I wouldn't doubt the same teams interchanged at some point or another.
Who knows. It was intended to be a mid engined V4 car.
The car was originally designed around the Ford GT.

Who would've thought this car actually existed? The Phaeton! From GT2! I used to love it while others thought it was ugly...well, I say it's reasonable. But this is even a convertible version, huh.

They only built one Phaeton and it was built with a power retractable convertible hardtop. The top was always up while driving in GT2, so that's understandably why you might have thought that it was a sedan.
I mean, if you're gonna name your car after the the phaeton body-style, it should be a convertible, right? Heh, VW screwed up by using the name on a 4door sedan. The Chrysler concept also has a second cowl and windshield between the front and rear passengers like many traditional phaetons. I love it.

But you know what's sad? This and the Copperhead are the only concepts as far as I know, that are in GT2. And both aren't drive-able in real life.
Oh, and the Concept Car/Copperhead LM Race Car. If the copperhead didn't even enter in production, I wonder what polyphony about it...perhaps live it up to the legend.
There's one cars I love but on one give's a damn about it anymore..The Viper RT/10. Not concept, there's very few of these things now. If SRT ever make the RT/10 on their new viper and add it as SRT/10, the usual thing you'd expect, that, would be great. The only one to come close was the late 2000's one, which is my second fave. But oh well.
And surprised no one havee put this car. Say hello to the Banshee.

@mustang fanatic @Badasp5.0
New, just in photos from Ford. These are Mustang prototypes/concepts. Some might not be, but these are from the archives.
HEY Slash, where did you find all these pictures???

Most of them are directly from Ford, others from scavenging the internet.HEY Slash, where did you find all these pictures???
Ford's got plans to release a ton of previously unreleased footage and images here pretty soon. A lot of documentation was damaged in a water line pipe burst under the headquarters though.

Essentially an M12 (more specifically, the race car which broke down after about an hour), but with an LT1 engine and a Porsche transaxle. What makes it interesting is that they literally just cobbled it together from parts they could get cheap and said 'uhh yeah we're gonna build it' before they went bust.
Toyota Aygo Crazy
Basic facts
- Rear wheel drive.
- Mid engined with a 1.8 litre MR2/Celica unit (and then modified with a TTE turbo kit). Power is just under 200 HP.
- ABS, power steering, brake servo assistance and traction control are absent.
- Carbon rear wing, taken from a Toyota Champ Car.
- Full roll cage and 4-point harnesses (but still has the stock seats).
- Cost them £100,000 to build.

I'm serious. They use turbos to make the engines exceed 3000hp.

It would be quite a bit slower, since one has the best aerodynamics a humungous PR budget can claim anything they want to have; and the other is shaped like the aircraft carrier Mustang.🤬 HELL!

Are you serious? The enormous meats out back and obvious drag tires and wheels up front, the driver-enclosing rollcage (which would be the biggest give-away to the car's potential, since a slower... read slower: 9 seconds or more, car, doesn't need such type of cage to be legal) are dead-on clues that this is a veeeery serious car. You might not expect a 3,000 hp punch, but I'd at least wagger at 1,500.
And also, that thing is far from capable of fully using the 3k hp it generates. It's a freaking death-trap.
