Unfortunately there will be no C8 competitor. We get this GTE /GT3 street legal version for $250k+ and maybe there will be a mid-engine GT successor. However, since the GT was extremely limited to VIPs and influential people I doubt that a new version would be any different, including its...
Internal documents / leaks mentioned 28 or 29,which is much more believable than 26. The S650 will have at least a lifespan of six to eight years, starting in 23. We'll most likely see a refresh in 25/26 with Android Automotive replacing Sync 4 and a GT500 successor around the same time.
I think the question for almost everyone is "Is it worth the money?"
The car is better than it's predecessor in every way but we talk about marginal improvements and a heavy uptick in price...
Do you just want some unreliable numbers or is this some sort of wishful thinking?
This was not "just a first drive"... You can say that about any other literal first drive, including stangmods biased run... Independent means to use third party instruments and not Fords implemented software to...
Here are the Edmunds track test numbers and they are as slow as expected:
GT 0-60 in 4.8
1/4 mile in 12.7, which is decent.
Ecoboost convertible
0-60 in 5.6
1/4 mile in 14.2
here is the video:
I think those numbers are far off some speculated 3.6 or 3.9 seconds and I don't think the DH...
Well, based on what Ford "accidentally" published it is...
Besides, here is another source:

Given what Ford has done with the S650 Mustang we're safe to assume that the next GT500 will at the base be an upgraded version. Slightly more HP, a few tweaks here and there (same as S550 GT - S650 GT) and we have the new GT500... So far everything Ford has shown were incremental steps. The...
I totally agree. Havenāt watched all the reviews but some certainly tried to paint the best picture possible. Besides, it is difficult to remain absolutely independent when:
A: future invitations may depend on your (positive) conclusion and
B: you get invited and get a special treatment by a...
I have some mixed feelings:
Pros:
It seems like the RWD V8 can put its power down slightly better
Almost everything seems to be slightly better/improved compared to the S550 - regarding the exterior and the drive train
Sync 4 seems to work somewhat fast and responsive most of the time
US...
I have some serious doubts hereā¦
First off, why is everyone saying there are 3 people in the car? Doesnāt the screen indicate itās ājustā 2 and the driver hasnāt got his seatbelt on? Does he say at any time that there are three people in the car?
Second, 3.9 is the time recorded by Fords own...
The B&O System in the S550 is the worst "upgraded" system I've ever heard. B&O usually makes decent systems ā theyāre somewhat on the more expensive side of things but for home systems they offer quite good stuff.
In the S550 however they just delivered the name. Garbage system and something I...

In this article Mark Rushbrook, head of Ford Performance, talks about selling 30-50 GT3 cars easily. Since the GT3 car doesn't need to have a street legal counterpart I doubt that we'll see any 5.4L Mustangs any time soon...
True, 100-200 tells you more about the real power of the car but 0-100 gives you ābragging rightsā ;)
Outside of Germany no one can legally drive anything close to 200 so the absolute vast majority of people can only do 0-100 legally. So 0-100 (or better 30-120 or something) is something people...
It looks absolutely cool.
However, these tests should be made before the sheet metal is finalized⦠At this point only fine-tuning is possible (angle of the rear wing and so on).
There are similarities between those two cars. Not denying that. However, the S650 doesn't look like a Camaro or an Aston Martin... From time to time some design choices may coincidence as there is only a limited amount of styles than can be used on a 2+2 coupe with a big engine under the...
Or these people can see some similarities but are old enough to identify two separate cars from two different manufacturers from each other. As mentioned several times before the cars have to be similar as their āclassā is quite limiting in terms of design⦠Just look at Aston Martin⦠Some of...
