Spied: Mysterious "Project B" Mustang concept to debut at SEMA

Believe it or not, but the car above is based on the current generation Ford Mustang. We don't have a lot of details, but we do know that it's a Ford concept car codenamed "Project B" that is being built by Galpin Auto Sports and will debut at the SEMA show in November. Power will come from a twin-supercharged Mustang V8 that has been stroked to 5.0 liters. Massive wheels, 24 inches in the rear and 22 inches up front, engulf 16-inch Wilwood brakes. Our sources say that this will also be the very first car to feature Ford's second generation SYNC system. The concept definitely has an interesting design, and we're anxious to see the finished product in November. Check out more photos and drawings in the gallery below.

As long as it's not Plan B, encase the first design doesn't turn out right. Bleh.

If HotWheels was in charge, this would make sense.
Otherwise... fug-tastic.

Pointless. Do something that actually makes money instead.

Um... yeah.
Someone sneaked "special" brownies into the stylists' break room that Friday.

i figured they found a stash of peyote, but the brownies might not be a bad guess.
definitly a design for a hotwheels car.

I'm not totally sure I get it. Is this supposed to be an homage to the Deuce Coupe? If so, did Mazda design it? My final question would be: why, god...why?

I almost made a negative comment.
Until i looked at the picture that has what appears to be twin superchargers and the intake itself may also be another supercharger, sure can't complain about that.

Henry Ford and every dead designer just rolled over in their graves. This is why we leave this stuff to the pros.

Any imagination is better than that crappy old mustang look. If you want to look like everyone else, save some cash and get a Civic. At least a Honda is better engineered.

This looks like it would need rims with spinners that are blades or something.
