Those rocker panel wings gotta go! So does the R grille restrictor.

Nice work, but could you help me understand the fog lights?... they're clashing.

Also, I'm pretty sure Ford is going for the 200mph mark... that wing will inhibit that. Maybe a more subtle Gurney lip?

Wasnt the old GT500 touted (controversially) to be able to do 200mph off of the showroom floor?

Will or should the GT500 be another straight-line bruiser like the Hellcat and old GT500 or should it be an all-around great track performer?

I guess what's the position of the GT500 vs GT350? Or Z28 vs ZL1? Theres a full-time Vette prototype running around as well.

I'm sure, in the grand tradition of the original GT500 that this version will be no different and will be a straight line bruiser due to the weight of front of turbos or SC and necessary cooling packages.

That being said, I wouldn't be opposed to various downforce packages, but I'll bet this baby will no doubt be singing past 200mph.

The last GT500 was a decent track performer, it did have a track pack option.
Its anyones guess if ford will want to compete more for the strip or the track, or both like the zl1. I would prefer a strip based car with 800+ HP, but i bet anything ford makes like the last gen. Track capable with a strip emphasis and 750 HP.

The hood is not correct at all... and the "brake ducts" are suppose to be large and engulfing. I expect the bumper cover to be decreased in thickness somewhat and possibly blacked out. The fangs follow the design of the grill opening and resemble the "Superman" symbol. A forward mounted Heat Exchanger might be visible?

The GT500 is using a Wing and will close to the roof in height and styled very similar using the roofs lines.

The Hot V Turbo should allow the GT500 to collect cold air from the hood, in almost Ram Air fashion. The Audi and AMG both have cold air collectors on top. Not possible in a traditional Twin Turbo setup as each turbo is usually mounted low and out.

Brake ducts in this rendering look about the same area, just different shape. Oil and transmission cooler duct openings are a bit smaller, due to the fog lights taking up half the area.

all critics - whether the render is 100% functional as a GT500 or not it's a beautiful job. He's got my money if that were the design

Looks more like a MY 18 refresh with track aero then any of the GT3XX/5XX prototypes we have seen around.

Looks like the current gt with some hood pieces tacked on, a wacky rear spoiler, and fogs that don't mesh with the car.

The wheels are cool though.

The wheels are my favourite part of the render...

It is good to see the panel alignment issues, even in the render.

Sorry, No interest in that.

Yeah,.....I'm with you. No thanks.
Looks like a modded GT350 to me. :shrug:
