Ford Mustang Giugiaro Concept coachbuilders sparked the imagination of the world’s leading pair, including in Italy with a style that interpret key models reflecting the history and image. Ford Mustang Giugiaro Concept done for the idea was Giugiaro pitched J Mays Ford Motor Company group vice president, Design and chief creative officer. Ford Mustang Giugiaro Concept is powered by Ford Racing technologies marking the Italian coachbuilder’s first reveal at the November Los Angeles Auto Show debut.
The engine, drivetrain and suspension were all custom made and provided by Ford Racing. The engine is a stock 4.6-liter 3-valve V8 that has been mated with an intercooled twin-screw supercharger. Other components include Ford GT fuel injectors, unique engine calibration, 95 mm mass air meter, conical air filter and a performance exhaust made by Ford Racing.
Ford Mustang Giugiaro Concept is a fastback in side view with a longer hood and the trunk barely visible, and the following specifications.
*The interior – featuring a dramatic instrument panel that sweeps the width of the car; circular gauges that project from behind the steering wheel; dark brown horsehide-covered headrests with horse logo accents; and seat cushions and backrests elaborately upholstered in dark brown mottled horse hides.
*The single curved glass panel that bridges the windshield and rear window, serving as the concept’s roof. Produced by Solutia of Detroit, the panel is made from a special type of crystal that filters out 100 percent of UVA rays while providing unfettered vista views.
*Its dramatic doors, which are hinged at the base of the upright A-pillar and open vertically at the touch of a button.
*Bespoke taillights, which are three separate elements as found on the 1964 Mustang – but reinterpreted into a more dramatic arrow shape that links to the louver panels that replace the rear side windows.
*The visible curl that sweeps into the crest of the concept’s carbon fiber fenders, hinting at tail fins that defined American cars of the ‘50s.
*The sporting-but-elegant unique 20-inch rims, fitted with 275/40 tires on the front and larger 315/35 tires on the rear.
