Yahoo Autos Mystery Ford Mustang mule caught in fresh spy photos
A mysterious Ford Mustang GT mule has been spotted near the company's Dearborn development facilities, sparking a fresh round of speculation as to what the Blue Oval has in store for its pony car. If you thought we'd get out of 2020 without yet another automotive mystery, well, guess again.
If the first thing that springs to mind from viewing these shots is "Mach 1, part deux," you're not alone. When we first saw that variant on the street a year ago, it looked a lot like the prototype in these photos. Upon closer inspection, however, we can see that there are some key differences that deepen the mystery surrounding this mule.
For starters, the Mach 1 was clearly based on a performance-spec Mustang GT. While this prototype is at least based on a V8 model, the square wheel and tire setup along with all-season tires point to a fairly basic spec. The lug-mounted sensors visible in some of the photos suggest that Ford is testing either powertrain or brake tweaks.
