Automakers regularly test a variety of vehicles on
the open road. Sometimes its easy to tell what they're working on – at other
times, less so. These latest spy shots, snapped by eagle-eyed reader Brett
Borgard, show a motorcade of Ford Mustangs testing in the high altitudes of
Colorado. The manufacturer plates tell us who's running them.
There's three of them to be seen, all ostensibly of
the newly updated 2018 model (judging primarily from their auxiliary front LED
lighting strips): one in white, one all murdered out in black, and another in a
dark shade of burgundy that looks like Ford's Royal Crimson option.
While the burgundy and black examples give us little
to go on – especially viewed from the front – the white Mustang GT is seen
sporting a pair of extended exhaust tips protruding out from under the bumper,
and labels reading “Caution: Fuel Drain.”
The trio could be testing for emissions or trying
out some new equipment. Only a few engineers and product planners in Dearborn
likely know for sure. But you can bet they've got some new versions of the pony
car in the works.
