I doubt it until they make it official. When the C8 Stingray launched people easily found space in the central tunnel for batteries and indicators on some electrical components that showed that the base was ready to feature an hybrid system.
The S650 has afaik none of that. Adding a hybrid...
Just wanted to add this is a US model, not a european one as visible by the small sidemirrors, rearlights, etc. The exhaust pipes are the PEMS (Portable Emission Measurement System) adapters. So who knows what Ford is doing here.
With GTD officially sold in Europe, maybe they also find a way...
I get that the exhaust tips are supposed to be in line with the rearlight shape, but it still looks really off in those pics. But I will hold my final judgement until we see the final car with a fitting diffusor.
I highly doubt it will be close to the AMG One. DRS is a hell of a feature on a track with such high speed segments while increasing downforce/brakeforce heavily when needed. You can't achieve this with a fixed aero setup. And remember the Z06 had huge issues with fast Nordschleife times because...
Numbers don't tell you everything. Yes the DH engine is rated good, but it just needs so much rpm to deliver. The C8s LT2 bascially delivers most of it's torque across most of the rpm band and the low end torque really pushes the car so good.
Here in Germany lots of people use 100 - 200 kmh as...
It looks like the frontend will take inspiration from GT3/GTD with the smaller upper and bigger lower grille, which sounds great with how expansive the GTD is. The center beam seem flatter though and the sides of the lower grille are open instead of closed
Here's my take how the frontend...
I like the GT, but it doesn't even stand any chance against a Stingray. A comparison to a Z06 is just downright useless and any situation where the GT holds up it boils down to absolutely clueless drivers or faked results
The only thing that ruins this achievement is the price. If the Huracan Performante is the cheaper car it doesn't really add up. They could at least gave the GTD a more premium interieur for the money
This doesn't add up, Euro 7 will come in affect in November 2026, not 2025, but only for new homologated cars. The S650 is already homologated, so they can sell it as it is until November 2027. On top they removed the increased pollution requirements, so for CO² nothing changes at all. The base...
No, these emblems are not regulars ones and are meant to break for the airbag without shattering. Not a Mustang, just imagine this guy would have glued an aftermarket emblem over his OEM emblem on the airbag
You trust your saftey to a cheap chinese airbag? You realize the airbags and logos on it have intended breaking points so the airbag can safely rip through them? I wouldn't trust a custom leather or custom emblems to be able to let the airbag deploy correctly without accelerating thousands of...
This is huge, thank you. I know some tuners take a lot of money to reprogramm remote start into your EU Mustang since US keys don't work with the different frequence. Just having to setup the china-clone-key with remote start and it works from the get go is amazing. Will forward your post to...
The S650 is still quite new with a MY2024 launch. If you like the car buy it.
Of course there will be a refresh over the lifecycle of S650, but nobody has any more informations on that. And as long as we don't see any camo prototypes on the streets it's still at least 2 years away. Even if we...
Totally agree. You are now easily in a $50k-$60k range equipped while interest rates are high. And people who already own a S550 don't really get that much more car as a reason to trade in. Good friend of mine owns a 18 GT and actuallly wanted to trade in for a 24 GT or DH, but ended up just...
Seems like the typical hiring people for lead positions that try to cater the company to an audience that isn't even interested in their cars. And of course they will blame everyone else if that fails hard.
