A series of design sketches for the seventh-generation ‘Stang by chief designer Christopher Stevens that were released with the car's reveal at the Detroit Auto Show include a version that didn’t make the cut… yet.
It's a four-door sedan featuring a stretched wheelbase and roof that could potentially be a competitor to the likes of the BMW 4-series Gran Coupe and Porsche Panamera.
Ford hasn't confirmed any intentions to build something like it, but reportedly told its dealers in 2018 that a four-door model was under consideration, Autoweek reported.
