I don't know why they chose to use existing rocker panels on the car.

To screw us even more, i'm sure those are just tacked there to add to the confusion.

Cannot tell a whole lot from these pics, that camo is sure doing a hell of a job at hiding everything. Great job Ford...

Love it how Ford does whatever necessary to keep you from staring at the prototype. I.e. those hideous v6 wheels!

Are you kidding? they could take panels off a current car, camo it up, and people would be squawking about it.

I just confirmed this as well. In other S550 spy shots, the rear brakes are on the back portion of the rotor. S197 rear brakes are mounted on the leading side.

True. It was a joke regarding my feelings towards those wheels.

So if I am understanding it right.... that is a picture of an S197 with some element of the S550 underneath and an S550 car cover????

Not quite sure. It doesn't follow the other mules, which appeared to be S550 platforms with S197 bodies grafted over them. The car cover might be S550 based, but with the lack of pictures and detail, it's hard to say. The rear brakes, rocker panel, and wheels are all current car parts.
