I knew it... the low lifeās from "Autoblog" stole your pics and just cut them so the "Mustang7G" isn't visible any more. Besides, they added their own watermark... Won't post the link to generate more "clicks" for them but "BYRON HURD" is the name of the "author"... Maybe someone with twitter...
I do get where @Jem got the "underwhelming" first impression fromš¬
We finally got some actual s650 pics but there are already a few concerning aspects...
Headlights look outdated, overall front looks "just" ok and the non-existance of the quad exhaust is a no go. Unless it is the Ecoboost...
I totally agree. The only new information were the MT82 will bereplaced by the TREMEC and the interior render that might be somewhat close to the final product. Unlike the Ford Evos large curved screen this interior would be a clear evolution rather than a revolution.
Anyhow, I liked most of...
No offense but I honestly donāt understand what you are saying. I literally donāt understand it.
As a customer who is not known to MYās I would prefer some reliability in numbers (MY20 build in 2020 not somewhere between June 2019 and maybe March 2021). Besides, I would bet that 99% of the...
The front end is fugly and the lights will most likely not look like that as that design was inspired by a 2007 design so itās very much outdated ;)
Apart from that (take away the entire front) it is pretty good looking as it looks almost exactly like the current S550. The overall aesthetics...
As mentioned earlier before I think a ~2 month retooling phase seems like the most likely solution, especially if they build the hybrid from the get got. I doubt that they could āretoolā FlatRock within two weeks and restructure the plant so that hybrid cars can be produced en masse.
Besides...
I think itās actually smart to release a MY in that same year ;) Never liked the early dates⦠FIFA22 is out since September 2021... I never played FIFA but itās the same with carsā¦
Back to the topic:
If itās true that theyāll start selling the S650 in March then I doubt that they are going to...
I thought that it's almost confirmed that there won't be another Voodoo Gt350.Too many problems with the engine...
I'll bet my a$$ that there will be another high performance Mustang but I'm not sure if they would call it a Shelby. If they have a regular Coyote GT they might want to electrify...
No offense Jem, but I take your comment with a grain of salt ;) You are a new member and Iām happy that joined the forum. However, I still ask myself how it is possible that a new member has seen the new S650 when nobody else has? Iām not saying you havenāt but anyone couldāve guessed thatā¦...
I doubt that they are frequently using S550 to test S650 features. Most tests can be simulated by a computer but real world test driving is something different. They might test an AWD setup in an S550 to get some numbers and such but from what weāve heard the S650 will be built on a heavily...
This article might have some interesting information in-between the lines:
https://racer.com/2021/11/10/mustang-and-corvette-gt3-pony-car-wars-coming-in-2024/
Mark Rushbrook from Ford Performance is quoted: "... we want to race Mustangs around the world, since itās now a global sports car. Not...
I'ld bet my ass on it that the Mondeo will look like this:
https://imgr1.auto-motor-und-sport.de/Ford-Evos-bigMobileWide2x-fccab64a-1786366.jpg
There is almost no reason to belive it would look much different. Besides, I think it looks good and modern. Fitting for a sedan like Mondeo.
On the...
If you are referring to the Mondeo/Fusion replacement that was posted by Ericc B on Friday then donāt worry. Itāll have 3-4 cylinder at best, paired with some sort of electrification, which is maybe optional.
Maybe there will be performance versions but these would most likely be called ST or RS...
At least these lights look better in real life. The camo pictures from a week or two ago gave me a horrible impression... and maybe it's not a breaking but rather a daily driving light and since it's a prototype they disabled the tri-bars?š¬ Very unlikely because it's most likely an automatic but...
They called him "eagled-eyed member"
I think it's time for a new nickname @amk91 :D
I'm glad they referred to this forum. Many would've just quoted LinkedIn and would've called it their source...
It does make sense and maybe there won't be another non hybrid l4. I'm looking forward to the v8 hybrid.
I still can't believe that we have to wait until 2025 for the hybrid though... Maybe as a MY25 in 2024? But then it would need a refresh a year after... or they sell the hybrid in a "Shelby"...
I think you nailed the front. Still not sure about your proportions - or overall appearance. For some reasons I still think it's odd although it checks a lot of boxes ;)
boy... that looks ugly a.f....
Like a cheap Audi A6 version... to me it doesn't carry any resemblance with the Mustang rear lights...
Anyhow, it's the Fusion/Mondeo and it will have at least slightly different rear lights than the S650. There's still hope ;)
Thatās not how I read the articleā¦
It was an interesting article indeed but it focusses more on future improvements rather than on the ongoing chip shortage. Carmakers always struggle to implement new stuff. It took like what ā 100 years ā before the first redesign of the dashboard occurred? I...
