Wow, all this for that? It doesn't look bad but doesn't look bad a$$ neither. Hopefully the performance is more exciting!

How stupid high do you think the ADM will be? We’ve seen $20k on the GT350R. $30k? Screw it...why not $40k?

I bet it will be shown in Jan Auto show as GM will be showing C8.

If Ford wants to sell this car, they must stop Dealer's markup as it pisses people off and walk away.

Hoping they just caught it from the worst possible angle. But i agree with many others, the vent missing is a huge deal. It upped the aggressive nature of the 350 so much.

I have liked every S550 iteration, so surely this will look better in person

It's what I expected. Not a great looking car but it'll be effective.

I dunno. Reserving judgment on appearance until I can see one. I have no doubt it will be a stellar performance car.

I don't know I'm sure it's going to be a badass car but the front end of that thing looks like a step back from my GT350. In my opinion the GT350 is S550 perfection as far as Aesthetics go.

Reminds me of some Roush type.... Would it look better if the middle panel was body color?

It seems to not use side vents like the GT350 unless the photos are not clear and they are hard to spot?

Try 80k for GT350R ADM, Peoria Ford in Arizona! I bet we'll see 100k markups for the GT500.

Where are the fender gills that were spied?

like some have said the ADM forced me to get a C7 instead of a GT350 and I have been a ford guy since my mother bought a 1987 Taurus. I was dead set on a GT350 but the local dealers pissed me off enough to go to the dark side. i will be looking to get into a different car in 2021 and most likely it will be between the GT500 and the C8 and as far as looks go the C8 is in the lead. Ford please don't let me down.

The front is pretty neat and matches what we've been seeing - the body is sort of boring, expected way more pronounced fenders and/or something that made them stand out over a GT (or even the GT350 ), they may be wider, but visually it kind of looks the same. Heck, the vents on the front fenders of the GT350 look way better, though I realize this is a pretty poor photo to make too many judgements.
I heard it will be available in the US, eventually.

This blacked-out front grill garbage needs to stop...

It looks good if done right, but you can’t just stick that on everything because “it’s the cool thing the 20-somethings are into”.

The auto industry needs to stop puking stuff out and thoroughly look at the design of a car in its entirety - the front, side and rear need to be homogeneous.

Ford did a good job with the intial S550. The refresh was fine, but I don’t understand the big, bland lower grill area. Not as bad as the Camaro refresh!

Stop just throwing “cool stuff” on.

2019 Camaro SS Transformers front end and partially integrated tail lights...

2020 GT500 looks like a bro-front-ended GT350..

Seems like my rendering was pretty spot on. https://www.mustang6g.com/forums/threads/2019-shelby-gt500-rendering.96855/
I think the GT350 looks way better, it's just the perfect S550 design. The GT500 looks over the top.

I agree that the black bumper bar is not really fitting the look of the car, but of course this could only be the pictures because you can't see the big hood vents. Or at least I'm not a fan of that tredn. But Chevy is backpedaling the blackout on the 2019 Camaro SS bumper, so hopefully you can order a painted bumper for the final GT500 :fingerscrossed:
