I was able to secure a few VIN's. At this point all but one was for a loaded DH. In essence, these early cars were not bodies in white with a VIN built to be GTD's but were completed vehicles which were then stripped down, cut up, and then made into a GTD. I did get one VIN that was pure GTD and...
Looks to me like somebody thought they'd obfuscate by inverting a shot of the rear wing. It didn't make sense to me until I rotated it...
It should look like this. The view is from the driver side looking towards the passenger side along the bottom of the wing.
In photos taken in Vegas at the reveal you can clearly see a lengthy CF driveshaft, a fabricated tubular rear cradle that houses the transaxle and allows an anchor point for the cantilevered dampers to reside above it. Definitely going to be interesting to see the interface where the driveshaft...
Anyone that appreciates hardware is going to love the cantilevered rear suspension (with Multimatic dampers), CF driveshaft, Tremec DCT transaxle, and supposed front SLA. It was shown at the small get together the other day and you'll see it all shortly.
Pricing to start at 300k...
Why would the GT4 translate into something it wasn't before either? The car is used in a number racing series' in North America and Europe. There's never been a push for a tamer, street version and that isn't going to change.

The GT3 street version continues to move forward. No, you won't see as much fiber as the race version but the SLA might just make it to the street car. Torque tube and a DCT transaxle as well? Ford would...
That's what I thought. Word is Multimatic is involved in the street version as well. It just so happens that Ford GT production is ending, providing an opportunity to engage the assets in place with another project. This one is well beyond the last GT500 that Ford produced. There is word that it...
There's an SHW rotor beneath those wheels as well.
I believe you are looking at over a quarter of a million dollars for the full zoot GT3 street car. This isn't going to be easy to come by as some may have been thinking.
They are merely testing an exhaust system on a rather mundane prototype. The street version of the GT3 will be quite a bit "different" than what you see there.
Trivial indeed. Race vehicles that utilize fiber are typically rough in terms of fitment. Panels are not intended to be Class A (IE, Class designations for paint, etc). Gap consistency is clearly not a primary concern here.
At least Ford didn't roll with pieces of a puzzle being released over time so you didn't know how much HP the GT500 had until the end. That was annoying as F***.
I was holding out on this one, hoping Ford would give the DH some really great binders. With 500hp being fairly close to the GT350's 526hp, and likely even heavier weight, it would seem a natural to use brakes similar to what the GT350 used. That would imply the aluminum knuckle and a radial...
