Real, they cut off all the metal, bonded the CF on. Just a skin on the door, too much effort to figure out the hinge, striker, and window regulators. They have a bonded seam from the steel to the CF somehow in the door jam area as the rear quarter is one piece from the roof, down. They didnt offer to open the door to show me. They also added structural strips in the c pillar to bond to. Car looked fantastic. I have no comment or opinion on NVH or durability over the long haul. I might be suspect.

What was the story on the Raptor that looks like it has a widebody Baja kit? Looks to be in Fords booth.

They are taking it off road racing. It sounds like a Ford backed privateer team The head of the race team was introduced Tuesday morning..

Thanks! Too bad there is not a street version, would look like a monster on the road.

The Tan colored truck below appears to be a new SuperDuty type Raptor to me.

The CF bodied Mustang appears to have a unique body line profile, not GT350 or base GT.

Who did that car? Ford?

No was not Ford, nearly any of the cars in the Ford booth are factory ford products, they are invited to show.

Speedkore Performance Group scroll down to "American super car meets American muscle"

Not seeing the unique profile you're talking about. It's all carbon (is it real carbon, or wrapped/dipped?), but the bodylines of the car itself are just as Ford built it.

Yeah, in those pictures I don't see any difference at all. In the first picture it looked like a flatter hood and longer nose.
