It does feel like that area between the wheel well and the front door is longer on the GT3/GTD.I'm still under media embargo until the official reveal tonight (8/17), but it's funny to read to speculation and the comments.
FYI : GT3 is considered front-mid engined because the engine sits fully behind the front axle, which was made possible thanks to the rules allowing us to extend the wheelbase by 60mm. Something we obviously can't really do on a production vehicle due to manufacturing costs and having to re-crashtest the platform.
And yes, GT3 is S650 based as it was legally homologated with the FIA from the S650 Mustang DarkHorse (all this info is in the press release, but people don't read, they speculate and share opinions...)
I'll come back tonight to discuss
I still think this is just a Ford/Multimatic S650 Dark Horse GT3 track day variant the way the 599 FXX was for Ferrari. Not road legal (especially as the extended wheel base would potential require re-crash testing it, and with the Dark Horse GT3 engine running without the FIA required restrictors
