tough, but if it had a twin turba v6 and was like...BRZ sized, that would be pretty cool.

i think the styling except for the nose is mostly fine, but the nose is dear god, horrid.

[rherold9]

The prototype looks the same as the previous 2 cars. Nothing to get excited about except it using the v6 turbo the infinity's do

I always find this funny because I mean they are all like this. I know they should've made it look a little better, but that's what they've always done. Now I don't know your opinion on the last couple gens but I think they're pretty normal to have a blocky front.

[CaptainHenreh]

This also seems...insane. And completely rad:
