They do look like smaller 6-pots I agree. The rears appear unchanged to me, but it's rolling '12 rubber/rims. I think that Ford is doing some things though, and that this car is not "a package". Maybe they are just testing the brakes this day. Who knows?

I'm going to remain hopeful that 6-pots up front mean better things all around and they are just systematically testing it.

Ford has a real winner if they can tweak the bean counters arm juuuuust a touch!

My guess is it is going to end up on the car. Ford typically hasn't tested any of their cars on the Nurburgring before, so the fact that they have two out there running gobs of laps probably means that they are just making sure the new stuff works.
