The S650 as a race car

[Friend of Dorothy]

Unofficial Australian Supercar Mustang rendering; probably not based on any inside information, but who knows.

I wouldn’t be unhappy if it looked like this though, better looking than most renderings I have seen so far, although I prefer the mean look of the recessed headlights of the S550.

Only the top of the nose panel would be firmly based on the real production car.

Hmmm, odd that is doesn't seem to look anything like the leaked front ends we've seen so far. Those headlamps and lower fascia look very much Mach-E inspired.

I'd have thought it would have to reflect the styling of S650 more closely.

That being said, I don't dislike what appears in that image. The "Mach E" styling works much better with proper pony car proportions.

Thanks for posting


(edited to add...........I'd assumed the image above was official, but perhaps it's just an unofficial rendering?)

Yes, it’s an unofficial rendering of the race car.

TT, multiple versions of the CAD were available for over a decade. I believe we will see A LOT of fascia variations, including grill surround angles and bumper thickness.

A LOT of “unofficial” CAD has been circulated to media, some dealerships, Motorsport and aftermarket parts manufacturers.

thePill is excited!!!

…starting to look A LOT like the Roush advertisement from 2019.

You should know by now TT, thePill is hyper-vigilant. It just sucks he has to wait a decade for everyone else to catch up.

Just ask the guys over yonder about 7th Gen Camaro or a 6th Gen z28. A fact is the end result but the truth is a pursuit.

Let us hope this isn’t the last race…

But why do you say that the top of the nose panel in this render would be based on the real one?

If it looked like this instead of the black nose leaked I'd giving it serious thought.

Unlike the current Supercar Mustang and the NASCAR Mustang, the new generation bodywork of Supercars have to be virtually identical to the road going car, except below the the bumper bar (mid point). The bodywork below there needs to be bespoke for racing purposes, so is unlikely to closely resemble the real thing.

The image maybe based on what the artist has seen on websites such as this, or from what the local Ford team that is homologating the car knows, or has seen, from Ford/Ford Performance, or may be just artistic licence.

There is a significant Ford Performance media call on Friday regarding Supercar racing for next year, but I can’t imagine it would involve any tease photos of the car.
