You have to look closely to see the changes in the 2010 Ford Mustang, the car that will be battling the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro for our attention. Our spy shooters were able to capture video of several prototypes on the streets of Michigan, and the cars all wore several layers of heavy camouflage.
There are some visible changes to the 2010 Mustang’s grille, as some of these prototypes show some extra brightwork around the headlights. The hood has a slightly different shape as well, but it’s probably nothing more than a little Styrofoam to hide the true design.
It doesn’t appear as though heavy sheet metal changes are in the works for the rest of the car, since the overall greenhouse appears unchanged. Both the coupe and convertible test mules were wearing a new set of double-spoke wheels along with relatively low-profile tires. Changes to the rear end are harder to discern. Multiple pieces of disguise hide the true shape of the rear bumper, while the lights appear unchanged from the current model.
Most of the changes are expected to come under the hood. A 5.0-liter V8 will replace the current 4.6-liter V8, which should result in a decent bump in horsepower. It’s not an all-new engine, though, merely an enlarged version of the 24-valve SOHC V8.
The real news will be the introduction of Ford’s new EcoBoost 3.5-liter V6. Its twin-turbo setup should deliver more than 300 hp while delivering superior mileage compared to the 5.0-liter V8. How Ford will pitch the new high-tech engine is tough to call, but expect some sort of special edition to highlight the new power plant.
As finished as these prototypes look, the 2010 Ford Mustang isn’t expected to go on sale until the fall of 2009. The EcoBoost-powered version will come even later. It sounds like a long way off, but the timing should give the new Mustang a little bit of breathing room after the introduction of the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro earlier in the year.

Any Audi could kick a Cobra’s ESPECAILLY the RS4, or RS6, so you actually think a American V8 Could handle a German Bi-Turbo V10? Yeah sure…

I aggree totaly, they look like they ride to high, the front end is too big, they look fat. That is mostly to accomidate the 17 inch rims(personal opinion). where as teh old cars look slim and sleek. This new verison looks like they are gonna put the car on a diet.

you stated ( cobra IS NOT and exotic )
then you talk about an 03-04 later on but only mention those years are just limited edition normal mustang. but you stated First Cobra Company did not supply Exotics. Thats why I came at you like that. plus I was bored. sorry

There are true Exotic Mustangs for your information, don’t make yourself look stupid.
Cobra R mustang, you won’t be able to buy one todate** for less that 100grand easly.

They should have kept the antenna in the front like all the other ones did.

I used to own a 97 …
I used to own a 97 mustang v8. So don’t think I’m flaming you or something. But, German cars are better.
If you are going to compare exotics like the cobra to a German made car. Compare a cobra to a bmw B7 or a 7 series with a Dinin V8 engine. The B7 destroys cobras.
Don’t get me wrong I love American cars but them crazy Germans sure know how to build cars. Check out the video in my profile of a Dinin modified BMW 7 series.
The new Ford engine …
The new Ford engine will NOT be named “hurricane”…that was ditched a while ago. It’s “supposed” to carry the “Boss” name again and yes, put out around 400 HP.
