I think the Mustang faithful will engage with S650, even if it takes some a while to accept the styling (I'm not looking forward to 6-12 months worth of "it doesn't look like a Mustang" comments!!). I think the fact this is very likely the last ICE Mustang will ensure an extra level of...
I appreciate this isn't S650 related........at least not yet, but I expect we'll see a similar type of camo adopted for all Ford prototypes, including S650, from this point on. This is clearly a response to leaked prototype photos taken at supplier locations.
"This particular pickup sports a...
The trouble with pushing S650 back any further is S550 sales would fall even further as it's getting very long in the tooth.
We expected a second S550 refresh for the '21MY but it didn't happen. Ford expected the facelift car to run for 5 model years ('18 to '22). Extending that to 2024...
A friend of a friend (yeah, I know I know)......claims to have seen the S650 headlamp. They want to keep their job though, so he didn't dare take a photo......and wouldn't even describe it.
Funny, because I recall seeing the S550 (facelift) headlamp "leaked" on a random Mustang FB page a few...
So does S650........but only insiders have seen it ;)
I know Ford are clamping down hard on supplier leaks, but I bet that's how we get our first glimpse......whether it be the whole car, or just parts of it.
First year of an all-new model would see good sales, so I'd expect Ford to prioritize S650 when it's time comes. But, who knows.....Covid.....chips shortage.......these things come in threes lol
Your detail on dates is mind boggling, but it's greatly appreciated.
I have no doubt Covid will have impacted the original timelines for S650 but I hope it's only by a few months, like you've indicated.
The hunt for information on the next-gen Mustang has been something I've loved ever since...
I'd hope Ford can move S650 closer to the driving dynamics of the 6th Gen Camaro. The chassis balance of the Mach 1 seems to be getting good reviews in as much as it seems to be the best S550 yet, so I'm confident S650's dynamics will be an improvement over the current car. Of course, less mass...
Once again, fantastic information, thank you. I'm impatient to see the full prototypes, but knowing they're unlikely to be seen until late Summer/Autumn at least puts my mind at rest.
Nice find, thank you.
In a way, I'm glad they've not used this to preview S650. I'd much rather see the real thing............talking of which where ARE those prototypes?!?
I don't think we'll see the DCT in anything other than an SE S650. That being said, I do hope the 10-speed gets the updates that Mach 1 received to the torque converter and shift programming as reviews indicate the upgrades have made it an even better transmission. But it still needs better...
I hope they don't stray too far from the current interior look. It needs to keep that classic Mustang "double brow" dash. Just lose the tiny 4" center screen......make the 8" the base and 10 or 12" for the Premium.
Just increase the quality of the leather/plastics/switches and have the next-gen...
