That would be nice, even better if Ford sticks with a classic displacement, like 351 which is doable in the Coyote V8 footprint, but maybe on the extreme end of poking, stroking, and sleeving the block. JPC did it!Looks good to me. I will take a twin turbo 5.5L version, call is a gt500 and give me 700 from the factory!!!
*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.
I hope your right that none of the renders so far are close to the actual GT350. I don't just wanna see a different hood scoop and side vents. I'd like to see a new fascia all together.Hey cool, thanks for re-posting!
I probably won't take a crack at it only because I think the car is going to be unveiled soon...think at the New York Auto Show possibly? Is that still happening or just a rumor?
After talking with my "source", although I have no details at all, what was said was that nobody has gotten even close to what the new GT350 will look like - not even me - with photochops or concept renderings. The good thing I heard - and I believe this person has actually seen the car - is that the new GT350 is the furthest departure from the GT model than any other SVT has been from the GT version ever. Apparently it's really out there! Which is a good thing for the potential SVT Mustang buyer.

Don't want to derail but if all goes well, I'll be too busy finishing up design work on a 2015 Mustang for SEMA. for atleast 1 maybe 2 cars. Front 3/4 view is done and it looks awesome. Plan on sharing after May 1st. I'm pretty stacked up with freelance work now. I really like what I did with the GT500 concept and if I were to build one it'd look like that
I agree. All of the renders thus far look like someone tacked on scoops and spoilers to a GT. I'm hoping for as much differentiation as there was between the 2007-09 Shelby and regular GTI hope your right that none of the renders so far are close to the actual GT350. I don't just wanna see a different hood scoop and side vents. I'd like to see a new fascia all together.
Johnny, will we see any of your design work for the S550 at the next SEMA? Looking forward to seeing it, anything you can share so far?
It's said to be the furthest departure from a Gt an SVT has ever been.
As far as exterior goes - We know it's going to have something going on with the hood...I'll place my bets on some sort of heat extractor hood. It looks as if we're getting a high winding V8 with a flat plane crank N/A so I'd guess the hood will have some sort of heat extractor vs. a scoop. There's also heat extractor/aero treatments on the front fenders behind the front wheels on the camo-covered prototype car. Probably a different rear wing, front fascia, rear fascia, rear lower splitter,wheels, and tail pipes.
