A couple of considerations:

It seems they are testing the electronics and features, so I suppose that the engine should me the most final one.
If so, the too long exhaust should be the final and the camo car has the bumper missing? Maybe the rear is not complete and for this reason the shape is not easy to understand.
...or maybe they are only extra tips to stay away from the camo (fire protection? really don't know)

I was looking for the differences between the different camo cars on these pictures and I found really few stuff.

For example is curious that they are testing different models with different trims.

Plate 016m953

The right mirror has the small convex mirror as the actual S197

Plate 016m967

It seems this one has the electronic blind spot detector
maybe it's a glare on driver's glasses but even if so, there is no convex mirror, anyway a different trim

Plate 16m872

http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7442/9...a36ff7a9_o.jpg

in case of doubt of difference between left and right, this prototype doesn't have the convex mirror on the right side, it's a different trim compared to the 953

I know that nobody cares the mirrors and we all want to see the car but it's curious to see how much far they are with the project, if they are playing with this small stuff, it means that it's pretty much done.


another consideration about the rear:

the shape of the bumper around the tail lights is really similar to the actual one. Maybe they are using a mule for the rear?

Don't think that's a electronic blind spot detector. It would only be lit up if there were a car next to it, but there isn't.

not next to it but a half car behind, on the side.

If the picture has been taken from a car, it could be that one.

Yea maybe but it looks like the pic was taken with a long telephoto lens.

If you look closely you can tell those crafty guys at Ford added fake panels to the front to conceal the true shape... so it's bulked up and looks epecially long.
