Rumored to cost between 25 and 70 grand, yes I know that's a huge gap lol. The one close to 25 is believe to use a 120 hp 3 cyl, and the 70 grand one is running a 400 hp turbocharged motor. That's what the rumor mill is saying. Then there's this electric concept. I have no idea if it's gonna be...
This and that yellow mr2 concept are apparently riding on the same platform. That's if both of them stay as EV models but that's what their designers were saying.
I mean, that's mostly an issue if they develop a new platform for one model, and one model alone. With Ford making this awesome, and insane push towards performance cars, who's to say Ford can't develop a shared architecture for unibody performance models? Something that can be used for...
Ford has basically said straight up the mustang isn't going anywhere, even with the current sales slump. The mid-engine mustang becomes the more affordable replacement for the Ford GT, that's the solution imo. Make it comparable in price to the '05 Ford GT, give in a manual to differentiate it...
The chassis they were gonna use was cd6, the explorer chassis. I think that would have made the car even heavier honestly, and insiders have confirmed as much. S750 is expected to get a new chassis and come out around 2031-32, again, according to credible insiders.
Bill Ford and Jim Farley were talking about mustang not that long ago, how it doesn't really have a limit, and they're considering multiple body styles. I wonder if that means a mid-engine mustang is something that's at least be considered in some meetings. There are a lot of parallels between...
The newer vanquish is a great example of where the next gen mustang should go in terms of proportions. Much longer wheelbase, lower, longer hood, shorter overhangs, etc. It would not only look great, it would improve performance as well.
Smaller cars have tighter emissions regulations, which effectively makes a small V8 mustang unviable. That being said, a smaller, cheaper mustang based on c2 (Focus, bronco sport, maverick) with the 2.0 and 2.3 ecos would be pretty cool. The affordable small EV platform coming up for vehicles...
Especially with his wife leaving him and his father dying basically at the same point in his life, I'm glad he's able to find something to pick his spirits back up.

I've said it before, but just bring back the RS 200, it's perfect for this, and I've shared that concept they've already made. Then do a road going version as well. It makes more sense than doing a road...
I was looking at not only this thing, but also all the awesome Ford's in the background thinking "Yeah Ford is hands down the coolest enthusiast brand in the planet". Try finding any other company with as much exciting variety as that lineup.
From cursed to first! First and third in the first race of the season. Ford finally shows up to play and it is beautiful. Hopefully they carry this momentum through the season.
40 mins to go, still under caution. I'm not certain, but it looks like the mustang jumped a few positions due to a fast pit stop. So instead of 4th/5th, they could be running 2nd once the green flag flies.
Edit: The mustang is back in the lead, Corvette in second, but it looked like all the...
With an hour to go, they're in 4th/5th about a second behind the leader, and the caution just came out. Gonna be a nail bitter to the end, looks like any of the top 5 cars could take the win here.
There was also a program Ford's CEO hinted at regarding reducing the weight of the mustang without making the price explode. I have to believe that's something that'll influence the next gen as well.
With just over 20 hours to go, they're running 1-2. Exciting, but there's still a lot of race to come. There's about a 10 second gap to 3rd, which is pretty substantial for only being 4 hours in.
I don't want to act cocky, but it's looking good. Definitely stronger right now than they were...
