I'm seeing more than a quite a few Capri Mk1 design cues in those design proposals. I'd imagine some of the design team worked on them both.
I wouldn't doubt the same teams interchanged at some point or another.

I wonder how close we really came to having a factory mid-engine Mustang...

Who knows. It was intended to be a mid engined V4 car.

Well the sketch looks a lot like a GT40, so I'd assume "not very"

The car was originally designed around the Ford GT.

Who would've thought this car actually existed? The Phaeton! From GT2! I used to loev while otehr 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.

HEY Slash, where did you find all these pictures???:confused::confused:
Most of them are directly from Ford, others from scavenging the internet.

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.

So there's more? :lol:
 
If you're in the Tampa area and you see this thing on the road, you're probably not tripping.

EXP Airocycle. AKA "Freedom 1". Built with the F-106 Delta Dart in mind, with a motorcycle chassis at the rear.

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.

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.
 
The Packard-Bentley 42 litre Mavis Special, essentially a modified Bentley chassis with a Packard marine engine:

A few facts:
  • 1500bhp
  • 2000lbs ft (2700nm)
  • 42 litre (2563.00 cu in) V12
  • Weighs 2.4 tons
  • Engine is from a WW2 torpedo boat
Has been light-heartedly called the "biggest automotive waste of time, money and engineering expertise ever built".

That must be impossible to drive

1500BHP?!

This totally crushes that AWD hot rod I've put in the hotrod/muscle/custom thread.

Jeeze.

This thing laughs at the tank car
 
🤬 HELL!

Now imagine that in GT6. Special Stage Route X against Red Bull X2014 Fan car

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.

That thing sleeps way too much
You know what in sayin right

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.
