The new pictures from the Ford 2024 Mustang webpage

Call me cynical, but I think half the reason it looks good here is because it’s underexposed and hiding what they did to that front bumper

Taking my cynic’s cap off and it does look utterly menacing here though. Good silhouette

I corrected the brightness and ran it through an AI upscaler. I still think it looks great in this shot. but they photoshopped the black part under the lights in bodycolor for this shot!?

My biggest gripe is that the car will miss painted gloss black parts, would be must have for the dealer to do before delivery

Good catch, strange. I bet it’s still the satin plastic. Maybe the details got crushed when trying to correct it in post. It tends to blend in with Blue Ember in certain lighting, like below:

I get that they’re trying to create the ninja mask effect—framing the grille and headlights inside a defined, narrow and horizontal space—similar to the classic Mustangs and inherent in the latest Challenger and Camaro models. It’s more of a hint or suggestion to the shape with graphics, but I think I would’ve preferred it if Ford just said f*ck it and took it further for the DH:

1) recess the grille further into the body

2) bring the defining edge that sweeps under the matte plastic bits across the bottom of the grille up higher and make that entire surface flatter and deeper

3) add a small bevel to that same edge and have it fade into the corners of the headlights so that there’s at least some surface separation outside of body color/matte black.

Gosh who holds the steering wheel like that.... ah I forgot that the dashboard was inspired by fighter jets. Now I get it why he is holding it as if the Mustang is doing 500 mph

“Gosh who holds the steering wheel the correct way?” Umm anyone that knows correct hand positioning and is properly qualified to have a drivers license.

Love how they keep showing the woman with the EcoBoost but soon as there is an interior shot shes in the guys manual GT with the top down because they want to keep hiding the base interior

Dude if you hold that steering wheel like that, you either have cramps or *hitting yourself because you are insecure. I mean look at the picture. That dude is holding it as his life is in jeopardy.

I promise you they didn’t think that deep about it

I really loved the whole S197/S550/S650 journey. A LOT of really great cars have been produced. Mustang really rediscovered its roots and expanded its legendary heritage with both research and development as well as respect and dignity.

Really it all started performance wise with the 2001 Bullitt. Before that it was just SVT products from 93-99 keeping the Mustang GT as not to impressive mid trim. Bullitt worked, lead to the Mach1, and 2003 Cobra moving up high enough that it gave Mustang room to stretch its legs. Then the 06-07 Shelby GT, then 08-09 Bullitt then the BOSS cars and find that Mustang can stand out on its own with some amazing performance without needing to be an SVT product. Each revision things from those special trims made it back into the GT a couple years later. I can't think of ANYTHING special really special about any non-SVT product from well, the mid 70's till 2001.

If they hadn't thought to make the '01 Bullitt I wonder if Mustangs would have stuck with just "GT" as its top trim.

Nice work. It does look really good from that angle and I could even learn to live with the rear styling given how the one on the background looks. Unfortunately most folks don't get on the roof when they want to look at their car. Much anticipation for seeing one in the wild.

This shot makes me want to reach out and grab the screen to stop it from falling off the dashboard in corners. Strange perspective too...left arm is normal, right arm is coming from way over the top of the console lid dude must be a very strange shape.

Fixed. Still looks great to me. Altho I do prefer the gt/racecar

From this angle it looks more and more like a Camaro ... except the Camaro has a better looking grill!

LOL every car on the planet has a better looking grille

*Starts a thread about high rez photos of the S650*

*Proceeds to shit on S650*

Makes a lot of sense.
