They need to build that Red Job !!! Wow !! Jamal are you listening !!! :biggrin
I can assure there is a shitstorm over these sketches being on Jalopnik. Too late to take them down now, but those were definitely not supposed to be out for public consumption :lol Design does stuff years in advance, so there's a possibility some of this shows up at the next all-new Mustang. I have pictures of the GT being clayed in 2002, and you could see a reasonable facsimile of the 2007 GT500 on the wall, including the name "GT500".
There was a big hoopla over the C6Z06 when it came out too. I vaguely remember GM paying a personal visit to a guy in Texas at his home that leaked information in a similar manner...

They always show radical concept cars at the car shows and radical sketches and then when and if they ever make it to production you usually get a watered down version..
That's always been the problem with the car companies. They always show radical concept cars at the car shows and radical sketches and then when and if they ever make it to production you usually get a watered down version..

Blame the governments of the world. 99% of concept cars are 100% production non-feasible just because you end up having to build the car around 8 million safety requirements. Cars all look the same now because of things like pedestrian bumper requirements, headlamp requirements, greenhouse requirements. If all that stuff didn't exist, designers would go nuts and cars would hit the road as shown.
I wouldn't call them watered down, I'd call them screwed by regulations. All designers hate it, but it's the reality they live with.
