Oh berkeley yes! It's like a Vector-SVX-Foxbody!!!
I'll take the gold jumpsuit too.
Let’s all go back to 1980. The Fox-body Mustang was totally new. Gold jumpsuits were in. So was feathered hair. And rally, too, with the Europeans all heavily involved in the sport.
Looks like Ford debated entering the fray with this 1980 Mustang RSX concept. Ghia created the Fox-based one-off, widening the track by an inch while trimming 5.6 inches from the wheelbase. Ride height was said to be higher, too. Power came from the turbo 2.3.
Bonus points for the multi-piece wheels, fender flares and what resemble DeLorean-like windows inside windows.
13/10, totally would drive it today. What's your rating?

I like how the front overhang was reduced from the Mustang. Big door glass is kind of nice, it looks like it was bonded to a door frame at the perimeter? Slot windows should be larger in a production version but I imagine they would have lost this entirely. In any case, I like it. Too bad it didn't make it to production.
Those side windows can't roll down into the door, and you can't fit today's medium sized drink through that mail slot. Clearly the solution is integrated T-Tops on gullwing doors.
I'd get a driving suit and helmet that makes me look like a member of Daft Punk and rock the hell out of it.
