That car is plenty wide.

It's the same width as a normal s650 friend. If it was a GTD mule, those wheels would be sticking out a few inches on both sides.

A GTD mule doesn't have to be running the GTD wheels/tires. Again, mules are not exact replicas.

Who knows at this point, we're both just spitballing here. Time will tell. Monterey car week is coming up in less than 2 weeks. That was where they surprised everyone with the GTD last year. Maybe they'll discuss whatever this is at this year's event. No-one knows but Ford.

It looks like the rear end has cooling vents for a transaxle setup. This car was also seen in this thread: https://www.mustang7g.com/forums/th...le-coming-in-2025.160971/page-15#post-3276567

If you look in the back window you can see it has rear seats so I don't think it's a mid engine.

Whoever is currently driving this mule lives in the same subdivision as one of our engineers. He showed me a picture of it in the driveway. I told him he should stop by and have a chat ...

In those photos of the car on the cell phone you can clearly see it has rear seats so how can it be mid engine?

Never really noticed the reaper deck scoops on the GTD before.
‘’but yeah, this looks exactly the same.
im in total agreement that this is a GTD DEVELOPMENT MULE.
Possibly a powertrain setup.

Heck yea!

It's a shame there are multiple Reality Shows on TV on stupid **** like UFOs and Big Feet; when those show's wanna be investigators could be spending their time much more constructively investigating real hi rez photographic evidence of Mystery Mustangs Among Us!

Just sayin......................

its more than likely an idiot and stick on parts trying to make it look that way. No firewall or break between the drivers compartment and "engine" its highly unlikely ford would have that out on the road even if it is legit. Too much liability. They have an excellent test facility for that.

No, it’s not some idiot. Look inside the trunk fence. You can see two electric fans. It’s a test vehicle all right radiator in the back. It’s gotta be a testing for some sort of hybrid in the front. Move the radiator get more room.

Looks like they are testing rear mount heat exchangers (radiator). You can see the intake and exhaust.

The plate sports a 2025 date, which sort of hints to a GTD prototype.
