They didn't on my car. Sensitivity around the straight ahead is increased but overall effort to turn once off straight ahead is heavier than my S550

Agree. My S650 is slightly heavier in all modes than the S550 was. Not a huge amount in it though.

The steering modes are Normal, Sport and Comfort. There are up to 4 icons at the bottom of the driver display (4 with Magneride and 3 without) that tell you what settings are in use. The image below shows the steering in sport with the S against the steering icon. It will show a 'feather' when...

There is no going back already. Yes some are now transitioning slower and more PHEV's are popping up than originally expected but all of the R&D money and environmental pressure is only going one way. There isn't a 180 going on just a slightly slower transition with extended lifetime ICE cars...

The biggest difference is weight which means you can either fit a larger battery for more range or have the same capacity and less weight for greater efficiency. Quite a few cars up around 400 miles plus now, but efficiency is where the real gains are coming from at the moment.

Only if you have that option - memory seats etc

I suspect the S650 will limp on and overlap with an S750 which will be an electrified alternative on a completely new platform. I can't see there being a bespoke platform for such small volumes.

Odd as it is available in the UK on convertibles and we have very similar option lists. Here is an example Product Details

I can't see how a 4 door Mustang V8 can be any worse than the Mach E for the brand.

It looks a million miles away from olive (Shelter) green from what I have seen. More like a green pearlescent fleck on a yellow paint?

Would a 4 door even use the D2C platform? I doubt it as there would be very little room in the back within the constraints of D2C. More likely it would use another platform so maybe not even produced in Flat Rock if it were to ever exist.

That is correct. It is in the user manual that certain base modes restrict the options for other settings

They are for increased downforce at high speed. So primarily for track use. They divert the underfloor airflow. I have left mine off

Mine does - as in the icons reflect the custom mode settings

In your opinion, so not sure why that means somebody else shouldn't use the term :wink: Entirely up to them, free country and all that! Others disagree with you... Dodge Charger Daytona: The World’s First Electric Muscle Car Is as Powerful as It Is Stunning | Architectural Digest

No, just the one battery (and most European S/S systems just have one higher spec battery), so no need to be annoyed about something that doesn't exist :thumbsup: . The more modern systems use an integrated starter generator (ISG) which actually simplifies things more than having an alternator...

I think it is both actually, but clearly different countries have different regulatory structures. Certainly NOx is an issue in cities in the UK and the introduction of S/S and other hybrid technologies as well as low emissions regulations have had a significant impact on this here to residents...

Name calling! I think you will find you were the first to sling an insult suggesting that I should go on a Prius forum. I don't have a Prius I have a nice V8 thank you, hence why your comment was stupid! Annoying to you, but not me. What happened to freedom of choice, I thought you were...

Stupid comment! Porsche 911 has stop start and that isn't a Prius either! Ironically the Prius does NOT have stop start as it is a hybrid :giggle: I am glad my Mustang has stop start and that I am not burning money when not moving.
