Ford to reveal all-new road-going race car on January 15... GT500 successor?!

[MaddNomad]

I wish. I don't know if it was here or on Ford Authority, but someone was saying that we wouldn't see anything about it until around 2027-2028 (if it doesn't get canned again before it even comes out).

Still a cool name for a AWD system. But with all the changes going on with Ford who knows what’s going on.

Mustang Dark Horse Boss: What Engine Will Power The Upcoming Pony?

I read the article when it came out but I don't think it contains many valuable information...
I doubt that we'll see the 5.4L from the GT3 car unless Ford plans to use it instead of the Predator engine in the F150 and the Mustang. 5.4L is the maximum displacement for a basic Coyote engine block. They use it for endurance racing and that is generally a good stress test but for a road legal car they might just want to play it safe and limit it to 5.2L as they did with the GTD, GT500 and the F150…
Besides, Ford either fixed the Voodoo engine problems (and according to 2020 GT350 owners they have) or they use the 5.2L with a cross-plane crankshaft instead of the flat-plane crank like they do in the Predator just without the blower…

I’m hopeful the price on whatever new models are revealed is attainable for people. Because I’m pretty confident the models will be cool

 

[Q6543]

I’d expect a reveal but pricing not until summer/fall, they’re gonna be 2027s I’d assume

Statistically speaking there's at least one person in here who's seen what's next already...

Good source, going to be redesigned super aero Probe/Original Mustang Concept, four wheel drive, mid engine 390hp eco boost.
Called the Mustang Mach 44. Weight, less than 2800lbs with a DCT 8 speed.

I really like the ducktail lip. The s650 rear end already has vibes from the '67 with the angles in concaved decklid, but this spoiler really drives that home even more with how it echos the rear end of the '67 spoiler.

It looks identical to the ducktail that Shelby America offers though, so part of me wonders if this is a Shelby prototype and not something coming directly from Ford.
