I really hope that this is a joke!!!!!! Nothing to do with Mustang whatsoever!!!!! And small engine with turbo common people what is gonna be next maybe a diesel power pony? Please Ford don't make it please I beg you!
Hey the new Ford Probe... Not a Mustang. Hope ford wakes up on this. This current path shown here will be a disaster.
Don't you dare give it a turbo 4, Ford. dont you dare. that would disgrace the day's of awesome V8 Bullitt Fastbacks, and more importantly, that would disgrace Lee Iacocca
Yeah, not seeing the fox body... I see more of a hatch. Just google some original mustang fox body that hasn't been modified.
well done ford do what you did to the mustang in the 70s totally stuffed it up and then you went back to the real roots of mustang with real engine please if you put a turbo I one make it a twin turbo v8
Really hope they take some cues from this, the headlights look so damn aggressive I love them. also people need to read ip on their history before complaining, did I See someone say they'd be pisses about a 4 cyl?
ass for styling this Evos has pretty heavy euro influence much like fords other new models and the 4cyl would also be marketed more towards them. its really of no shame at all. I seriously doubt they will discontinue offering a v-8, its the base model that would likely get the 4 cylinder. this is not uncommon as Ford had done this in Mustangs past. I should know my first car was a 4cylinder mustan...
Totally not a mustang look / this says new nice old man car - the mustang needs to keep that muscle in your face attitude look
"The Mustang SVO was a limited-production version of the Ford Mustang sold from 1984 to 1986, during which time it was the fastest, most expensive version of the Mustang available. Although it departed both physically and mechanically from any prior version of the Mustang, it held the same spot within the lineup, both in terms of performance over "lesser" variants and in prestige, as had variants ...
In what world is the current gen even remotely a hatchback? It isn't even a lift back man. Its got a trunk so it's a coupe, end of story
Jason there has almost always been a hatchback mustang. Fastbacks, fox bodies, and even the new mustangs are technically hatchbacks
I hope Ford knows that if they came out with a car with this design, everybody would buy it, no question.
Its great that they're getting way more efficient, but in Mustangs, the engine makes the car. An Aventador wouldn't be an Aventador if it had a V6.
This is a very passive design. Does not scream 'muscle car' at all... Looks more like it should be called the new Ford Taurus Coupe.
How can anybody dislike this? It's beautiful. Oh wait, it's disliked by the same people who actually think Mustangs look good. Carry on.
Wtf Ford... Are they trying to transition a muscle car into a hatch? Add dislike button please...
The back is so big because they're putting a huge exhaust tip with the 4 banger.
I hope they make the front end different from the Fusion. As much as I like the Aston Martin styling, it's not Mustang. The doors are cool, and the flared wheel arches are okay. Not a fan of much else.
The only way I would ever buy a new Mustang is if it looked like this...love it
It is not the Evos. That has 4 doors. This has 2. It is the same old rendering that car buzz had shown like 6 months ago
i hope they dont use this kind of grill on the new mustang! really dont like it
They really really need to put headlines so idiots know what they're looking at
This is the Evos concept.....mustang will take some cues from it. Not all if them...
I don't think I'd like this as a Mustang, but I'd certainly buy this car.
I think I could like the styling more if I didn't know it was intended to be a mustang.
Love it I'm just wondering if it says mustang but its very much a game changer for the other two players
Description: Currently the Mustang is available with a 3.7-liter V6 or a 5.0-liter V8, following the path set down by previous iterations of the pony car. But with Ford pushing its EcoBoost technology, the Mustang...

But wouldn't it be cool to blow away a camaro and when they ask what's under the hood, you can embarrass them by saying..... "Just a 4 banger"
No!!! Turbo four for a muscle car?? Are you serious? Stay with the v8. Mustang is not an import tuner.
People say Ford is just "moving with the times" but such an iconic car shouldn't be moving with the times. It should stay the way that it made history. I say stop changing the mustang all together before they ruin it for good.
I'm ok with the turbo 4. It helps with the gas mileage mandates and there will always be the V8 option. I'm not looking to buy a V6, so I don't care if they make it a 4
If this happens the mustang will no longer be a muscle car it will just be a name plate used to help sell a new coupe version of the focus.
Andrew: a version af Volvos engine, yes. But Ford has done some serious tuning.
I agree, but as long as it remains a muscle car with a proper V8, I'll be happy.
I would put money down for a decked out turbo 4 daily driver mustang in a heartbeat. Especially if it starts out with that much power and irs. Sounds awesome.
The Mustang shouldn't be a "global car". It's an American icon and needs to stay that way
I think it would be a good idea to keep that partnership with Cosworth in this case. That would be one helluva motor to tune! Make it come in the turbo four and also keep the V8 package. That's turbo should handle quite well...
They definitely need to use the 2.3 if they are going with a turbo 4. That 2.0 would be a huge downgrade from the v6.
In all honesty I bet the turbo 4 would be worlds better than the v6 especially if they put the rs500 motor in it
Description: For comparison's sake, the 3.7-liter V6 in the current base Mustang produces 305 horsepower. This new EcoBoost four will also likely power the upcoming Focus RS. Fuel economy is also said to be a...

