Basically the revived Toyota FJ didn't they unveil it similar?So you're saying there's a chance?
I thought it was odd that the press release specifically referred to the 5 link rear suspension being production configuration but not the front. That IFS (specifically the cradle and lower arm pivot spacing) definitely looks like a production piece though…
If the IFS is indicative of what we will be getting from the actual production vehicle, the Bronco is just another "also ran" Jeep competitor in my book.
Except for that it's not. Unlike Nascar, this is production based. From the actual press release:nothing of what you are seeing will even remotely make it on the new Bronco you all know that right? It is like the Nascar body kits that they use on racing type chassis.

As a test, the Bronco R will head back to the Baja Peninsula later this month to take on the near 1,000-mile grueling off-road course and challenge the production Bronco’s powertrain and architecture.
And as a tease, the Bronco R – developed by Ford Performance in collaboration with builder Geiser Bros Design and Development and Baja 1000 Trophy Truck champion Cameron Steele – drops heritage-inspired design and proportion hints of what enthusiasts can expect to see when the future Bronco makes its world premiere next spring.

The team worked in secret to create a one-off build that hints at the all-new Bronco to come, while paying homage to the first-generation Bronco’s styling and proportions that made the nameplate an instant off-road icon a half-century ago.
