That doesn’t make much sense to me. Test vehicles and mules barely need any semiconductors. They’re one-offs, no mass products. I’m sure Ford can spare a few parts for future cash cows and poster cars ;) Besides, the chip shortage is partially based on the fact that even modern cars use the...

He also said that the transmissions would carry over and that a hybrid won’t be available from the get go but rather be introduced with the refresh in ~2025. That in in line with Ford Europe saying that they will only sell hybrids and full EVs from 2026 onwards. What a coincidence… Regarding...

That article is nicely written. However, it doesn’t contain any real news regarding S650 and reads itself more like a summary or clickbait. To me it feels like someone was closely monitoring this forum ;)

Don't get me wrong. I'm a hundred percent sure that a pure V8 S650 would sell like ice cream on a hot summer day but I doubt Ford is willing to pay the price. They would have to implement an OPF (eradicating the sound/soul of the car) and still pay the high CO² emissions. They never sold the...

I don't know how reliable FOX "News" is in that regard but 2025 seems very late... It would however, be in line with the FORD Europe plan to replace every car sold with a full EV OR hybrid by 2026. Then again it would mean that we (here in Europe) either don’t get the S650 until 2025 or that...

I don’t see Ford selling „a ton of these thru the remainder of the decade without the additional investment for a new model”… The current version is already pretty dated. Don’t get me wrong, I like the car but it’s getting old. Maybe it’s just me but I definitely want a NEW Mustang. The...

I doubt that the source has reliable information regarding a S650 GT500. Main reason is a potential release date of such a car. The GT500 was introduced after the S550 refresh as a “the best we can do” for that generation. A S650 GT500 would therefore be released in 2027 or so?! (S650...

I made the bold prediction of an EV Mustang comming around 24/25... Well turns out I completely missed an exklusive 'REUTERS' story dating back to my birthday... May 25th :D Anyhow, apparently Ford will develop two dedicated EV platforms until 2025, one for trucks (TE1) and another one for...

It looks like one of these cheap aftermarket display that imitate Tesla... Isn’t it mostly controlled by touch? If it’s optional it’s fine. Otherwise plz give me physical buttons to push! I absolutely dislike the vertical alignment of the screen. It should be horizontal and placed in the...

If I had to make that decision it would be fairly easy: Start the S650 program ASAP and be the first with a hybrid muscle car. Knowing that the platform isn't meant for full electrification start expanding on the Mustang JET... Get the fan base excited for an EV Mustang. Furthermore, while...

That does sound quite concerning… In addition, I thinks it’s almost granted that S650 will be pushed back… Ford has problems building the F150 and I doubt they have any semiconductors to spare for anything other than the cash cow itself. Besides, wouldn’t a new car with modern tech require many...

The best we can do. At least it could mean that a hybrid Coyote will be paid by Nascar/Supercars and so on and that we might get a hybrid V8 ;)

I know nothing about Nascar except that “Vagisil” will make a formidable driver :D Jokes aside, I thought they had presented their next gen Nascar already?! Besides, Mark Rushbrook said that “ our world is changing with hybrid powertrains, full-electric powertrains, if we were going to do this...

NEVER ask that question when a forced idiology is coming along ;) Things might have to change but it's not an open minded discussion about how to find the best solution but rather a toxic and biased sh!t-show. I think that the S650 will be an upgraded S550 with hybrid options. However, I doubt...

That doesn't look like a Mustang at all - more like an exotic... I would buy it though :D Anyhow, I think we should watch the 8th of July where the future of dodge will be 'revealed'. I think that Dodge and Mustang have a lot in common but that the Dodge fanboys are a little bit more open to...

They could but why invest in a smaller V8 if you already have a 3.5/3.6L engine?! The M177 engine (4.0L AMG engine) is pretty neat but if the F150 doesn't get it the Mustang doesn't get it either... They might discontinue the coyote and replace it with a 4.0 turbo engine in the future but we...

Interesting questions and the most compelling answer to most of them is simply CD6. However, you told us that S650 will be built on the old platform with major improvements (I hope that doesn’t sound judgmental, it’s not meant that way). Let’s try a shot into the dark: Derivatives could...

I respect your opinion but if I wanted a 6 cylinder turbo car I would by a M3/4. What’s the point of another 6 cylinder turbo car if one could have a NA V8 instead? Besides, your mentioned trim levels are way over the top. I prefer the Mustang as a recognizable car. If I see a Mustang I expect...

First off, it wasn’t or isn’t my purpose to offend anybody in this forum. English isn’t my native language. Besides, I can't do multiquote or whatever you did in order to refer to statements. It helps readability a lot but the only way I know off is to type in [Q UO TE] and stuff by hard...

I bet that the S650 will have manual options. TheS650 isn't an all new Mustang "just" an evolution of the current gen. Why not keeping the manual if it sells well and has a market? S750 will be a different talk but that's roughly 8 years from now... Ford doesn't have such a car. They have a...
