We have members with cars currently getting built. These pics didn’t come with an explanation. I assume it is a pre-production 2021.

Like it, but I’d add black OTT stripes & side stripes to tone it down just a bit.

Those are brightly painted (red and green centers) base wheels that go on the CFTP cars while the car is working its way down the production line (so the expensive wheels don’t get damaged). The CF wheels get added later, with the wing and then the car goes to Penske for painted stripes (if optioned). I’m sure the CF handling package cars (2021 option) will get the same treatment.

You see them at 13:06 here:

An eye popping color for sure. Saw my first 2020 GT500KR in person last week going the opposite way in town. Saw it coming and am so used to seeing GT350’s that I was just glancing until I saw the cobra in the center of the grill and then the hood. It was lime green (whatever that is called), and that’s a real eye popper too.

Yellow as well as green are both eye popping colors! There is no “KR” for the 2020+... at least not yet... who knows what Ford will do in the next couple years.

If my post mislead you, sorry. I figured out today while drafting another post that my phone remembered some posts I made about KR models, and it was auto-correcting my GT500 into a GT500KR, which it did again during this post.

Hmmm, I tend to like yellow cars but that yellow isn't doing it for me. Too light or something.

The yellow is too pale for my tastes. I agree on combining a black roof with white stripes... a black roof flows much better with black stripes.

From FB... the guy saw this manufacturer out in the wild:

It comes down to if you like the styling lines on the front or not. I dig them and black conceals all the contrasting lines. I do admit that an all black 2020 looks sinister... there was an all black CFTP posted here recently, but the front fascia lines are lost on black cars.

I also agree this yellow is too pale. White stripes don’t help.
