"Both redesigns introduced in 2005 and 2010 are retro vehicles," Mays told journalist on the sidelines of the Frankfurt Motor Show. "The challenge with the fiftieth anniversary automobile is to not simply relive over your shoulder, however to do to win all of the
Mustang devoted however bring the whole forward also.”
That’s quite a high order, however Mays is over assured that, albeit the
new Mustang are going to be totally different, it'll still retain its character.

Mustang, however you go down a listing of things than would possibly or won't be necessary to form the automobile appear as if a
Mustang," said Mays.
