Jim Farley came out and said the mustang and other Ford models need to lose weight. I don't see how the mustang loses a lot of weight without a new platform or exotic materials.

If I had to guess, Ford will develop a next gen lighter platform for s750 that accommodates a variety of powertrains from v8s, to EVs, kind of like what Dodge did with the upcoming charger. I think brands are realizing it's smart to design platforms to be as flexible as possible to hedge their...

Exactly, I was scratching my head as to why Ford revealed the GTD so early on in the s650 lifecycle. Sure, it's meant to be a gt3 road car, and you need to build homologated road cars to race in GT3. But let's be real, they could have gotten away with saying the normal s650 was their homologated...

So we're deep down the rabbits hole with this one. But I like to chat with JMD80 over on blue oval forums. For those who don't know, JMD is a credible Ford insider. He said it would be interesting if the way they pulled off a mustang sedan was the take the current overseas Mondeo and Tarus...

Remember that teaser we saw at the mustang 60th? How a lot of people thought that was something as mild as a hybrid teaser. I raised the question of why they were using a fake shape under the tarp, which it clearly was, if it was just another s650 variant considering we all know what the s650...

Yep, the gt 500 will basically be a GTD that starts at less than 100k that uses some of the GTD parts, but ditches the carbon fiber and other super expensive components.

The mach-e starts at sub 40k. The gt performance pack is in the mid 60s, and that's something that at least on the low speeds, rivals the acceleration of the gt500 0-60 in 3.3 seconds. It's expensive, but it's not a terrible value. The next generation of smaller Ford EVs will be 25-30k so the...

It seems like the s750 or whatever it's called will keep the V8 option. That car is almost certainly in development with how car development cycles work. The s550 was in development before the '10 generation came out for instance. Products in development tend to follow trends dictated by upper...

They should have called in galaxie imo, or galax-e depending on how cheesy they wanted to get.

I met the guy who designed the mach-e at Art center about 5 years ago. Jason some last name with a C. Seemed like a genuinely cool dude. He penned the Maserati gran Turismo and the Ferrari p4/5. He'll be in charge of many of the electric Ford models we see in coming years. Meeting people who...

I highly doubt this is related to RTR. Hyping up a third party body kit would be insane.

Does anyone else find it odd that Ford is introducing new variants so quickly as well? We've had the s650 for what? A little over a year. In that time, we've gotten the Ecoboost, gt, basically the gt350 and mach 1 replacement with the dark horse, the California and 60th anniversary special...

I remember people in 2015 saying there wasn't gonna be a new Ford gt revealed because if there was, we would have seen something.

I've mentioned before that there was this s650 design proposal which very clearly was inspired by the fox body. It has the more upright, almost hatchback roofline, no upper grille, and a character line similar to the fox body of a line curving from the hood, and dipping below the side glass just...

Yeah, that's what I'm getting hung up on as well. Ford's always been very candid about future mustang models. In the past, they were always like "Here's an image of the gt 500 coming next year" or "Check out all these teaser vids for this mach 1 coming out". Then all of a sudden they start...

Oh God I can see the cheesy marketing from here. There's gonna be a mode called powered up pony or something.

The GTD was a secret, the latest Ford gt was a secret even to most of the people working at Ford. All I know is there's something additional coming to Flat Rock, but all they said was it wasn't a mustang sedan. They said it would excite people, but that's about it. You're right, car development...

Ford and Shelby have no relation to each other. This is its own thing.

This could something like a new gt 500 or that hybrid mustang we've been hearing about. But like I said in my previous post, I don't understand this teaser if it's just s650 based. When Ford was teasing the previous gt 500, they didn't tease it with a fictional design generated by AI, they...
