Could someone photosop the part of the Darhorse underneath the headlight (the infamous plastic piece) and adjust it to the gloss black like the radiator? Would be interesting how it looks like from distance. I am not that skilled :(
Dude, are you seriously showing me a video of a super tuned Golf? hahaha
Take the GT 500 then and stune it like crazy as well and see what happens.
We are talking about stock cars. And I have shown you the price for a normal Golf R which is over 70K€ with all options, for a stupid 2L 4...
Does someone have a picture of the S650 DH next to the S550 GT350 (15-17) or photoshop it? I think maybe the comparison would be more spot on. The S550 Mach 1 needs to be then compared to a FL DH or whatever special edition we will get in the course of the next years to make the comparison fair.
I don't know whether I was supposed to post it in the vapor blue thread, but here are 2 new images (sorry if that has been posted already) of the Dark Horse in Vapor Blue.
Interestingly this DH has the Mach 1 handling package wheels if I can recall correctly.
Somehow these 2 pictures look...
I think you are the only one who smoked something here dude. 500BHP for a 2015 GOLF R? Bro you must be in lala land for sure. And yes, the Golf R is at 60K or more in Europe. See below ( and I didn't put all extras in) + who cares about 2015? I am comparing the S650 with the latest Golf R prices...
Hmmm not a fan of those stripes either. At least I don't like them on the yellow. My Mustang 55 years edition has stripes, but they are neatly located behind the hood vents up to the windshield. The example below is white, but my Kona Blue has them in black, which goes well with the darkish blue...
Golf R and 240i xdrive or whatever that is. Gosh fruitcakes and cars that want to be something, but aren't anything spectacular at the end.
Again nobody cares about 0-60. The real deal starts with 100-200km/h and so forth and a 2l engine with 4 cylinders like the Golf R have no chance...
Ah okay got that now. Yes that speed limiter is known already in other cars and thankfully it can be deactivated. It is a nice to have though.
I don't think a HUD is necessary with 2 big ass screens in front of you. Otherwise it would be too much information to focus at. In the current S550...
Isn't that also already equipped with thr S550? By speed sign recognition they mean that the speed for a specific part of the road will be shown on the screen and on your sat nav. At least in Europe we have that already. It is more like an alert/aid rather than controlling your speed.
Let us not forget that we will also see a facelift model in probably 3-4 years, which will have more room for more BHP. It was the same for the S550. They went up from 420 to 450 and had that quad tips with the amazing sound.
I wouldn't be surprised if we came to the end of the S650 and see...
Why do they mention that seat belts are in black? They are black anway.....
Why wasn't the blind spot detection system mentioned as part of technical assistant including the cross traffic alert and pedestrian detection?
WASN'T ONLINE FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS AND THE THREAD DIDN'T DISAPPOINT ME AT ALL!!!
So first and foremost we can all be grateful to still be having a natural aspirated V8. With all the fuss in this thread we forget about the basics and take everything for granted.
Secondly. Yes, maybe the DH...
Okay it seems the heat is on with this topic and rightfully so. I am just going to make my predictions and you can write yours.
S550 GT US: 460 BHP /// S650 GT US: 490 BHP /// S650 DH US: 515 BHP
S550 GT EU: 450 BHP /// S650 GT EU: 465 BHP /// S650 DH EU: 485 BHP
Trunk area can remain in the body color. I am fine with that. But boy oh boy that diffusor in plastic grey looks afwul (as always lol): So that deffo needs a glossy black paint after market.
It is funny to know that Ford mentions the Ecoboost as the most powerful (probably around 320bhp) whereas the very first one had similar bhp. So it is more like marketing bla bla.
100K more? Thats like 10K€. That is indeed a lot. I think the most expensive Mustangs were sold in Netherlands. I think they paid pathetic amount of money, starting from 90K € plus tax.
