I agree. It's the Mustang 'GT' so for and the vast majority in Germany I would say that we don't consider the Mustang a proper sportscar. It's a GT and mostly used as such. It's also sporty but it's not a sportscar.
A 1200kg car would be great but with all these modern regulations it's almost...
Reasonable arguments. Thank you for your answer.
I like the R8 as well, who doesn't? It's just in another league compared to the TT - performance and money wise...
I think most people like Porsche. Today their cars are the best you can get but they do come at a price... I generally don't like...
You mention your desire quite often yet I still don't understand why you don't simply buy a TTRS... It's small, somewhat light and faster... Isn't it the perfect car? Honest question.
I hate the TT in general, way too small, it looks pathetic (it's size makes it worse) and it's really only...
It literally always was the original pony car ;)
But aside from that I do agree with some of your arguments. The S650 will sell and most buyers aren’t enthusiasts like us. Most buyers will appreciate the screens. That being said I think most would still prefer integrated screens if they had a...
Wasn't that one of the first things Ford perfected?
Creating future demands throughout colors?
There will be different colors every MY. If you want a specific color you have to wait for said MY or wrap/paint it yourself.
I totally agree. Sales will be down by quite a bit compared to 2014. Main reason is the lackluster refresh they call S650. The S550 was a major overhaul although not entirely new. It was the first Mustang sold internationally and the first with an independent rear suspension. Besides, its design...

Maybe he will do a better job?
Although I doubt that he'll have much of a lasting impression on the S650... I expect him to maybe increase the built quality...
AWD, HUD and a restructured dash. Implement the screens and redesign the center console. A better looking hood, especially the air intake on the GT, would be nice. The S650 hood looks somewhat unproportional on photos... GT500 hood would be overkill but something in between maybe?!
Impossible...
You sure can. I like my BMW and it's a perfect daily driver. However, at the moment I drive around 800km per week, ~45000km a year. Doing so in a V8 is too expensive as the fuel consumption would be astronomical. I mainly use the Autobahn and drive 200+km/h on a regular basis. My 3 liter Diesel...
Well, I suspect that we only get mild changes in terms of interior and exterior. Biggest changes will take place under the hood. That's what happened to the S550... Besides, rumors have it that we get a hybrid...
Does anyone have any news on EU Mustang?
Specs, price etc?
All we know this far is that one can order the S650 in "summer 2023". We get the GT, the GT convertible and the DH. Deliveries will begin towards the end of the year.
Since the order guide came out someone might have some extra info’s...
I had the same idea. Why stop at the Foxbody? It's minimal effort and can give customers a more immersive and unique interior.
Give us some options Ford, @Apeman provided some excellent examples.
I don’t know if mild-hybrid systems really pay off. They do in terms of emissions and according to Ford EU there won’t be any non-hybrid cars after 2025. However, as a German I hoped for a more radical approach that would benefit me as a tax payer. Seeing Mercedes new “C63” hybrid is shameful...
As far as I'm aware all 3 liter BMW engines have that mild-hybrid system. Diesel and petrol. I think that the term “hybrid” is somewhat misleading for unaware customers.
The mild-hybrid cannot be charged externally and one cannot drive purely on electricity. Besides, the electric motors do not...
Do me the favour and reread the article....
"The total investment value is a staggering $3.7 billion, to be split into three locations that will each perform specific tasks and build new vehicles.
Ford Motor Company: S650 Mustang And P703N Ranger Investment
Michigan will receive $2 billion...
That’s just wrong. It clearly states that the $2 billion are not solely spend on the Mustang but are split between the S650, the new P703N Ranger and production increase of the F150 lightning. The article doesn’t specify any further numbers but I would bet my a$$ that the absolute vast majority...
I would be very happy if Ford actually HAD invested in the S650 but they really didn't. It's a renamed refresh with increased prices. The current price hike is decent and would be somewhat acceptable for a new generation but since the S550 prices were increased way above inflation it's a cash...
