SEMA 2008: The return of Ugliest. Mustang. Ever.
Click above for a high-res gallery of the Ugliest Mustang Ever
We called it the Ugliest. Mustang. Ever. Our readers called it a pony with rabies, a monstrosity and an abomination. Many of you didn't even believe the car was real. For some reason the guys over at Rich Evans Designs were willing to once again face public humiliation and brought out what they call the "Hardcore Knight" Mustang to SEMA once again. We thought we noticed some differences, and looking back at the photos from last year, we can see they added a few extra spikes (for good measure) to the roof line and the mirrors. Everything else remains relatively the same, including the belief that they can actually sell versions of the car to the public. Rich Evan's web site claims that they will be producing 100 limited edition cars and up to 1000 of the 19-piece component kits to make your own. We wish him the best of luck.

Autoblog,
I want to thank you guys for all the detail shots here...you really did a great job of chronicling the suck. There are layers to this car...like an onion...a really sh*tty onion. To start, you see the stupid crap stuck to the hood, fenders and rear-quarter windows...but there's so much more. There's the batwing splitter, the grooved side-skirts and rear-fender flares, the clearly unbalanceable wheels...
But honestly, all that's a distraction from the lamest thing anyone ever put on a car -- punkrock spikes. What a waste of resources. What a horrible waste of perfectly good fiberglass and bondo. Burn in hell Rich Evans...burn in hell.

I hope the 100 special editions come with the window sticker to completely obstruct driver vision. With any luck at all, they will all be mistakenly steered under 18-wheelers and crushed beyond recognition, in the manner of the Saleen in 2 Fast 2 Furious.

HA HA, I saw that car at a car show in Phoenix last year. I swear, it was so wide I had a hard time getting the whole car in frame.
But the flat black paint looks good.

That's...just cruel...poor thing. With the faux hood scoops i doubt it is even a real GT.

It just can’t be a coincidence that they stuck this thing in the room with the worst carpet.

Agreed. After looking at this POS I kinda threw up in my mouth a lil' bit. What a waste of a Mustang!

I'm a diehard Mustang freak, but that horse needs to be taken out behind the convention building and shot. Just put that damn thing out of its misery.

Under all those fake spikes a horse is crying.
The worst part is that they are actually selling the kits seperately. You just know some idiot is going to order one and modify it to fit their 1983 Mustang or worse an Accord or a Cavalier. I would rather stick the spikes in my own eyes than see that.
