Default If Ford Invented The Mustang Today, Would It Be Made From A Fiesta?



When Ford debuted the Mustang back in '64, the car was little more than a rebodied economy car with a ton of trim and performance options. Given that same formula, what would the Mustang look like if it was designed today?

No it wouldn't if it evolved with the wings since evolution would've had it compensate for the landing so that it wouldn't bump its ****. Unless, the 'bump' served a purpose in which case yes, yes it would bump its **** when jumping

Nope. I think they would use something like the C1 platform (not the sub compact B3 platform the fiest is on) and model it to imitate sports cars of today. The Corvette, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche. drawing inspiration from those for styling lines.

I expect it would look somewhat fusion like with a more aerodynamic styling. - Kind of like the current mustang, but cheaper and not as good of a performance vehicle.
