Many people are curious about what the 2010 Ford Mustang will look like. Since aficionados don’t have very much to go off of, we are forced to search for clues that can help us take educated guesses.
One such clue has surfaced…
To the right is displayed the new Mustang emblem for the 2010 series of the famous muscle car. Can you tell which one is the new emblem and which is the old?
If you guessed the top one is new, you were correct. A closer look at it reveals a few minor changes that help give us some insight as to what is to come in the near future. The new pony is more defined and muscular. It has a sleeker look and is probably more likely to catch the eye of Mustang enthusiasts around the globe.
Design manager for the 2010 Mustang, George Saridakes, says, “Its just a faster looking steed.”
…and it is!
This stronger badge will charge across the grills of the V-6 and GT versions of the 2010 Mustang with its defined edges and crisp shape with a subtly tinted-chrome finish. Also, for the first time, a black-chrome version of the Mustang pony will be available on the new GT grille.
Cheif Designer of the 2010 Mustang Douglas Gaffka explains their thought process during the creation of the new pony…
“We wanted to give the Mustang pony a more realistic feel. We lifted the head to make the pony more proud, tipped the neck into the wind to give it a feeling of greater speed and better balance. It’s more chiseled and more defined and looks more like a wild horse. It’s more realistic in terms of proportion to an actual Mustang.”
After taking a look at this new emblem, one thing becomes certain. That is, just as Ford is concerned with detail and precision in their cars, they have strived to make the Mustang pony just as good as the car itself. In fact, hours of research actually went into crafting the new look. The designers reviewed video and spoke with experts and horseback riders in an effort to learn the balance and proportion that is present a mustang is in full gallop…and in my opinion….there effort shows.
