I doubt that they opt for the 48V mild-hybrid system. The reason why many European brands do so is to reduce the overall fleet emission. My BMW 3 series has it and it does absolutely nothing. It generates 11 theoretical hp and should reduce emissions but one can hardly feel any difference or...
I don't think that any Mach-E shares any parts wirh the S650 apart from some front features.
The Mach-E was build from the ground up and didn't share any platform with it's 'predecessors'. It's literally a completely different car apart from the name.
Now, based on what we know from @amk91...
Hydrogen is simple put a dead end. It just doesn't make any sense, especially in cars. Either use electric drivetrains right away or use synthetic fuel. Wasting energy to transform it into another form is pointless.
I'm also pretry sure that we'll never see a hydrogen Mustang that can actually...
For those of you who don't speak German: it says that the S550 will be discontinued at the end of the year. Orders can no longer be placed as availability is already limited. There will be no ’23 S550 – at least not in Europe – but I doubt that there will ever be a ’23 S550.
Anyhow, finally a...
A quite skilled fellow by the name of 'The Sketch Monkey' just uploaded this video:
It's an interesting video and he comments on his design, based on a S550.
Quite the opposite is the case. The demand for bigger, faster and more luxurious cars is growing, at least in the EU and probably around the world as well. I think the US is somewhat special as they have ridiculously low gas prices and already large cars everywhere…
However, answering your...
I think the reason for the GT350 beeing so desired is purely based on the high reving Voodoo engine. It's not crazy fast, the GT offers more potential for the $ and Ford had quite a few problems with the Voodoo...
However, in terms of pure driving experience it's one of a kind and that's why -...
Interestingly most of the said above has been confirmed four years later.
I'm still curious about the hybrid tests... I simply cannot imagine they build a proper hybrid mule that couldn’t handle the amount of power… How much power would be needed? Adding a ~200hp electric engine that powers the...
Taking into consideration that this car could’ve seen a 2020 release but was only put on halt in a last minute effort, I would imagine that most design elements were finalized for a 2020 release. Pushing the car back and rethinking some elements could mean that only a few parts from the original...
It has been stated multiple times but I think that the Mondeo/Fusion has a lot of styling elements closely related to the S650. I still believe that S650 was scheduled for 2020 and that they didn’t change the styling all that much. If S650 would’ve been a brand new Mustang on a new platform in...
Interesting design but it looks fairly small and flat... Like one has to be 170cm or below in order to sit properly in it. Besides, the grill is too much Audi and the front would probably need more air vents. Reminds me of Aces designs.
In addition, the headlight would have 4 bars with that...
Why do we need a massive leap in design? Tech yes but design?
Porsches 911 looks almost exactly like it did when it was first revealed. Just update the design so that it can carry the Mustang into the late twenties.
The screen is too large but if it's better implemented into the dashboard I’d argue that this is what a modern Mustang could look like. The steering wheel looks much sleeker than that one in the Raptor and I can easily imagine a sportier version of it for the Mustang. Besides, it has a rotary...
I hope it doesn’t as I would hope for a horizontal screen and Sync+ 2.0 rather than Sync 4 from the Mach-E. I tried an early Sync 4 Mach-e and didn’t really like it. It felt like an unrefined mix between Sync 3 and Tesla’s software… Maybe it was just the vertical screen or the missing buttons...
You did miss out on reading 'these days' - meaning modern platforms ;)
D2C is simply to old to be modular. It was built for the Mustang and as such it was built around the requirements of a 2005 car again, if we consider the D2C as a new platform.
Modern platforms share modular designs and as...
Maybe we (EU) get the hybrid first? Maybe they can't sell a NA V8 here anymore and their only option is the hybrid, hence the EU mirrors...🤷‍♂️
The M340i always has xdrive as every sporty car should have that cares about performance. RWD is not competitive unless you have some prepped surfaces and such. So let’s stick to the real world. The page I quoted was just one out of several that have similar results: A M340i beats a Mustang GT...
