Motor Trend mentioned that this prototype has dual rear break calibers ?

Camo is working so well you missed the covers over the area where the gills will be revealed.
I could clearly see every other detail, just couldn’t convince my brain I was seeing the vents

Great job of appearing to only be vinyl wrap. Some serious details are invisible.

Even some added pieces to smooth it out.

This car is going to look ultra modern and tough.

Not like the Camaro, which is moving to a Fischer Price toy look.

Lol no they aren't. Ford SVP basically confirmed they're going with 15-17 headlights last week.
And that is disappointing. Flagship car, and they can't even put the 18+ headlights on it...

Granted, a lot of folks don't like things about the front of the '18+, myself included, however it seems most of the issues are with the bottom half of the fascia. Using what will be a 6 year old design, and since updated, is just lazy, and a cop-out IMO. I think they could have really made the refreshed front look menacing.

This is the only thing that bothers me.

The 15-17 lights are a decent enough design. but they are outdated now.

And they look old.

It makes no sense to use them on the top models.

I wish they went with a one-off headlight design that was even more modern than the 18's. But whatevs.

This looks a lot better than the previous renderings. Looks like the fender vents will be more angular and narrow and hopefully bumper won't be black. 15-17 headlights make this look good. New rear ones not so much.

Oh god that front end and hood look incredible. I can’t wait to see this monster in fully un-camouflaged form.


Does anyone else think those rocker panel covers look really similar to the aftermarket style ones with rear winglets sold by American Muscle, but swapped so the winglets are at the front?

Interesting. I talked to my dealer today, no surprise he had no information to pass along.

Looks like a different rear caliper too and a separate parking brake out back...

Why have an extra caliper for the park brake?

May be an electric parking brake caliper. The small one that is.

Why is everyone all of a sudden so shocked and disappointed that they're retaining the 15-17 headlights? That's one of the few things the teaser clearly confirmed and it's clear they wanted to use the aerodynamic benefits of the GT350 front end.
