Rando ! Did you intend to say a continuation of the current S-197 or were you actually referring to the previous SN-95 ?

 

Either way, I doubt its correct.

 

Same here ! As we all know the upcoming S550 will not evolve from the current S-197 and especially not from the previous SN-95..


I'll put my faith in J. Mays from Ford who has stated time and again that the S550 will be a completely new and modern design but will still be recognizable as a Mustang..

 

If you ask me all the pics show is a mule that is pieced together. No reason to test a uni-body only the underlying engine / drive-train is something that would need tested IMO.. The rest is easily tested without being on the public roads.. but again my .02..

 

I found a couple new pictures over at Mustang6G.com. We can't have them one-upping TMS in the spy shot department now!

 

From that last pic, I see a honeycomb grille, Pony in the middle, and a possible hatch with the back seats down.

 

Yawn

Edit- although that roof padding looks like its about 5' thick.. Nice cover up

 

Very slick pattern.

 

I feel like we are looking at Ferrari prototypes just covered in random stuff and a ton of it.

 

What really is the point of the countless "spy" photos of the same cars with the same camo on? It's not going to magically reveal something not seen yet. They're not really "spy" photos when they are taken on public roads. Not only is the outside covered in padded camo, the whole interior, minus the seats, is also covered.

 

Helps pass the time for the overeager Mustang fan, all of whom think they can see at least one significant detail in the camo'd car. Plus it's fun. Or frustrating. Or both. Like golf perhaps?!?!?

 

So... close the thread? What's your point

 

Yea it looks like they put the camo on it to make it resemble the shape of an S197 but I have a feeling it's not too close to the camo shape. Obviously right...

 

But we do see things we have not seen before....

Honeycomb grille is one of those things. Also, in one of the pics where we see the rear of two of the cars, the car on the right does NOT have a blind spot mirror integrated into its side-mirror, while the left car does.

 

Marz, nice catch on the new pics.

I think people overanalyze pictures. At this point, it's going to be very difficult to identify details, and that's done on purpose. Aside from the grille shape and wheel design, there's not much to tell. Once the camo starts to fall off, we can make more legitimate observations and not split hairs.

 

Look at the second photo. Looks like its a flat rear by the turn signal similar to the clay model we saw a while back...

 

Yep, and the latest spy shot (from Texas) is going to make it VERY difficult to identify details

 

Car on the left has four doors. Is this the rumoured 4-door Mustang?

 

That would be Durango in Colorado, not Durango in Texas. Durango Texas is in the eastern half of the state and in no way would look like the shots that are taken. Durango Colorado would have the mountains and Ponderosa pine that you can see in the shot. It would also make sense in that first these were in northern Arizona and have made their way to southwestern Colorado, not to eastern Texas. All high altitude testing. Durango Texas elevation is probably 1000 feet above seal level where Durango Colorado is well over a mile.

Not your fault Twin Turbo, just someone identifying the pics incorrectly then passing it along.

 

How I cleaned up the grille visible through the mesh. I added a pony and hood for show. I think this is a new honeycomb, similar to, but not identical to, the Evos. Seems a little shiny too.
