I certainly wouldn't say no to a GT500 with Rocket influences, especially in terms of the way the wide body is beautifully integrated, rather than the bolt-on jobs seen on far too many cars at SEMA.

I'm still intrigued by the camo'd S550 your partner saw in LA a few months back though. I can't believe it hasn't been seen since!

:)
The wide body yes. The brick wall grill? No.

Agreed. I think the grille is too much. Looks much nicer in these Photoshops :headbang:

Much better. But the bottom one still looks just like the original and the second one is just an amalgam with the rousch complete with the fogs in the wrong location.

The top one is ok.

I just think the wide body elements are what give it the good looks. I'd like to see fisker give it another go. He's actually a talented designer, but he missed the mark on the Rocket.

If he could modernize further -and not in a retro-modern Gotham city kind of way, I'm betting we would see something special.

That said, Ford seems to be really modernizing their entire lineup.

The Mustang HAD to be what it is for the 50th.

But I'm betting we see a significant departure from the 1960's looking mustang designs in a couple years. Looking forward to that.

The gt500 or whatever it's called won't be adding exterior bulk.

It doesn't look good, doesn't make it faster, and cheapens the appeal.

The Mustang will be getting sleeker.

I need to go driving around the valley to see if I can spot anything. There's gotta be something floating around now since the LA auto show is going on.

Yes, that's what good Australian engineering can do, from the factory direct.

And what did the morons at the factory do???? Cease production of all Aussie built cars:frusty:

Hard to make a 50 state emissions legal TT Coyote. I don't know if anyone makes one at all at this point to be honest. If so, I haven't seen it.

It didn't get a lot of love when released, but this GAS/Fisker Rocket is sooooo close to what I'd want a GT500/KR to look like. Henrik even confirmed the '68 GT500 was the inspiration.

OK, I'd change the grille and wheels, but EVERYTHING else can stay :headbang:

What an abortion...
