2010 Ford Mustang Teaser Shot No15: Duck-Tailed Rear-End
In less than a week's time, on November 19, which is the first press day of the Los Angeles Auto Show, Ford will finally free us from the miserable task of trying to find something to write about the new Mustang every time it releases a teaser photo of the car. But until then, we're obliged to show you the 15th -unbelievable, isn't it?- consecutive cryptic shot of 2010 'Stang. This time FoMoCo unveiled a picture of the Mustang's duck-tail-shaped buttocks. Since we've no intention to get into design details skip/hop/follow/bounce/leap etc, etc, the jump to read what Ford's peoples had to say about it.
"Coming or going, the 2010 Mustang casts an evocative, dramatic presence on the road. The enhanced muscular look of the 2010 Mustang carries through to the rear of the car. "It's a huge improvement," said Chief Designer Douglas Gaffka.
Design Manager George Saridakis and his team created a more-compact, wraparound look and enhanced Mustang's width and stance through a new two-piece rear fascia. Reinforcing the Mustang's heritage are the tri-bar tail lamps. The three individual red chambers, each lit with LED technology, are separated by two clear vertical back-up elements to ensure the tri-bar look is identifiable when lit or unlit. Continuing on the theme of embracing Mustang's heritage with contemporary execution, the proud and distinctive three-piece central badge is a modern and expressive evolution of the iconic Mustang gas cap, executed in contrasting polished and satin finishes.
"We're proud of Mustang's heritage; it's a fantastic car with a rich, proud history," Saridakis said. "For the 2010 model, it was a huge challenge and also a huge honor to reference Mustang's DNA and execute new forms in a modern way."
The decklid spoiler is redesigned into a duck-tail form, with several options, including one that incorporates a rear-view camera, are available."
