People were joking during the reveal event that someone should take the tarp off. Imagine being the person who runs up, and rips the tarp off just to see the car is still covered in camo. Then getting thrown out of the event XD. But in all seriousness, cool to see some walk arounds up close...
Idk, sketchmonkey did his own rendering where he moved the c-pillar forward, and it looked worse to me. I prefer the shorter rear deck, ideally, the fastback would stretch all the way to the rear, but even if that isn't the case, I still like what they did here.
Yeah, whatever it is, it's under a tarp right now. It's a little hard to tell, but the shape doesn't look identical to an s550 to me. But I could be wrong.
Idk man, I hope not. Stangmode is at this mustang event now. While he's clearly not the most reliable source, he does have actual connections within the company, and actually speaks with ford representatives before coming to this event. So he does have a little bit of credibility. He's staying...
I swear to God, if ford's head of marketing or whatever his official title is openly teases the s650, and then says stay tuned for an announcement tonight, but it's just like a final s550 trim package, I'm gonna shit a brick and throw it through his window.
Was thinking that as well. Just a cleaner, more mature almost type of design that should age very well. The graceful lines of this would suit a Lincoln coupe quite well. With Lincoln revealing what looks like a Lincoln coupe or sedan tonight, we'll see if they try to go down that route.
Except the noise this is making isn't completely artificial. From my understanding, it's a combination of the sound of the motors, and air passing through the exhaust. It's amplified, just as ICE cars are, but the base sound is genuine.
I love it lol, it's far more elegant and attractive than Dodge's current designs. The challenger always had hideous proportions from the side and rear. The charger always looks lumpy and frumpy. This looks muscular, but confident. I'm a little sad that they put holes in the grille and had the...
But hundreds of ICE vehicles do the exact same thing. I've heard from automotive engineers that basically every car sold over the last few decades has had it's sound altered, and molested to an extent. While you're sitting in the cabin, engineers use materials to try to muffle undesirable...
So Jem, I know you don't show your own sketches often. But would you be able to upload some sketches, even if they're rough, that kinda show what the side profile and rear will look like?
No, I'm not saying the report claims the mach-e uses the cd6 chassis. It's saying the s650 being revealed in a few weeks will use the cd6, which basically. This isn't true. I could see an 8th gen mustang using a modified mach-e platform, especially if by then, the platform has become...
That report is flooded with false info. For instance, they're still saying s650 is based on cd6 platform, which is clearly false. They're also saying no hybrid s650, which contradicts what other, more reputable insiders have said. I'm calling bs.
Agreed, we try to avoid taking our '09 Kia Rio on the highways whenever possible. Thing shakes and vibrates like crazy. It has maybe around 120 hp is my guess, so acceleration is dependent on which way the wind is blowing, not even joking haha. It's light, about 2,400 lbs, so not bad for a...
How is that a bad thing? Not only is the mach-e a cool and attractive looking design. But as I've said before, the mach-e was clearly inspired by the traditional mustang coupe. With things like the trapezoidal grill and tri-bar lights. So if you're upset about them using mach-e cues on a...
Now we just need to get the rest of the gang together to solve the mystery of why Ford keeps wasting time and money on heritage editions rather than trying to move their vehicles into the future. Seriously, I hate this let's keep reliving the "glory days" bullshit.
Idk, the tri-bar lights are an evolution of the s550 front tri-bar LEDS. Which were in turn inspired by the metal stampings of the original mustang. So I don't think they're ripping off Kia and BMW with those design elements. The lower intakes look badass imo, and appear to be heavily influenced...
I don't hate it, it looks like they pulled inspiration from the focus RS grille, which isn't a bad thing. I've heard people say the grille opening is too big, but it doesn't look any bigger than the s550. There's just a contrasting black panel, like the current gt500. Which isn't a bad thing, as...
