In our spy shots reports, we state that the next 911 will be wider at the rear, and have more flexibility for the placement of the engine and suspension hardware.

  • Ford Mustang sedan based on Falcon

    The Ford Mustang never spawned a four-door model, although it's about to influence a future performance SUV with an electric powertrain. However, one individual has taken it upon his or herself to build what we see here.

We're likely looking at a sixth-generation Falcon sedan as the basis of this creation, judging by its rear end and greenhouse, which was built during the 2000s. On one hand, this build is mighty impressive. The Mustang's front...
