Top video, they should have put the red highlights on the side and stopped. Its like someone got carried away with the paint bucket on ms paint. Then it'd look mint with black rims.

^^ What he said. The R-spec would look sick with normal rims! Even with black highlights instead of red.

Its funny to read some of the comments in Facebook. I think some seriously thought the hardtop was coming back

I laughed when people thought there was a new model. As if we were doing any new tooling in this climate....

I just had to keep my mouth shut and let the people speculate.

Ford these days are alot about stickers. :cry: Take a look at the earlier F6 R-spec, I think all they got is a badge and the suspension upgrade. No poxy stickers and yet I stare everytime I see one because they're a unreal looking car that has something different where it matters. The GT R-spec stands out for all the wrong reasons.

Agreed, the red and black work well together, just overdone.

wheels and rear diffuser << this
