Ford is trying to achieve this 3/4 look while finally delivering on the original Kemal design that everyone loved about the sketches. I think the best plan has been pretty clear and the S650 evolution of the S550 probably had a lot to do with their competitors decision to drop the axe. Just as...

The GTE is probably an electric concept on a 107 inch wheelbase. This study was conducted in 2018-‘19 as far as I know but I expect Kemal’s original vision will continue to be realized. The Mach-E came soon after. I know that Ford intends on pushing some of the Mustang models into “Sports Car”...

…nearly identical greenhouses but due to a slightly flatter rear overhang and a slightly extended front fascia, it will appear as if the cockpit moved back. I believe this is the most likely direction and I really like it.

This is where the Mustang is heading although, this particular CAD example may represent a slightly shorter wheelbase, say around 105 inches. The “Mule” that we have been “spying” is simply an S550 with inserts under the camouflage and has absolutely NOTHING to do with exterior design. Anything...

…the edginess may be somewhat correct but that’s where the similarities probably end. Maybe some “New Edge” design cues from the fenders back with a more ‘68-‘69 inspired front fascia. I have a feeling people will move to say “it’s an Aston Martin” like they use to say “it’s a Fusion” back in...

The S650 was always the plan since 2015. Whoever came up with the CD6 idea is long gone, specifically for dumb ideas like the one he had. However, I bet the whole Mach-E program was conceived specifically to make the CD6 guy happy until he got replaced. Although, with the success of the Mach-E...

Oh man, please don’t get thePill started on the 2017 GT500 we didn’t get and a potential 2027 GT500. The real reason is R&D overlaps on high end models and it helps keep MSRP’s lower. We didn’t get a 2017 GT500 for a bunch of reasons but that’s about as close as I would want a GT350 and 500 to...

…the front bumper is probably destined to be that low. I think the S650 will pull the panels inward in some places and push the panels out in other places. The V8 GT will be a 107.1” wheelbase and probably host a slightly wider track. I believe they will continue to offer the eMustang on a...

If you are wondering where the S650 is heading, GT3 and GT4 would be a good place to look. Motorsport is heavily tied into Ford’s ambition with the Mustang and its has been since 2005, 2011 and even more in 2015. I expect the Mustang’s whole shot at survival rest in the hands of competitive...

Somewhere between the 2015 media render of leaked CAD and the 2020 CAD leak to the media. There shouldn’t be any surprises at this point, be thankful the Mustang survives and the S550 continues to evolve. The true difference between the S550 and S650 will be scalability and obviously cost, since...

The direction of the S550/S650 were leaked in 2014, along with some published renders of the “2015” from C&D and maybe MT. Go back and look at what was published because it was based on leaked CAD data. It was always intended to be a 107” wheelbase but I expect the track to continue to widen...

It will look very similar to the old CAD that leaked in 2014. Dropping the front bummer for a more aggressive hood. The V8 engine’s will be almost shrink-wrapped by the hood. Go look for the old CAD that everyone thought was initially it.

I believe this is the direction Ford has always intended. The S650 is everything we didn’t get for the S550. Still 107 inch wheelbase BUT, I bet we see short versions of the platform for the GT350 and GT500’s at about 105. Maybe a 110 inch long-Stang too but not at launch. This was always the...

I am no longer in touch with anyone in the industry or media... BUT... The S650 was developed along side the S550. To be honest, the S650 is simply all the lightweighting and improvements the S550’s target price couldn’t support pre-2015. The future of the Mustang will likely be based on 3...

That is probably pretty close. Sleek, sporty and very attractive.
