Those look like the Ecoboost High Performance Handling Pack (what a mouthful!) wheels :)
(same design, albeit wider, are also an option on the Mach 1).
Whatever though, I'm just glad to see something, anything new! :like:
The most recent renders have all been very similar and that's because they're based on the leaked front end photo. All the renders look like the S550 from the A-pillar back, because they've got nothing/zero/zilch to base any changes on, because the camo has kept that hidden.
Of course, it may...
I'm still hope this means hybrid tech with the V8. Of course, it could mean the current engine just being de-tuned to meet emissions, but my glass is still half full at the moment :like:
While the V8 is sticking around, Jammoul indicates that Ford is cleaning up the engine's emissions. "What we...
Yeah, that prototype appears to have just twin tail pipes, so likely an Ecoboost.
I suspect you're right though, and 19s will likely be the biggest for most models. There is a 20" wheel that's optional on the S550, so hopefully that will still be the case for S650, although that was never...
Zero news or leaks. I suspect Ford's NDAs now have people fearing for their jobs.
All we really have are spy shots, two leaked photos and then, most recently, Ford's confirmation the 7th Gen is coming.
When will we see it revealed? Could Ford give us something during the Woodward Dream...
I'm not exactly sure what we're looking at there, but I suspect it's sub assembly items that would be produce elsewhere (Mexico) and full assembly is still done at Flat Rock.
Good catch, I was too busy looking at the photographs 😁
Hope the OP doesn't mind, but I've updated the thread title.
(in case you're wondering, a test mule tends to be a hacked together vehicle.....in this instance an S550 with S650 bits added. This is a much later prototype vehicle, so it's...
Here's a hyperthetical timeline that assumes S650 is a '24MY:
Autumn 2022 - S650 is revealed to the public (either online or at the Detroit Show (Sept) etc)
November 2022 - '23MY S550 goes into production
March 2023 - '24MY S650 goes into production
March 2023 - Australian Supercars race car...
Yes, the Aston (actually an AMG 4.0 Twin Turbo V8) and the Jaguar use cross plane crank V8s........Ferrari and McLaren use flat plane cranks. Flat Plane cranks traditionally sound like a superbike engine, or 2 four cylinders due to the firing order. A lot of work was done to give the GT350's...
Potentially.
This ties in with what I was told a few months back......that Ford could not extend the '22MY past December 2022. Once in 2023, the VIN needs to reflect a 2023 build date.
If S650 is coming in March 2023 as a '24MY, then the '23MY really will be a short one. And I suspect that...
If the S650 is a '24MY as expected, then the '23MY is likely to be a very short one. In case you missed this on M6G, here are the proposed dates for the '23MY. It also means the '22MY is truncated, as that kicked off production on January 3rd this year and will end in November.
Sadly, leaving the EU won't help. Despite us leaving, the UK will still implement the ICE ban within similar timescales although I guess, in theory, it would be easier for our Gov't to back track on that decision alone.

Gotta love Ford's PR machine............they teased us with something that ended up being just "give us a new name for our Black Accent Package"..........then today, BAM outta nowhere we get the first official news that the 7th Gen is coming 😆
