“I definitely, with the wheel inspiration, was looking at a lot of the racing — you know, IMSA cars of the day, like the Zakspeeds. And even the GTP Mustang, which looked more like a Group C car than a Mustang,” says Taylor.
That said, the teams were careful not to ape anything directly from the Fox Body Mustang GTs we all know well; Ford does love retro-futurism, but the design team always tries to keep pushing things forward. The interior is a great example of that, with cloth inserts inspired by the fabric seat option from that period. It does enough to harken back to that era, but with modern materials and tech. (Your Fox isn’t going to provide heated and cooled seats, for instance).
