I remember when the gt 350 came out people were saying Ford needed to rely on Shelby to engineer it because their own engineers weren't good enough to make it themselves. This is someone I knew personally, and they were being dead serious. It pissed me off lol.

He would be rolling over in his grave if he saw what his company was like now.

It would be like if you partnered with Disney 70 years ago for a reasonable price, and got your moneys worth because they were a serious partner on the cutting edge of innovation, taking bold risks, and making hit after hit. Fast forward to day, and they sour their reputation by only making half...

Furthermore, I'd argue Multimatic is the newer take on what Ford - Shelby used to have. When Shelby was good, truly as their best, they weren't just throwing tacky chrome wheels and ram truck looking grille inserts onto a car and charging 30 grand. They were engineers, they designed the cars...

The Shelby name isn't what it once was. It still matters to some mustang buyers, but the Shelby name isn't as much of a selling point today as it was 10-15 years ago, and nowhere near as iconic as it was in the 60s when Shelby was at their peak. Shelby has ruined their relationship with Ford by...

I just watched stangmode's vid, holy shit does this thing look gorgeous, especially the black one that shows up at the 9 min mark. What I really love about the front end is the flow of it. The previous gen GT 500 looked really good, but was sectioned of. It was a really strongly defined black...

Its a predator but improved.

To quote Shelby himself "If it's a good car, the name won't matter, and if it's a bad car, the name won't save it". If this ends up being a better performing mustang than any of the previous Shelby models but ends up tanking in value because it doesn't have a snake on the grille, that just means...

Agreed. I was so pumped for a new performance halo model hoping it was a new supercar, and so far we haven't gotten any more info. We know Ford's working on an off-road supercar, and a startup is developing their own off-road hypercar that they're partnered with a massive brand on. They're also...

I see both sides of this, the people who want the Shelby naming, but also why Ford wants to move past that naming convention. The mustang name will always be relevant and iconic, but the Shelby name? That's debatable. I don't deny it has tremendous historical value, and matters to older...

Alright, this looks badass, ya won me over.

The front end looks better in that vid imo.

I mean, isn't it still a Shelby gt 500 replacement if it's something with a predator making north of 800 hp and a host of other upgrades?

Borg on general motors insider. He's a Ford insider with a proven track record.

Could you link the vid of that tour?

They gave a presentation at a design conference for this RS 200 thing months ago, and near the end they talked about more variants and news coming. One of those images even though it's blurred out looks like an off-road variant.

Where did you see that? I know the affordable electric truck is coming, as well as a bronco pickup to replace the ranger.

Hell yeah, I noticed that as well. This could be Ford just being like, look at our motorsports products next to our production cars and how they influence each other. Or it could be a wink/nudge moment. Something else worth noting, that RS 200 concept I've shown off before. The RS 200 is the...

Then again, we also did recently get more info on this off-road supercar from Ford authority with sources talking about what the driving experience was like, and that Multimatic was gonna build it. So if they're working out what the handling is like, and where it's gonna be made, that makes me...

I know, I was active in those posts on this site. But it seems like this all new performance car is an s650 variant with this new gt 500 replacement. I hope I'm wrong, a new supercar, off-road or other wise would be freaking badass, but it's looking less likely. The only car they've teased...
