’23 Ford Mustang AWD
Here’s a first look at a very early mule for the next-generation (S650) Ford Mustang. Clearly based on the current S550 Mustang GT, the prototype is wearing light checkered camouflage on the front end, along with a smorgasbord of parts from various current Mustang variants: The lower splitter and side skirts are from the new Mach 1, and the dual-tip dual exhaust is an option on the GT and EcoBoost models. The most intriguing part is the execution of the rear brakes. While the regular Mustang GT features a small rear caliper mounted at the back of the rotor, this mule places a much larger caliper on the forward end of its rotor, with a small parking brake on the back of it. A set of cables entering the cabin from each wheel suggests data-collection practices.

’21 F-150 RaptorHere’s the ’21 Ford F-150 Raptor riding on 35-in. tires with new rims, with a first look at the optional graphics package. At the front, the package features a set of thick, black graphics in the shape of lines on the hood, accompanied by a set of thin white lines. The black graphics transition into dots as they reach the rear end of the hood. Things get a bit more interesting on the side of the box, where the thick black lines give way to a sparser pattern. The box also features the letters FP (with what appears to be a QR code tucked inside the P) for Ford Performance, as well as the U.S. flag and the number 03 to designate the third generation of the F-150 Raptor.
