GT350 renderings

[Twin Turbo]

Mods........please move to the Photoshop area if you see fit, I just thought it might be nice to have a GT350 specific rendering thread

Anyway........just in case anyone missed Topnotch's post in the Magazine Cover thread, here are C&D's GT350 renderings

I'm beginning to think the people who run Car and Driver are the biggest idiots in the magazine business.

We've clearly seen different wheels and brakes on the camo-ed SVT cars, yet C&D uses the 19-inch split spoke wheels we've seen on the regular cars and non-upgraded brakes.

The wheels we've seen aren't neccessarily production wheels. I hope they are as they had a very aggressive look, but we've seen S550 mules running around with all kinds of wheels that haven't made it onto any of the revealed carshow models.

If they leave the front bumper alone, I think there will be a lot of unhappy people around here.

That hood isn't that aggressive as I would expect from a Shelby. I know it's a render but doesn't look great.

The original '65 shelby that this car celebrates the 50th aniv of was a very very simple car that only had a tiny hoodscoop. Everything doesn't need to look like a roid'ed up hotwheels car to look aggressive. Same thing with "muscular" and people thinking the new car needs to be more of a slab sided brick to look muscular. I don't get it.

Little known fact: the 65 gt350 hood scoop originally faced rearwards like a cowl induction scoop and the car was actually faster that way, but they changed it for aesthetics.

C&D "25 Cars worth waiting for"

Guys might be interested in this, just recieved my copy of Car & Driver and the 2016 Ford Mustang "Shelby" GT350 is one of the highly anticipated vehicles to wait for.

Article speculates it will have a flat plane crank(Voodoo engine, I know you guys have been on topic on this), rev to 8000 rpm, deliver 550HP, and mounted to a manual transmission and sending its power to a LSD!!!!!

Arrival Date and price: 2016/ $50,000

Just read that article: 550 na hp at 8000 rpm and mentioned flat crank, hmm maybe the writers are reading too many mustang forums themselves.

Enough random guesses on the forums, one is bound to be correct

Its not going to be a '16 model.
Manual trans to an LSD? Insanity.

Manual trans to an LSD? Insanity.

I know, crazy right? That makes my car a rare, ultimate performance car then with its manual trans and LSD!:hail:

I would love for an 8000rpm V8. I doubt it's going to happen. I see the first above-GT model being FI.

 

[Trackaholic]

The videos posted of this car testing clearly sound like a cross plane crank. IMO there is no way a flat plane crank will be used. How is Ford going to afford developing an engine for this car that no other vehicle in their lineup will use? Just does not make sense. A "roadrunner2" I can understand, and I'm guessing that some version of the car will have that type of power plant. It will be a 7500 RPM engine capable of ~500 HP. Anything more and Ford will go forced induction.

I think C&D must have recently gone to Colorado and toked up a bit too much!

True, they do. But if. as DMV has posted, GT350 testing will continue through 2014, I guess there's a chance to prototypes may be running a placeholder engine..........or they may be trialing different engine options. Those options could include both CPC and FPC and they'll settle on one for production :shrug:
