"  MONTEREY, Calif. \u2014 During last weekend&amp;#039;s Pebble Beach Concours d&amp;#039;Elegance, the idyllic 17-Mile Drive here was overrun with some of the most striking shapes that sheetmetal has ever dared to form, from 1920s Duesenbergs to a fleet of Bugatti Veyrons, and everything between. On the futuristic end of this tantalizing spectrum is the Mustang by Giugiaro concept. We were fortunate enough to get some seat time and chat with its designer, Fabrizio Giugiaro, who has worked on such notable vehicles as the Maserati 3200 GT and the Lamborghini Gallardo. (Watch him walk us around the orange monster with this video; story continues below.) The Giugiaro Mustang is like a spaghetti western: an Italian ode to an American icon. Like most driveable concepts, this one is not yet sorted out for the street. Its underpinnings come from Ford Racing and have all the right intentions\u2014hunkered down with an aggressive stance that works surprisingly well on smooth surfaces. But the chassis shudders and flexes over road irregularities, shuddering which becomes exaggerated thanks to stiff spring rates and a rigid rear axle. The howl of its unrestricted exhaust becomes satisfyingly intrusive at midrange engine speeds, and the car lurches insistently ahead with small amounts of throttle input, thanks to a 500-hp, Whipple-supercharged 4.6-liter V8. Styling is a swoopy, sophisticated spin on the Mustang&amp;#039;s unmistakable shape. Activate the electric scissor doors, and you&amp;#039;re treated to an airy interior trimmed in horsehide. The cockpit is decked out with several screens displaying the view from rear-facing video cameras. The most striking feature of this Stang, though, is the glass roof that gracefully flows above the entire greenhouse, from the tip of the windshield all the way to the fastback-style tail, allowing an uninterrupted view of the sky above. \u2014Basem Wasef "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
