No, these are not more spy shots of the 2010 Ford Mustang -- this is the 2006 Mustang GT that you'll soon see on the silver screen in the movie Death Race. A perusal of the film's automotive gems makes it look like Cars for post-apocalyptic and seriously angry adults. But if it were the 2010 Mustang, we'd probably find the time to stop by a Ford dealer today...
Lead man Jason Statham will have his giant outboard mirrors full of other similarly distressed cars, including two Buick Rivieras -- a Boattail and a Chop Top -- a 300C, a Trans Am, and what looks like a Peterbilt called "Dreadnought." And if there were any way to make an XJ12 sexier, check out Colt's Jag. Click the link for a full rundown and info on the cars of your demise.

Actually, this is just the Post Apocalyptic Special Edition Mustang (not to be confused with the Apocalypse Special Edition Mustang).

The Jag is actualy a 5.3 V12 XJS not a XJ12, Xj12 is the name for the saloon with a V12 instead of the straight 6 ;)

If I saw only the pic, I would have thought that Ford did a really good camo on their mule...
I really like that 911, proves that rear-engine is good, gives you plenty of space upfront to mount weapons (wonder if that's an option on the new one? Porsche Destruction Kit, PDK)

Sounds like an awfully brutal movie.
Dave @ Jun 7th 2008 12:23PM
I have a feeling I'm gonna miss the cheesiness of the original.
Dave @ Jun 7th 2008 12:24PM
And it'll probably be missing a lot of the gratuitous nudity too. I blame Janet Jackson.
Duders @ Jun 7th 2008 5:36PM
Probably. Without Sly Stallone this movie has no chance to equal the originals cheesiness.
Though I will be going to see this for sure.

What a waste of steel, fuel and film...
Fooman @ Jun 7th 2008 5:12PM
What a waste of 2 perfectly good rivs! esp a boattail!
Ohso Clutch @ Jun 7th 2008 12:37PM
The first one was ridiculous..... So it wouldn't be a stretch to assume that this will be a worthy successor.

"Lead man Jason Statham..."
Ah, the Steven Seagal of our generation.
almost Dr. G.. @ Jun 7th 2008 1:18PM
i love jason statham.. i always think of turkish gone wild whenever i see one of his movies.. i cant get him away from that character.. and not that its a bad thing either..
jon @ Jun 7th 2008 1:48PM
man, i've never had much love for mustangs, but if they came with dual miniguns i'd have to buy one.
catgirlshyla @ Jun 7th 2008 2:37PM
Product Placement gone to the extreme?
Dan @ Jun 7th 2008 3:24PM
I reeeeally doubt that Porsche approved of those modifications. heheheh
catgirlshyla @ Jun 7th 2008 6:56PM
I'm talking about the Mustang!!
Reader @ Jun 7th 2008 9:49PM
Same thing that I thought. Even though the car is heavily armored and only retains some of the shape, they still manage to put the Mustang icon on the front of it. Doesn't really fit with the post-apocalyptic setting.
ww @ Jun 7th 2008 10:32PM
So I guess gas prices are lower in a post-apocalyptic future, otherwise "Electric Scooters of Death" would be a more realistic title.

What is this Mad Max 4 without the Australian accents?
BigTeebo @ Jun 9th 2008 10:08AM
This is going to be cheese-tastic, like all the other Statham flicks, but I'm gonna see it. Autodueling has always been fun to play in video game form, so let's have it.
