2013 Ford Mustang V6 spied nearly camo-free Car News and Review

Our spy photographers captured the 2013 Ford Mustang GT recently, and not far behind it is this, the V6-flavored pony car. The V6, as with the GT, gets a significant brawny cue from the top-dog Shelby GT500, that protruding grille. Although it receives the same headlight treatment as the GT, the V6 leaves off the front splitter and the running-horse logo remains front and center in the grille, not offset as on the GT prototype.

Things are tamer out back, naturally, but a revised treatment of taillights and bumper will set this one aside from others in the family. It appears to be a mild suite of changes that we’ll have to wait some other year for, but perhaps this is entirely Ford thinks it needs to put the Mustang back on the number-one peg.
