No where could I find a mention of ground clearance. It’s a good thing it has a winch and a GMRS radio. Makes you wonder about battery skid plates and such too. Just because you can doesn’t mean you should. Seems more show than go.

Oh man. You can't see well over the hood as it is, let alone add these 4 more lights.
The blue/tan is kinda tacky. for the price they coulda rattle can ceracoat'd it FDE or driven around AZ for 20 min.

Looks like a modded Rally ed.

A custom RPG Offroad suspension with Eibach springs and Fox rear shocks
In other news the aftermarket finally solved the under dampening. lol Awesome

It definitely looks like it rides higher than the Rally. Probably both from the really aggressive tires plus the shocks.

Because they didn't have a Rally to start from, this is built on an existing GT. That means they would have to do their own skid plates rather than using the stock armor on the bottom of the Rally.

I'm not a fan of those massive lights on the hood but I would love to see Ford spec that winch option for the Rally! Unfortunately, that winch may be for show. It would take some serious welding to provide adequate supports to mount a useable winch in the frunk.

Yeah the winch mounted to a plastic frunk liner, or the aluminum sub frame of the motor.

Lol, that winch is hilarious, a bunch of stuff would probably break if it was ever used with a good pull. Geometry isn't straight, questionable anchorage. So did they drill a hole right through the radiator? Front fairlead mounted to plastic? That will rip off the whole bumper with any side pull.

It's all for show folks...

Including the Fox shocks, wonder if it's actually a GTPE can't see the seats.

It would be pretty funny though when the entire winch breaks free and pulls through the radiator and out the grill.

Kindof a waste of a Grabber Blue GT if you ask me.

It SEMA so likely mounted to plastic with zip ties lol.

Well, at least it has a tow hook. ??

I don’t think that a winch is all that far-fetched. It’s just impractical. In order to make it work right I’d say the added structure would need to weigh in excess of 120 pounds (plus the weight of the winch and batteries/electricals). Ford could pull this off with less weight by making parts of the car stronger, but to tie in enough mounting points for an existing car it would take a lot of steel??

…….or are you just pleased to see me?

Not the best chat-up line I ever heard!

 

[BalsaDust]

Looks like Kyle Connor has a pic on twitface of the winch from above, no zip ties, possibly velcro? and the exit from the frunk doesnt line up with the exit on the grill

 

[Dude]

I was hoping the "off road" mania would not touch the Mach e. Guess not.....oh well. Good luck with that.
