    The Ford Motor Company [NYSE:F] GT and Mustang are impressive cars in their own right, but one tuner has decided to join elements from each to create a mashup that we’re sure will leave opinions divided. The tuner is Corona, California-based Zero to 60 Designs, and at the upcoming 2016 SEMA show it will present the Ford Mustang GTT. That extra “T” signifies that this is a tribute car, in this case a tribute to the new GT. Elements designed to mimic the Ford supercar include the bumpers, hood vents, side sills, taillights and rear diffuser. Sadly, it doesn’t have the...

The latest build to receive the render work is a joint effort between the automaker and ARK Performance. Using the Elantra as a starting point, the pair have created a vehicle called...
