2010 Mustang Teaser Images

2010 Ford Mustang


In the automotive equivalent of a striptease, Ford has begun releasing official teaser images - one by one - of the updated Mustang due for late 2009 as a 2010 model. The iconic muscle car will feature a number of key changes to its powertrain and the styling, both interior and exterior, as can be seen in these images.

The images that have been released thus far reveals the side-view of a Mustang's front end, a retro-inspired logo and interior, the clean-cut lines of the convertible, the multi-function steering wheel and a very neat looking five-spoke alloy wheel.

Fans of the Mustang will notice how evolutionary - rather than revolutionary - these design changes have been as Ford prepares itself to do battle with the Chevrolet Camaro.

Engine-wise, there are rumours that the new Mustang will make do without a V8 engine in its line-up with Ford deciding to go for fuel economy in the current climate of escalating petrol costs with a new EcoBoost V6 engine. Prepare for a backlash from fans if that turns out to be the case.

The 2010 Ford Mustang will make its debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show in mid-November.
