then why the camo?
Because they are prototypes that were originally covered in the heavy "duvet" camo.....with the cow camo underneath.

There are plenty of other photos of prototype GT/Ecoboost/V6 cars running around with semi-cow camo.

Because there aren't any cars built that are painted up, save for the show cars.

These camo cars are simply the vinyl-and-padding-covered prototypes with all of that taken off. (save for this mystery car, of course...)
I gotta ask, have you seen the hi po version (GT350/500/Cobra/whatever the hell ford wants to call it) without camo?

I can't get anything from anybody concerning unreleased info. Speculation is all I have. I know there will need to be at least two seperate turnkeys, one for IMSA and one for the SCCA. There is at least one OEM car, don't know if an R is needed.

If the OEM car is widely accepted in all the old Boss 302S classes... As is, that will be a huge leap forward. Far beyond the C6 Grand Sport and possibly beyond the Z06. That is something I'm eager to live with. It would force teams to buy the OEM car and convert it. Most need to do this to some degree now with the 302S.

If there is going to be a "Steed for every need", then I suspect Ford will pre-build class spec'd turnkeys... And they will need an different number just as the current 302R and 302R1 are marked. This isn't considering any possible efforts in Europes FIA. The Mustang has had a showing there in the last 10 years. I suspect it will be larger with the S550 because it is a better platform.

Speculation? Sure... but you can't say it's without some logic.
Fair enough, I also hope that this hi-po car goes that far into motorsports as well.

Another SVT prototype here. u can tell based on the covered wheels and the areas it is covered up. It's a crappy pic I know but it does seem like there's multiple ones out testing now....... maybe we'll actually see a strip show this time around. :shrug:

Here's another that was sent to us -- thanks to Blake C. It was spotted on Ocean Ave in Santa Monica.

Ford musta gotten sick of cold weather testing everywhere else in the country :)

Hey is it my imagination or does it look like the hood slopes more or the grill was dropped a bit compared to the regular 2015's?

I bet they have padding beneath the camo.

So the majority of people here believe it's N/A, correct? Some people over at SVT believe it'll be a bored out and blown 5.0 based motor with the heads from the GT. I'm aroused either way :D.
