While the Mustang legacy continued to burnish bright from the early to mid-80s, Ford’s product development team was looking for alternatives to the popular Fox-body. By 1987, it was again time for Mustang to evolve with the changing market.

A triumphant new design debuts in 1994, and it's an immediate hit. The 1994 model year marked the beginning of the fourth generation of Mustangs.
1994 Ford Mustang "Bruce Jenner" Concept SketchThe galloping pony emblem returned to the front grille after a 16-year absence, and the Mustang now had a shapely, rounded body available as a two-door fastback coupe or a convertible. The 1994 Mustang also offered the first purpose-built convertible in more than two decades (as opposed to a conversion of a hardtop car), and its 5.0-liter V-8 engine produced 215 horsepower. “It was an immediate hit,” said Boddie. “The demand was greater than our supply.”
1994 Ford Mustang "Rambo" Concept SketchThe designers had come up with three different mock-ups, nicknaming them “Bruce Jenner” (after the Olympic athlete), “Rambo” (after Sylvester Stallone’s movie character) and “Arnold Schwarzenegger” (after the muscular movie star, now governor of California.) “Rambo was the most far out design. It looked like a snorting bull,” chuckled Boddie. “The ‘Bruce Jenner’ Mustang was the most refined, and the ‘Arnold Schwarzenegger’ model was in between the two. That was the one that we chose.”
"Fords goal was to create a vehicle that would be recognizable as a Mustang, even without the budging,” Bodied said. “It had to have traditional Mustang attributes, such as the three-box design, the long hood and the cockpit-like interior. And it had to symbolize power.”
The design the designers chose was reminiscent of the vintage pony cars, yet modern enough to suit the changing tastes of auto enthusiasts. Its code name was SN95, and though its platform was a derivative of the Fox introduced in 1979, there was little resemblance between the two; 1,330 of the vehicle’s 1,850 parts had been changed.
