For today's car here is a Ford Mustang -- the GT5 2007 Ford Mustang V8 GT Coup Premium.
Wearing a coat of Performance White, it is parked here in various spots at Red Bull Hangar 7.
The Ford Mustang Series 1 debuted midway through the 1964 model year and sold 1.5 million units within 18 months.
Now it appears that this 2007 Mustang based on the 2005 Mustang is a reincarnation of the Series 1 original, at least that was the intention.
The Series 1 pioneered pony car looks -- long hoods and short rear ends and this Ford Mustang still has that look. In fact, Ford had a strategy to achieve exactly that in 2005 called "Living Legends".
Engine: all aluminum.
The GT trim is the upper grade model with a V8 and an output of 300 bhp.
However, I am not sure that the long hood - short rear end layout is not obsolete in this day and age.
Pony.
GT... and auto speak GT of course stands for... Gran Turismo meaning a grand tourer, a high-performance luxury automobile for long-distance driving.
Looooong hood.
Short rear end.
