Giugiaro Ford Mustang Concept

It's no surprise, given his profession, that Fabrizio Giugiaro grades new-car designs the way a mountaineer might rate peaks (for him, the Bentley Continental GT and the VW Phaeton merit 8000-meter admiration). But when he first gazed upon the redesigned-for-2005 Ford Mustang, 'the most beautiful Mustang I'd seen in decades," the 41-year-old son of legendary auto designer Giorgetto Giugiaro knew immediately he'd found a new Everest. He had to climb it.
