We've just uploaded this extended cut video, fresh from track testing today at the Nurburgring! Enjoy.

SVT engineers tried to escape the prying eyes of American Mustang fans when it hopped across the ocean to test the next SVT Mustang at the Nurburgring track in Germany, now free of the heavy camouflage we had seen to date..... but we now have an (almost) unadulterated look at the new design of SVT's latest creation!

High performance cues include many elements that we have all been expecting from previous spy photos: prominent hood scoop, functional front fender vents, aggressive front splitter and a front fascia that lends itself even more to the "Cobra" moniker expected of this hi-po model. Out back, we also see the quad tip exhaust that have been seen in early prototypes.

The sporty, multi-spoke wheels on this test car are wrapped in Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires. Inside the wheel we see large, cross-drilled rotors and enormous brake calipers.

The next SVT Mustang is expected to be due in mid-2015.

Food for thought -- Given this car's extensive aero package, and its brake and tire package, could we be looking at a race-spec version of the new SVT Mustang?

That didn't take long...

Based on the brakes and tires, I'd guess that this is the "Leguna Seca" equivalent model. Maybe they'll name this one after the 'Ring?

Yeah me too unfortunately, maybe a couple years yet =]. Thanks for posting. It is nice to see the S550 outfitted for a more race inspired look. Can't wait to change my GT front end and other accents.

That has to be a track package of some sort. I don't think they could get away with that much front splitter on a street car. BUT, I REALLY like it!

I like how the fangs extend down into the lower grill before curling back. Some sculpture happening there.

I bet we'll know the SVT's HP and TRQ numbers before the GT! ;)

The car looks promising. I hope they offer it in a few variations from street to full race. At least they don't have to bother with the black camo anymore now that the world has seen it Zebra style.

Holy sexy time! That front is amazing. Can anyone see what size tires it's wearing?

But more importantly, someone with good photoshop skills get on replacing the camo with paint!
