I prefer wing delete options, so I hope they do have that.

Also, there may be two trims of the GT500 as with the 350.

Or they could have just omitted the wing on this prototype/mule to make it stand out less.
Yeah... maybe they just omitted the wing because by the looks of it they wanted it to look like a regular Mustang.

Also, the "aero bits" make me think that this car is the R variant or something like that (maybe using parts of the "R" Variant for testing purposes), since we didn't see those parts on the teaser video/picture.

I would like something along the lines of the non-R GT350 spoiler.

I don't understand how anyone can say the 18 headlights are better looking than the 15-17 the new ones and the grill opening is hideous looking to me! This gt500 is going to be sharp.

With the camo being reduced this much, I'd guess it will hit the Nurburgring any day now.

I like to disassemble things.
Evidence from this photo is a subtle reminder that we are heading into the future knowing that, in terms of appearance, we already peaked.
It wasn't easy to let that car go in preparation for this one. I agree on how good of a job they did with it.

Needs more vents...
As I mentioned earlier, the vents that Ford design developed do not have a raised louver like some of the early photos depict. Think 911 GT3 RS. It has yet to be captured (for the public to see anyway) and hopefully Ford doesn't bail on it.

I absolutely don't see it? What is going to make this so special? There is nothing in those pictures that makes me regret not waiting on this car so far! I mean where's the beef! I can't be the only one that thinks it's going to look to much like your garden variety Mustang! They could have at least widen the track or something seeing it's taken several years to release. Any way maybe that wrap is just really really damn good at hiding what is under it!!
I agree. These photos do nothing for me

It went to a good owner. Hopefully youre getting updates on it.

Because it's a personal opinion.

I prefer the 18s, you prefer the 15-17s......and we're both right :)

He put a Watson 4 point and harness in it in preparation for this year's track season. Good people. Can't wait to pick up the GT500 from him!

In previous spy shots from behind and side, it looked like the GT500 was wider than regular GT. But now this car looks the same as GT/Gt350. Why?

Could this be the next GT350 and not GT500 test car?
