Nowadays, it would seem crazy for the Mustang to depend on another car for its existence, but we have to keep in mind that the original pony of the 1960s borrowed the tech side of the basic-looking Falcon, from the platform to the engine and transmission. Now, for the rendering parked on your screens, it comes to honor the Sprint go-fast incarnation of the Falcon that was used as a donor.
Having debuted on the first-generation Falcon for the Blue Oval's 1963 1/2 Total Performance range, the Sprint was animated by the 260-ci (4.3-liter) V8 that would later make it under the hood of the 'Stang - later models received a 289-ci (4.7-liter) V8 delivering a meaty 305 hp.
The second generation of the Falcon landed in 1964, bringing a more angular design, and we're looking at the machine used as a starting point for this rendering.
Keep in mind that the Sprint was a proper performance package, with other ingredients involving meatier brakes, suspension upgrades, chassis bracing in the engine bay, five-lug wheels, a floor shifter for the four-speed manual, bucket seats, and more.
However, the said appearance of the Falcon and the success of the Mustang overweighed the Sprint's assets, as well as the fact that the latter had done surprisingly well in the Monte Carlo rally. As such, the Sprint was removed from the Falcon lineup for 1966.
However, it's no secret that more and more muscle enthusiasts are interested in the Falcon Sprint these days. And digital artist Timothy Adry Emmanuel is clearly one of them, having brought this eye-catching pixel work before our eyes.
The understated styling cues of the coupe meet the digitally-added hardware aimed at taking performance to a stellar level.
And, given the size of the blower/hat (the height of the forced induction goodies matches that of the roof), the monstrous wheel/tire package almost seems natural. While we're talking about the latter, we have to mention that tucking the rolling hardware under the fenders would require some serious fabrication work.
And now that the exhaust tips exit the vehicle just before the rear wheels, the clear look of the lower posterior lets everybody see the go-fast bits putting down all the muscle to the road, which is just what the doctor ordered for the prepped surface of the drag strip.
