Yeah, the only way I want to see a 4-door Mustang is if it's based on S550/S650. But I can't see the current architecture being flexible enough to adapt to a longer wheelbase needed for a 4 door. Perhaps that rumoured "S650 is S550 with elements of CD6" is the secret ingrediant.
But if this is...
Thanks AMK.......great information as usual. Not great news for S650, but with Covid and chip problems, I guess that '23MY for S650 introduction was always at risk :(
Guys guys guys....lets be real here, for the most part, Mustang uses "hand me down" engines. We have the Coyote because F150 paid for it. We have the Ecoboost, because its seen in many other applications that have paid for it. We're lucky that the top of the line Shelbys get unique engines like...
Absolutely right, Ace, the Mustang is an emotional event. It's never been about numbers for me, and I'm sure for a lot of other Mustang owners too. And the V8 is a massive part of that.
If S650 were offered with a n/a V8 with 500hp and a 0-60 of 3.5 seconds or a 6 cylinder hybrid with 600hp ad...
If they were going to boost the Voodoo, they would have done it for the GT500. I don't think we'll see Voodoo again in any shape or form.
But, keeping an manual/V8 option is critical for Mustang and I think (or at least hope) that'll be a safe bet.
S650 will be a continue to be offered as a Fastback and convertible that we know and love. As has been stated many times before (if you know who to believe on these forums) S650 will NOT be a CD6 based car......that car was canned a long time ago. S650 will be a heavily modified version of the...
This happens with EVERY facelift and every new model.......seems a lot of Mustangs fans don't like change. Remember when the first S550 renderings hit? "It looks like a Mondeo/Fusion"........even when the first images of the real car appeared "It looks like a Mondeo/Fusion". Then, give it six...
I think it's a pretty safe bet that S650 will use the new design language seen on the Evos and the sculpture first seen in China. Of course, we don't know exactly how that styling will be transferred to S650 but Ace's renderings at least give us something to go on and something to discuss whilst...
I can see what you see, Ace, but I hope it's a trick of the camo. Whilst I don't hate the idea of a 4-door Mustang, if we get one it needs to be based off S650 and NOT any other platform (as this one looks very much front wheel drive, judging by the proportions). In fact, this just looks like a...
And Henry is no longer involved in new Fords, but his name is still on the car 😛
The Mach 1 has proven that Ford dealers will always charge a "market adjustment" if they can think they can get away with it.
In marketing terms, the Shelby name is probably worth more than its weight in gold!
For a company that is intent on leaning on the Icons, they've had a checkered past recently.
The Galaxie.......a brilliant iconic sedan from the 60s.........turned into the Galaxy of the 2000s..........the Cougar a brilliant iconic Mercury pony car......turned into a small Kuga SUV in the...
I think you're right Steve. Personally, I'm hoping for the V8 to be available in two options, as you've indicated. A pure N/A version that would be the main GT in the US, and possibly Europe for a few years......and then a V8 with hybrid assist, as that's definitely the only way we'll have a V8...
I, too, hope the Mach 1 is the benchmark for the standard S650 GT. You're right in that the '14 Boss 302 was the benchmark for the '15 GT, and before that the '08/'09 Bullitt was the benchmark for the '10 GT.
Whilst I'd be content with the Mach 1's engine configuration being the base S650 GT...

This could just be testing Roush specific parts or it could just be an older "Jack Roush Edition"/Stage 3 test car.......but Roush do a lot of testing and development for Ford so this could be...
Good timing! OK, this is about the V8 in general, not just the supercharged Predator.
"In terms of the internal combustion engine, Widmann says you can never count out technology continuing to advance. “There’s still a tremendous amount of bandwidth. The 2.3-liter EcoBoost we have makes as...
Right now we have no official word as to any of the engines that will be available in S650. I think it's probably a safe guess to assume the current Ecoboost and Coyote will still feature, potentially with some small upgrades.
With the Romeo niche engine plant being closed down, it'll be...
