Ford recently has been leading the way in innovation with announcing industry-first, as-standard carbon fiber wheels for the GT350R, and now has patented luminescent body panels and trim.
According to a leaked window sticker from the new Shelby GT350, we now know the fuel economy numbers for the new track-focused Mustang. And they remind us of the glory days.
When it became clear that Ford was going to put a high-output, racing-derived version of its 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 in its next GT, many citizens of the interwebs were livid. Greater fuel efficiency and increased power be damned, the V8 diehards hated the Blue Oval’s change in power plants.
The patent applications are for body panels that can be lit up through the use of LEDs. Essentially, Ford wants to be able to light up whole body panels, if they so choose.
