They could have saved a lot of effort by starting with a Falcon GT!

Whatever size it is, that is a fantastic effort.

I love the Shelby GT inspired driving lights in the middle of the lower intake, you could almost see that thing competing in some kind of european modified class.

As for the flared quarters, F-Series ha, hmmmmm

No it's a bit bigger than that as it's based off the Volvo S80 platform. It's probably close to the size of the Falcon.

Since when was it S80 based? That's news. It was/is supposed to be based on the Mazda 6.

That is correct, The Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan and Lincoln Zephyr are all based off the Mazda6 platform. The Ford 500 (the car in question) and Ford Freestyle are both based off the Volvo S80 platform.

Wonder if they got the drivetrain from that guy who drove his GT into a pole and only damaged the front of the car (extensively though...)
