While every day we get a better sense of what the new Ford Mustang will look like, and we know that Ford NA has a !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! name with the US Patent and Trademark Office, we don't know how such a 'stang would appear in real life. Thankfully, the photoshop hooligans over at !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! have done their damnedest to render what the 2015 Mach 1 Mustang could look like. And I do say, she's a looker. Is it just me, or is there a bit of GT-R in the rear quarter window and C-pillar?

While this is just a speculative render, we already know that the next-gen mustang will largely look like this. There has been much belly-aching in the comments and forums regarding the headlights, and I ask "why?" We've done the retro 'stang, it's time to move on to a more modern style again. I know you might miss the giant round truck lights from the 2005 model. Get over it. Those look ludicrously huge now in the age of LEDs.

If this is what the 2015 Mach 1 Mustang looks like, where in the model range will it fit? At the moment that is unclear, with the likeliest answer being that it will replace the Shelby GT500 as the halo of the hierarchy. It is highly doubtful that the Mach 1 will replace the GT as the volume performance model, as some have reported. The GT name is just too engrained with mainstream brand value to throw away, while the Shelby and Boss models were only known to enthusiasts and thus more dispensable/interchangeable.

Mach1 was always my favorite mustang.

An outside choice for sure, but the less crowded areas of fan-dom are always the most interesting...

Yeah it is kind of like the black sheep of the family but something about the lines and proportions just click for me. My godfather still has his original 1965 mustang, I have to get a ride in it sometime.

That's nice looking...even if it does have some Crosstour-butt going on. Somehow I think it works.

I hope Mach 1 won't get the awful "retro" makeover.

I hope so. That looks badass. Maybe it could get a N/A version of the Shelby's 5.8 with around 550 hp?

Thanks. Now I can never unsee that.

Isn't that the worst? Like the i8 swallowing a 911 or the Marshmallow man in the back of the 4c. Ruined designs for me.
