It's a prototype. Not in production yet. It will not be a plush interior anyway.
It's made for racing primarily. You should NOT be seeing these pictures yet,
but I thought I would share.

J/K It is a nice car but Mustangs have always been about brute performance not their interiors.

AWESOME! I'd love to drive that car around. Do you know if the GT500s will be a stripped interior?

It'd be sweet to hang with C5 Vettes in a 'Stang. >=]

Thanks for sharing those pics! Just make sure you and your shop don't get in trouble for posting those pictures.

Every car should come with a bright red emergency stop button!

ITs more than likely a prototype only thing. If something goes wrong, it just kills the engine or something like that.

It's a Ford...of course something will go wrong! Maybe they have finally realized their own faults and so they added a kill switch for safety measures.

I wouldn't mind having the power but I hate the package it comes in.

It looks so cheap. But, if it were nice inside it'd be $80k.

For starters:
Blinker switch
A/C controls
E brake
And that front grille, looks almost like it's going to fall out.


This outside looks great though. I can almost hear it purring.
