Ford Mustang 2010 - spy pictures

There are more than three weeks until the 2010 Ford Mustang will be exposed at the Auto Show in Los Angeles, but American spies have already got some pictures with the new model during some tests.

Ford offered little clues about their new Mustang model, on the site dedicated to it appearing only some teaser images of the muscle car. These spy pictures we have don’t tell too much, but we can notice that the recipe will not be changed, the same retro theme it is kept, which I personally like. There are speculations that this model will satisfy both ecologists and the ones who are addicted to huge amounts of power, being equipped with a twin-turbo V6 EcoBoost engine of 3.5l and with a V8 of 5l that will produce 350 HP.

Dodge will present at SEMA a very powerul SRT-10 version of the Challenger muscle car.

Dodge Challenger SRT-10 may appear in the dictionary as a descriptive definition for the muscle-car term. With a gigantic v10 engine of 8.4 liters that develops 600 HP and a torque of 760 Nm through the rear wheels, this model illustrates best what the Americans want to transmit with their “muscle car” term.

Regarding its design, you’ll notice the aggressive spoilers, a big air intake on the carbon fiber hood and a carbon fiber aileron placed in the back.

European C3 Corvette

Thursday, June 5th, 2008

It looks like the Americans are not the only fans of muscle-cars, a Spanish guy transforming his Corvette in a real “mean-machine”.

To modify a classic car like C3 Corvette which was assembled in 1969-1982 can’t be a gesture that you would be proud of. But, when the result is like this one, we can make an exception.

As we can see, the modifications are well done, the black paint making this muscle-car to be even more aggressive.
