  1. TWO hybrid powertrains for S650 Mustang!? Clues via Linkedin profile

    Are we talking about a mild hybrid or a plug-in? And, will a hybrid include AWD?
  2. S650 is out there somewhere, isn't she?

    The Mach-e dash, instrumentation, and info screen are the main distractors to an otherwise very nice looking vehicle. The Info screen especially looks too much like a Tesla. It needs to be integrated into the dash instead of looking like a tablet/laptop that was just attached. So, I hope the...
  3. What Should Come Standard Across All Mustangs Going Forward?

    Ford started to de-content 2021 Mustangs; e.g. no paddle shifters in Ecoboost base models, no engine cover, etc. Small stuff, but all the same an effort to keep cost down. Just strip out features or include as optional packages to increase bottom line. Why not just include what people want to...
  4. Report: S650 Mustang coming as 2023 Model Year. Hybrid S650 comes in 2025

    I'm guessing when they say hybrid, they mean mild hybrid, not plug in. Regardless, a Mustang Ecoboost currently has 310 hp and 350 ft lb torque. Adding a small electric motor and battery could easily push those numbers to 350 or more hp and over 400 ft lb torque. If extra weight could be...
  5. How are you passing the time given the GREAT SILENCE?

    Glad to get some new "news" about the 2023 Mustang. Since there had been no updates for awhile, I had come to the conclusion that the s650 would simply be a facelift and just be a place holder until an all BEV Mustang was ready. But, I now have some hope that there will be some real changes...
  6. Stangmode from YouTube says S550 will be last Gen ICE GT500?!!!

    I wouldn't mind if Ford kept a slightly modified s550 around longer. Update the interior, add a few more features as standard, and call it a day. Ford could sell a ton of these thru the remainder of the decade without the additional investment for a new model.
  7. Stangmode from YouTube says S550 will be last Gen ICE GT500?!!!

    I agree that a BEV true Mustang (coupe/convertible) will probably be on a separate BEV platform from the ICE Mustang. I don't anticipate seeing a BEV Mustang sports coupe until 2030 at the earliest. There's still too many hurdles that BEV vehicles in general are going to have to overcome...

  9. S650 is out there somewhere, isn't she?

    Don't think BEV Mustang coupe will be released until all of the shortcomings of BEV vehicles in general are resolved, i.e. short range, long re-charging times, and probably the biggest huddle - lack of infrastructure - not enough charging stations. The Mustang is Ford's image. They know that...
  10. S650 is out there somewhere, isn't she?

    I agree that the s650 will have a mild hybrid drivetrain to increase power (and mileage). I don't expect a full electric Mustang coupe until 2028 at the earliest. Ford knows that they can't afford to mess up the classic Mustang. It's the symbol for their brand, not the Mach-e or a Mach-s...
  11. Hmmm... so what IS the major diff between the S550 and S650?

    Definitely going electric, but the timeline is well beyond 2028, i.e. maybe another 10-20 years before BEVs are mainstream vehicles. There's just too many hurdles for BEVs; e.g., range, charging times, lack of infrastructure, battery technology, etc. We'll get over these hurdles, but it will...
  12. “Next Gen” Mustang Will be Electric (EV) Only Claims Autoline

    If you want to buy an EV car, then buy it because you like the way it performs or suits your transportation needs. Don't buy one if you think it will save the environment, because it won't. New cars may all be EV in the next 15-20 years (maybe). But It will be years and years before ICE...
  13. Rumor: S650 Mustang 4-Door Sedan Will Debut in 2022 with 3 Engine Options

    Not really interested unless it's a 2 door fastback coupe.
  14. “Next Gen” Mustang Will be Electric (EV) Only Claims Autoline

    I would buy a BEV Mustang fastback coupe if it's a better car, i.e., fast, sporty, long hood, short rear deck, etc. at a reasonable price. I would not buy one or any BEV vehicle for that matter to control global warming. I understand climate change and it's definitely happening. We are...
  15. Next Generation Mustang

    Since it's reported that the s650 Mustang will arrive in 2022 as a 2023MY, will there be a 2022MY?
  16. “Next Gen” Mustang Will be Electric (EV) Only Claims Autoline

    I'm hoping Ford can carve out a niche for an ICE Mustang Coupe beyond 2028. Even a hybrid / AWD. There would definitely be a market.
  17. “Next Gen” Mustang Will be Electric (EV) Only Claims Autoline

    Ok. The next generation Mustang will use the Explorer platform. My question is why do this. Just make a 2 door coupe based on the Mach e. I think the answer is that the next generation Mustang will not be all electric. It will continue with ICE, as well as a hybrid, AWD, and BEV models. I...
  18. “Next Gen” Mustang Will be Electric (EV) Only Claims Autoline

    I have a question. If the Mustang Mach e is based on the C2 platform, why is the next generation Mustang using components from the D3 platform? Seems like if there is going to be a BEV Mustang coupe by 2028, why not use the C2 platform and create a 2 door Mach e coupe??
