YouTuber “Dr. Scandalous” caught a pretty amazing sight during what would otherwise have been a regular Detroit commute: A gnarly looking Ford GT test mule cruising among regular traffic. This is something you don’t see every day—and something that pretty much nobody outside of Ford’s skunkworks has seen before.
As first reported by Patrick George at Jalopnik, the lucky YouTuber seems to have been in the perfect spot to catch Ford’s future hypercar cruising the streets in two videos embedded below. The test car looks rough—check out those taillights, which look to be universal trailer lights found at any hardware store, not the intercooler-venting halo lights of the show car—but curiously the unfinished bodywork doesn’t seem to be wearing any camouflage at all.
Can you imagine seeing this in your mirror on your boring drive?
Our Detroit-based colleagues have tentatively identified this stretch of road as the M39 Southfield Freeway, which runs just past Ford’s test track in Dearborn, Michigan. With the production vehicle slated to arrive in late 2016 as a 2017 model, we figure you’ll be seeing a lot more of them on this patch of road—and at racetracks worldwide.
