With the official unveiling of the all-new 2011 Mustang (see video here) just around the corner (November 19), Ford decided to tease us by unveiling its new pony badge. Ford says that the new emblem with its more chiseled and crispier design gives us a hint to as what the 2011 Mustang will look like. Besides the subtly toned tinted-chrome finish, the new pony also features and a new mane. -Continued “It’s just a faster-looking steed,” said George Saridakis, Design manager for the 2011 Mustang. “We wanted to give the Mustang pony a more realistic feel,” said Douglas Gaffka, chief designer for the 2011 Mustang. “We lifted the head to make the pony more proud, tipped the neck into the wind to give it a feeling of greater speed and better balance. It’s more chiselled and more defined and looks more like a wild horse,” Gaffka added. “It’s more realistic in terms of proportion to an actual Mustang.”
