At this years North American International Auto Show in Detroit Ford brought a host of 2011 Mustangs including their first variant with the 5.0-liter motor, the 2011 California Special Mustang GT.  The GT/CS model as it's known was first introduced back in 1968 with mostly body modifications and a graphics package.  This package stayed true to it's origins when it was reintroduced in 2007 for a three year model run.  Now the California Special package is back for the 2011 Mustang GT with similar body modifications and graphics package like the 2007 model.  No details have been released by Ford as of yet but from a photo of the GT/CS on the NAIAS floor we see a new grille with pony badge, new lower front fascia, new lower rear fascia with diffuser similar to that of the GT500, side scoops, 18-inch wheels and the classic GT/CS graphics on each side of the Mustang.  Check back down the road for more news as it's released.

For a complete high-res gallery of the 2011 GT/CS Mustang GT head on over to AutoBlog.com.

    I really like that grille. Has the look of a billet grille. Also nice to see its not California only this time.
