2020 GT500 Mustang Caught Testing Uncovered For The First Time

[Hack]

I thought the GT350 was tested and spied with a roll cage as well? Maybe I'm imagining things. Either way, I pray they make it an option AND I hope they have factory installed tow bars.

Agree - especially on the factory tow points.

I spotted from tow hook point through the grille in the pictures before.

Yeah, not the first time that roll bar installed on a test car (back from 2017)

A number of prior SVT or Shelby preproduction cars used them for testing. Given current safety standards I believe it to be highly unlikely you'd ever see one make production in a Mustang.

Nice catch!

I still think this (and the other recent spy shots) is a GT350 and not GT500.

I think it’s for both cars, GT350 and GT500.

(The most recent one is a gt500 for sure)

You're entitled to an opinion, but in this case you're incorrect.

If FORD ever did install a roll bar , they would call it a support structure or some other name to keep the lawyers from using the term roll bar to indicate the car is designed to totally protect the driver and passengers in a rollover.

Something like the one offered in the M4 GTS, for the R model would be great.

Anyone know how much a roll bar would weight?

Watson racing states their roll bar is about 73 lbs shipping weight. It also uses ford factory mount points. This is probably what they’re using, as I’ve heard ford uses Watson cages.

Sadly, liability ain't what is used to be.

I'm pretty sure those were for mounting surf boards, there are even loops to tie down the board
