Thanks for this info.
Are you able to tell us whether (if you know) the car will have halogens standard on any of the trims or were the halogens that we saw in the spy pics just used as a placeholder until the HIDs were ready?
I'm suspicious maybe this is why they didn't show the V6 anywhere.
The GT with the Recaros (as seen in LA) has halogens. It's difficult to tell but the HIDs have a chrome highlight around the outer edge and, of course, have the 3 gills that light up. The halogens have a square lamp next to the main round lamp, too.
HID
Halogen
Someone did post some much better comparison shots on here, but I can't find them at the moment!

Yep, quite possibly a base model..............and yet it had what I assume if the performance pack (19" wheels/2 extra gauges in the dash etc).
Still base model with track pack and recaros. You can do that with the base model 2014 GT. I'd assume the 2015 will be he same. Possible cheaper head lights with the base model this time or it could just be a preproduction thing.Yep, quite possibly a base model..............and yet it had what I assume if the performance pack (19" wheels/2 extra gauges in the dash etc).

I noted in a different thread: It's most likely that they threw a bunch of options and pieces together to give people an idea of what will be offered, but not exactly what engine and trims options are together for production.
No that is the base model GT with track pack and recaros. Which to all these road racers the model they will buy its the cheapest lightest best performance model. Its the Z28 haha. Stripped down no option model. If you goto ford.com and build and price a 2014 you can build this exact car it comes out to 34k.

Don't get too absorbed with what will be offered as standard/optional based on these few press vehicles. My first comment regarding halogens being used in prototypes applies to these first "big reveal" cars as well.. These first few cars are still very much preproduction, as details and packaging will vary. Just because one of these first few cars has/doesn't have something, doesn't mean it is representative of what will be production.
As for whether or not HID's will be standard, I honestly do not know. It would be awesome if HID's were standard, considering they were for 13MY and 14MY.

Just to clarify something, production parts were used for ALL of the reveal cars. There is nothing prototype about it (as in no unfinished parts). I've heard from friends intimately involved with the reveal that the events were scheduled in time for all production parts to be available and hand assembled onto the prototypes.
With that said, they ARE pre-production cars and Ford is free to change anything it wants although I think this is pretty much what we will get. To the point of the poster above me, we definitely shouldn't try to make too much of the packages as far as what the GT or Ecoboost will get but expect halogens to be on at least one of the trims. Ford clearly had the ability to show a fully loaded car with HIDs on every trim but they didn't. They wanted people to see the halogens and the non MFT screen (shown in LA) even on the GT. This wasn't a careless oversight or slapping on whatever parts they had available. Keep that in mind.
