I'm getting somewhat impatient waiting for the first camo'd S650 prototypes to be spied. Once we see those, we can put the "next-gen won't come until 2028+" rumors to bed. Hopefully!
This.
There's been much talk of disappointment in that S650 won't be all new, and will just be a revised D2C architecture.......but if all-new (S750) mean no ICE, then I hope S650 lasts at least 8 years. It'll be a sad, sad day when you can no longer buy a V8 Mustang. I'll take whatever...
Definitely. The headlamps look superb and its about time the turn signals were incorporated into the headlamp housing again (as they were on the '10-'12 & '13-'14MY) :)
No......S650 will be an evolution of S550, still utilising an updated version of the current D2C platform. The development on all other CD6 vehicles (including the "original" S650) was cancelled after Explorer/Aviator. S650 then became a heavy refresh of the current D2C platform.
So, yes, the...
"Top hat" effectively means all new body (and interior) on top of existing (albeit mildly modified) underpinnings (engine/trans/suspension/body structure)
Think '98 to '99 SN95 or '09 to '10 S197
:)
Thank you @amk91 I've been waiting for you to post :)
At least Autoblog are questioning Auto Forecast Solutions and asking why they're ignoring S650/23MY

I agree it's a shame S650 won't be all new, but I'm still looking...
No, because S650 will be a heavy revision of S550.
Whilst CD6 was designed to support AWD/RWD/ICE/Hybrid, the development on all other vehicles (including the "original" S650) was cancelled after Explorer/Aviator. S650 then became a heavy refresh of the current D2C platform.
It's possible we'll see a full EV for S650, but it'll be a lot easier to implement the EV architecture into a car designed for it from the start, ie S750. It'll be a complicated compromise to try and build an EV S650 when it's been designed primarily for ICE :)
I agree with you Ace. S650 will definitely have ICE and likely hybrid options.........S750/8th Gen is where we'll see the EV.
As for the source, this is why it's odd they're call this the "next gen in 2028". The source is Auto Forecast Solutions and their job is to forecast who's going to be...
As long as it's a proper pony car Mustang (2+2 seating/long nose/short tail/fastback or convertible) I welcome an EV version. It'll be a sad day when you can no longer buy a Mustang with a V8, but we know its coming eventually.
Personally, I'd like to see the EV version sold alongside the V8...
Autoline Daily reporting on the "next gen" Mustang again.
They're still claiming the "next gen" won't appear until 2028..........and when it does it'll be EV only!

What, or who, to believe?!?!
This is a quote from a guy on Blue Oval Forums...........he's usually spot on with his information (he works at one of the build facilities, although I don't know if its Flatrock). He was the first person I saw state that S650 would be a heavy refresh of S550...
