My interpretation of a hatchback "Heritage" version of the new Mustang
in an updated Poppy Red. The combination of brushed aluminum lift-off
roof panel and wraparound rear hatch is evocative of the original
Mustang I's "basket handle." I added dual chrome strakes to the side
coves referencing past models and black rocker panels with bright trim
to visually thin out the body. I understand the designers not wanting to
reprise the faux gas cap in the rear panel, but I'd still lik...e
some sort of circular motif. In this rendering I've included what would
be an iridescent and reflector depression centered behind the GT
logo. Under various lighting conditions it would change from virtually
invisible to a chrome-like appearance.
And now that the Camaro is exclusively a notch back, maybe it's time for a Mustang Hatchback to be offered as an alternative.
