What will it take to save the V8?
A miracle in the EU… They just banned ICE cars entirely from 2035 onward. Maybe there is still a chance that the calculation is modified so that synthetic gasoline can be considered but I doubt it.
That’s it. What a bunch of …
There are more than a million...
What a shame... They pushed the car an entire year back... again...
S650 should've been a MY2020, then it was pushed back to 2022 as a MY2023 followed by even more push backs and now it's a MY2024 car that might or might not come out next year...
How on earth can the S650 be somewhat up to...
Similar but not the same. Just look at the thin black line underneath the rear lights. The twitter pic doesn’t have those. In addition, a few angles appear to be different especially where the trunk starts/end.
I could be wrong but why would Ford ask for another name if there won’t be another...
This is either one of the worst marketing campaigns in history or we are too dumb to realize that they are teasing the S650’s “black edition/stealth pack” whatever you want to call it. Besides, this rear looks different than this one...
They did take the S197 Boss as a benchmark for the S550 GT (PP) and it turned out well. If the S650 GT drives as good as the Mach 1 and has all the upsides of a refreshed car I would absolutely consider it. Especially as a convertible.
Besides, if the S650 gets a special edition straight away I would be happy but I doubt it. It'll take at least until christmas or 2024 before we get a Boss. In addition, I don't think it will be another Mach 1 or Bullit. We had those.
My guess: No Shelby 350 but a fully loaded hybrid Boss.
" While hybrid and even an all-electric variants remain possible for future years, the S650 will launch with the carryover Ford 2.3L I-4 EcoBoost and Ford 5.0L V8 Coyote..."
According to FA hybrids and other variants will not be available right at the beginning... I thought that at least...
I don’t know why there are so many people out there like you, denying reality. EVs have already made more progress than ICEs in the same amount of time and we are just at the beginning. No, not all problems will be solved within 5-10 years and EVs aren’t more environmental friendly than ICE per...
Yeah, that looks awful... Like a cartoonish Audi TT or a matchbox car... Those proportions are well off... This render doesn't do the possible S650 design a favor...
Anyhow, so far we haven't really heard from any features that require a new version... Something like AWD, driving dynamics or a...
The leaked image looked aweful but the same design in a well done render looks much better. It's already growing on me.
Could be a poster worthy car in real life :like:
Another factor might be the overall power output. If the S650 looks somewhat similar, has less power and Ford wants more money for it I don't see the car being a success.
The S550 was the first Mustang that did cost $50K but everyone saw the much better interior and driving dynamics. Haven't...
I do get your point but what competition are you talking about? Charger, Challenger or Camaro? These competitors will not be any different next year... Same goes for any European brands... I hardly doubt that M4/Rs5 are any real competition to begin with and the next C63 will be a four banger...
Well, according to FA the Coyote will be a "carryover" engine, meaning 450hp or 470 if it's based on the Mach 1. Honestly, I think that's very likely going to happen. The Coyote does not have that much left in it and around 500hp are somewhat what can be achieved without any superchargers...
Porsche would disagree as well as BMW (except the 4Series and the M3/4 front)...
Just look at the cybertruck or the M3/4... all with outstanding designs but they're all aweful. The 3series or the 911 992 look absolutely fantastic and will be loved in the future as well.
My point being is that...
Do you have a link? I haven't found a single good looking bumper... The stock 3 series looks awesome (M340) and wouldn't have need much to make it look more aggressive. However, the M3/4 front is just aweful and so far I haven't seen any aftermarket bumper that is somewhat better. I think one...
Thank you Ford but no thank you if you offer a 600hp V6. I can buy that from BMW, Mercedes, Porsche, Audi... Just insert a name and they'll offer a TT V6 (or any form of 6 cylinder). I also don't want a 4L V8 but rather a 5.0 better 5.2 or even better 6+ liter engine. It also doesn't have to be...
I don't get the "lagest market share"... They have like what 15%? The rest is Android... They might sell more phones than Samsung or Xiaomi or whoever individually but all the others are using Android. It really doesn't matter if you buy a Chinese or Korean product as they are all almost the...
Just don't buy the convertible or your tin foil hat might fall off...
Besides, what's the problem with individual ads? It's not like one is forced to buy stuff... It's just an offer that would otherwise be different but ultimately it's you who makes the decission to buy something or to go to...

Just read this article quoting Jim Farley. He says that Ford is ditching Sync 4 in favour of Google based Android Automotive. He says that they don't want a genertic infotainmentsystem for the Mustang and...
