Thanks for sharing, Chris!
Certainly interesting , and unusual, to hear info coming directly from a senior Ford employee, at least this far out, but I'll take it!
Some pretty vague information though. We expect an hybrid for S650 and, in certain markets (Euro in particular) the ONLY way...
Talking of paddle shifters...........it'd be really nice if the S650 auto featured the paddles from the GT500, or at least something larger and made of aluminum rather than the small plastic ones on S550.
Agreed. Saleen employ Sean Smith who has done some incredible designs.

He did a few 2015 Mustang styling concepts for Popular Hot Rodding magazine a while back.......this was my favourite!
Or...............is S650 a '24MY as most places seem to be reporting? :)
Honestly, this question still bugs me. If S650 is a '24MY then:
1 - Ford will have to skip the '23MY. Or
2 - The '22MY will end early (say July 2022) with the '23MY running Aug 2022 to Feb 2023.
It's been stated that...
On the topic of styling..........I was getting an alignment on my S197 this morning and these two were parked side by side outside. I've often thought the F-Type as an upmarket 2-door Mustang.......and the latest facelift F-Type looks SO much better in the metal than in photos. Squint, and that...
Good to see you back here @amk91 :)
I'll admit, I prefer the facelift front end....well, the lights and grille at least, I prefer the lower fascia from the pre-facelift. But the Mach 1 is the best of the bunch, in my opinion!
Thank you for the fact-check on when S650's design was signed...
There's a company in the UK that is doing a great job of upgrading the current S550's wheel with a flat bottom and better quality materials. If Ford could offer something like this stock, I'd be happy.

Unlike the current model, the S650 Mustang will feature a flat-bottom steering wheel throughout the lineup, a Mustang-specific part that will be more sculpted than the steering wheel that’s...
I wouldn't be surprised if the lower front fascia is similar.......it not that different from the Mach 1, and that was well received.
If I recall correctly, @Jem indicated the GT/Ecoboost could have different front fascias.
It was used to good effect in this render. I'd be happy if at least...
If it looks close to some of the renders we've seen, that's because those renders use the Mach E or Mach E GT as a base.
Of the members here who have seen S650, neither has said it looks like a Mach E, other than the larger grille.
As for the underpinnings, the Mach E 1400 is a Mach E GT on...
Strange, as there's been no mention of this in the UK.
Earlier this year it was announced that Ford UK could not order manual GTs as they wouldn't pass the forthcoming EU noise test (the autos were fine). Then, two weeks ago, we were informed the exhaust has been modified and manual orders can...
It's probably a good job I don't live near Dearborn as I'd spend every waking hour tracking down the prototypes! Very cool that you've seen one though........next time, photos please! :camera: 😁
