Snotty response totally unjustified. I do know that a temporary speed limit is there for a reason and if it is ignored it is not the fault of the road repairer - not sure why that has caused you so much angst. Take a chill pill before you respond next time.

Well, don't blame the road repair company then.

The 10R80 MHT is fairly central in the car so additional weight here would have little effect on the balance and the HV battery could be used to make the balance better than currently. It isn't going to add 300+lb to the total and certainly not all at the front.

The S650 is not a simple ICE car. The systems are pretty similar across all Ford cars. Hyper expensive battery replacements are just scare stories, the reality is the EV battery lasts as long as the car. Replacing a blown Coyote is not cheap. Luckily you can buy a sophisticated modern car and...

The Mustang is far from top of the class when it comes to NVH so taking it out would be very unlikely.

Some of the body already is aluminium. It is a steel platform so other than doors there is not much else they can do.

It isn't really the power it is the torque of the electric motor from zero that counts. The system from Schaeffler is 47bhp but will have a lot more torque than that, an ideal combination with a normally aspirated engine. As I said above, Ford already have this system so it will surely be the...

A FHEV would add around 100kg as per my post above - mainly the small battery and the electric motor added to the 10R80. Ford have all of this already so I would be amazed if this isn't what they are running. Of course this could be added to both the V8 and Ecoboost as they share the current...

Platform doesn't support AWD

What was the 2024 car new? I doubt it was the same as the 2025 car so the depreciation is not $22k However buying and then selling a new car after 12 months is never a clever thing to do. Keep them both 5 years and the maths will be far closer. Also in some cases new cars (not the Mustang at...

Are there not temporary speed limits in place - there are in the UK

A hybrid turbo NOT a hybrid car. The answer and evidence is clear and obvious and I have presented it to you with links to back it up. It is pointless arguing about it or reinventing a definition just for yourself. I will not discuss any further as you are just trolling now.

Correct. An e-turbo can be added to a hybrid, but an e-turbo itself is NOT a hybrid. The title of the article you posted makes that very clear. Try for yourself...... Google: is an e-turbo a hybrid Answer: An e-turbo is not a type of hybrid vehicle, but rather a component that enhances...

How could anybody not be excited about this? Having driven hybrids including performance cars it is a compelling solution going forward. Freedom of choice is what it is called.

Or even better don't own the car but still go on the forum and bash them!

Which is something completely different! An e-turbo as used for example by AMG doesn't in itself create a hybrid propulsion system for the car. It just improves turbo response. By definition a hybrid uses two or more distinct types of power such as ICE and electric to power the vehicle. In the...

For a FHEV you only need space for a 1.5kWh battery or similar which many car makers including Ford fit under the passenger seat of the car so that isn't an issue. You then just need to add an electric motor to the 10R80 which already exists. Similar to how ZF hybridise their gearbox...

You clearly still don't understand what a hybrid is!

Your time scales are a little out :crackup:

Battery saver mode does none of those things on my car. Everything stays as normal. It isn't disconnecting the battery it is just turning off all non essential items. The alarm is still active etc.
