Not big on the profile shot (hatch angle just doesn't seem right), but the face is sexy.

Well looks like Jin's source was right....... Good Job Jin... but otherwise

Looks great but 300hp and no AWD....

Would be great competition for the SRT though...

according to a spokesman from ford, after testing and with a proper differential they did not find a need to use an awd system, a strong lsd would allow for proper handling on a track but would cause the car to dart everywhere on regular roads, so it's seams they will be using an electronic diff, not that much unlike ones found in ferraris

Too low to be the production car.

BUSTED!!! 4 lug wheels on last photo. Other photos are not real as well.

All speculation. The engine and drive train are correct though. 19" wheels should be standard not 18".

It's nice, yes, but I've heard that for 2008+, ford has discontinued the hatch everwhere, so I don't know...
