Here's what we know so far: that wonderful flat plane crank V8 with at least 500 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque; Ford's first ever magnetic ride suspension; 130 pounds lighter than the GT350; and no air conditioning or a rear seat.

Love that car but the chin spoiler would have to go

 

[GOTSVT?]

Hmmmmm, not feeling the rims. All else looks ok.

Beautiful car, But I'd have to agree.... Needs different rims.

Well since they're 100% carbon fiber, you can feel free to add about 40lbs with your aluminum wheels of choice and probably make a pretty penny when selling those as well.

Wing and wheels? No gusta. The rest I can deal with.

for everyone bitching about how this and that looks - they make a mustang GT and base GT350 for you. this car isn't for you.

Anybody notice the 8k rpm redline?

 

[fangstang]

Horrible looking wheels.

That's more like 8250 the way I see it. This FPC is gonna be a screamer. My buddy was at the unveiling and said it makes an ungodly noise.

I would imagine the processes required to make the wheels played a large part in the final design of the wheels. Plus whatever size/shape the spokes needed to be to meet safety regulations, etc.

+1. Wheels were made for performance primarily, aesthetics second.

Ford dropping all the mics on NAIAS!! Ford GT, Raptor EcoBeast and GT350R!

In the end it was real, Carbon Fibre wheels. Damn.

Cant wait to see the R vs Z/28 comparos!

 

[Mr. Mach-ete]

Looks killer IMO.
