The story revolving around how this heavily-modified 458 crashed isn’t known..........
Well, the video in the first link far above shows him doing donuts, that might be a clue.

Love the crazy graphics, I assure you all that I don't drive my pick-up truck like that just because of the similar paint job.

Codename: GN34
Status: Production Cancelled

DrivingEnthusiast: GN34

The black car is what we believe we saw in Dearborn on a business trip at the time. These two prototypes are housed in the private museum of Jack Roush at the present time. The SHO engines have been removed, and replaced by simple 351W engines.

Cobra 230 M.E. Concept
Debut: Chicago Auto Show, 19876

DrivingEnthusiast: Cobra 230 M.E. Concept



Quote:
The purpose of the Cobra 230 M.E. concept was to explorer a styling theme for the upcoming mid-engine sportscar code-named GN34. It may or may not have represented the final styling of the GN34, which wasn't scheduled to go into production until at least 1989 anyway. But it does show Ford's thinking.

It was configured as a trans-continental freeway cruiser,...............

The entire design was based on '92 Taurus SHO mechanicals, with its own steel tube spaceframe chassis.

Like the M1 Mclaren, the driver sat in the center, so that it could be driven anywhere in the world without modification and the rear seat could accommodate 1 or 2 passengers.

Jeremy Clarkson Admits Top Gear's Reliant Robin Rollovers Were Completely Rigged
https://www.roadandtrack.com/car-culture/entertainment/news/a27897/jeremy-clarkson-admits-reliant-robin-rollovers-were-totally-rigged/

"A normal Reliant Robin will not roll unless a drunken rugby team is on hand. Or it's windy. But in a headlong drive to amuse and entertain, I'd asked the backroom boys to play around with the differential so that the poor little thing rolled over every time I turned the steering wheel," he wrote.

Looks like an Abarth style air intake on the rear grille.

Growing up the Vette was my dream car (along with the Camaro&Mustang) and hoped they would make it a mid engine to compete with the European sports cars.

Now I'm a little bit disappointed... looks like any of a dozen other mid engine sports cars.

At least the Italians still build a front engine sports car...