I haven't just because I know we will never see it here in the states. I'm not knocking the amount of cylinders because I know the Ecoboost stuff is awesome. But you don't get the sound like a V8. A twin screw supercharged V8 is the best sound ever
@Patrick, fair enough, enjoy your V8, torque is great and they make a lovely noise. Have you checked out any links for the Ford Falcon Eco Boost 2 litre yet? Goes pretty good
Yes there have been I-4 mustangs before and they have gone down in history as some of the worst cars ever made.
@Clay Williams: it't not messing with tradition. The Mustang has had a base model 4 cylinder in its past. a V-8 will continue to be offered as an optional extra.
Yeah, I have no problem with 4 cylinders, as long as the 5.0 is still an option.
Jim, yes I buy my own fuel. But I stand by my statement. I'd shell out extra money for a 5.0.
When it comes to the mustang the problem isn't the performance it's messing with tradition.
I don't think Ford should mix the Mustang with the European market over here as you don't downsize a performance car so it's better suited to the domestic market that's like giving the GTR a 1.6
@Shelby & @Patrick - Glad to see you're keeping an open mind. Do you buy your own fuel? Do you ever go around corners? Could be a turbo 4 is better for both?
the turbo 4 that would go into this mustang is more powerful and more torquey than the previous iteration of 5.0 anyway. So it goes to show how far motors have come: a modern 4cylinder mustang would STILL be MORE POWERFUL than an older 5.0 period. those of you whining about needing performance are simply wrong. Yes, modern v-8 would of course be more powerful than this 4cylinder but the fact that...
GM is a very global company so I can see them putting an I-4 in the comaro, but When it comes to the challenger dodge is a purist, there's no way they would go to a turbo-4.
My dads 4.6 gets a tad over 30mpg. If you want mileage out of it then you have to drive accordingly
And another thing ya gotta think about, when the mustang starts doing this, Chevy and mopar won't be far behind either, the 4 bangers had mileage will make it an easy choice for people who aren't diehard fans
@David. The gas mileage is better than the 4.6 had. I think my dad said he gets 14 average in his 08 bullit. Granted that engine is pushing 750 horsepower to the wheels, but still terrible mpg even stock.
I have a 5.0 mustang and its an amazing engine. Not one issue with it. Gas mileage sucks but its a beast. Need to keep some version of a V-8.
Like what Jordan said a few comments down, people shouldn't worry. Big muscle is coming to new Mustang. The four is merely an optional engine.
Were slowly loosing a grip on big engines. No mustang is a mustang without a big v8.
Shelby is right. Anyone crazy enough to take a four banger stang over a 5-Oh is an idiot.
Check out reviews of the Aussie Ford Falcon with the 2 litre turbo four - all the performance of the 4 litre six, wayyyy better fuel consumption and it goes around corners better because there is so much less weight over the front wheels. Give the turbo four a chance you might find you don't need five litres to have fun.
@oscar. It's true, the v6 outsells the 5.0 probably around 3 to 1. The v6 is a peppy little option if you want a mustang but don't have the cheddar for the v8. And it still drives pretty good.
The mustang will always have the option of a V8 here in the states. This is just a smart move for Ford. With the mustang going global, they need something that will sell and sell well. At the Ford dealership I am at, the V6 mustangs sell 2 or 3 times faster. We have a 5.0 on the lot that is beautiful, but just won't sell and will sit there for much longer.
Oh don't worry, there's no way in hell they're ditching the 5.0 they just came out with a few years ago, this will just replace the six
Evos mustang concept, not the real mustang, real mustang will look more like the current mustang
Well coming from someone who doesn't like mustangs .. I can honestly say this is smart move on fords side . Albeit the production car never looks like this though .. Definitely something worth looking at no Matter the badge
Cuz it is a hatch, but it's not the mustang, it's the evos, which came out a while ago
The Phoenicians called and want their glass back. The cavemen called and want their wheels back.
Fords front ends are starting to smell like Aston. Cant believe ford would play this kind of a card. Disgusted at the obviousness. ( the fusion was the first to try this). VW owns quite a few but the don't do that.
With the grill and headlights it just looks like the car is pissed the whole time. But it makes sense, if I was that car knowing I was ruining the image of a mustang, I'd be pissed too.
so the fox body looked like a mustang? its time to evolve from the retro themed look.
Looks like a badass new version of a 70's stang. Which was my least favorite but this is amazing, nice job ford!
That's what I was thinking, the front half looks great, but the back half not so much.
If I wanted to buy a Kia I would. Or is this a new performance Fusion. I f Ford does this I will buy a Camaro.
The "Mustang III" is coming. Seventies are back again. OMG.
I applaud Ford for their new design language, the Taurus and Explorer are classy looking vehicles in my opinion. If Ford can pull enough of the Evos into the Mustang, tastefully, I think Ford will have a global hit.
Damn, the retro looks made it iconic, I'm not sure how this will turn out
That's the Evos, not the Mustang
The Mondeo-cum-Aston Martin styling in this pic is handsome enough - but lose the Mustang looks, and you lose the brand's individuality.
It's iconic, the average driver doesnt mistake a mustang ... The average driver would mistake an Aston Martin with a Maserati... Sad but true... I sure hope we don't lose our iconic car..
Thank god they're ditching the solid axle
That's because we associate muscle with the 60s look. Pony cars can't look like that forever.
I think it looks cool by I feel like it losing its American muscle look. It looks to foreign for me.
