I was just watching POV videos of the F150 Powerboost, trying to make sense of how they synthesized V8 sounds into the cabin. Do you think if the Mustang does end up getting that engine instead of its own V8-hybrid...
1. They'll do that piped-in sound?
If yes,
2. Do you think they'll provide...
Main thing I'm looking forward to with the S650 program is whether those rumors of AWD, hybrid powertrain, and/or the potential return of a V6 engine option are real or not. Oh, and perhaps most important, if the V8 survives for the S650 and possibly onward or not (through hybridization or...
I'm definitely not an engine expert. But considering how far four-cylinder engines have come as far as fuel efficiency goes, why haven't we seen the same for six- or eight- cylinder engines (NA or turbo)? Does it just come down to emissions output or is there more to it than I think there is to it?
How'd I miss this when it was originally posted? Assuming any of this is legit, I've got a lot to think about...
"GT350/GT500...105" wheelbase." I'm guessing these models would be your truly track-ready Mustangs if they're going to make them exclusively as 2-seaters?
"Base Mustang, EB, GT, and...
I'm assuming this render is from the same Ace from this forum? I like it, even though this take looks more like an evolution than a whole new take on the Mustang. That said, I wouldn't mind if the S650 looked like this, even if it doesn't look like it takes any cues from the sculpture previewed...
I guess if we're being technical, the 5.0 would be considered the gateway to the GT350 and GT500...or the Mach 1 and GT500 starting with the 2021 models.
But I was thinking more of a V8-engined vehicle that serves as the gateway to the GT. Although, now thinking about it, maybe having two V8...
Even if the S650 only winds up with the I-4's and V8's again, it got me thinking. With all the advancements made with optimizing fuel economy, why hasn't anyone tried going back to making a lower powered V8 and promoting that as the entry-level "gatekeeper" to the full-muscle variants of these...
I thought I read (here, I think...and potentially also as speculation) that the S650 was going to ride on a heavily revised version of whatever the S550 is on right now, and that the CD6 would be for what comes after the S650.
As for the potential powertrain choices...maybe the V6 option is...
