I get the feeling that there won’t be a hybrid right from the get go. There is absolutely zero evidence or rumors pointing in that direction… That might change with the refresh but I still don’t see how that makes sense from a marketing standpoint… S650 will be sold around April 23. If we’re...

Sry, but you are plain wrong. Ford is closing their plant in Saarlouise by 2025, yes (https://www.forbes.com/sites/michaeltaylor/2022/06/22/ford-to-close-its-german-plant-in-2025-ford-of-europe-chairman-confirms/?sh=16ecb4913e4b) , but I was talking about their new “European Electrification...

We had the same discussion regarding the CD6 platform… The sheet-metal is absolutely irrelevant. Use the Mach-E Platform, make it look like a S550 and nobody would spot any differences apart from maybe some enthusiasts. Give it a better suspension and some other improvements and most buyers...

There is a very good reason and it’s called emissions. Ford can’t sell the Mustang in Europe or elsewhere anymore and I doubt they’ll be able to apply the necessary changes without hybrid tech. It would be a huge thumbs up for car enthusiasts but an even bigger letdown for the rest of the world...

Isn't the C8 a suitable daily? :D Anyhow, I'm glad you go for the best out of two worlds. I'll mostly likely buy a gen7 myself. I would love to own a C8 Z06 but with an estimated price tag of around 180K in Europe it's just way above what I'm willing to pay for a car... Keep up the good work...

Ford revealed the renamed nite Pony/black accent package. According to Ford Authority the MY23 can be ordered with it. I checked Ford.com and the My22 S550 can still be ordered with the 'black accent package'... The reveal trailer on Instagram also showed the S550...

Your best one thus far. I like it a lot. :thumbsup:

Yeah, we will most certainly see some pics around the 10th of September... However, I'm curious as to why they don't test drive the car with less camo. They certainly do somewhere but obviously not in public like the Germans do. I thought we would see a period of test drive vehicles with just a...

or 149 HP if you live in the rest of the world :D

Hate it or love it but it's an undeniable fact that the Mach-E keeps the Mustang alive. Its generates money and from what I'm concerned I couldn't care less. There was a time when every Porsche was a sports car... These days Porsche is better than ever and the reason are the Cayenne and the...

It was often stated in numerous rumors that the S650 GT will look different than the Ecoboost. Main reason was that fans wanted a stronger distinguishing between the two cars. I like that very much and the “leaked” GT-front will indeed look different although not entirely.

Keep in mind that the leaked image supposedly shows the Ecoboost and not the GT front ;)

Every article is talking about carry over engines with little to no changes… That would be a huge bumper! Yes, the exterior will get an evolutionary update and the interior will be radically different from what we’ve seen but that’s pretty much it and I doubt that that is what most of us are...

I think that is plain wrong. Money is always the driving factor unless you have all the money in the world. But as long as someone cannot afford to burn a Bugatti money is an issue. The GT is faster, sounds better and is way more iconic. It is however, more expensive in almost every regard...

I do get your point and I think in general I can agree with you. However, as is, the current (fully loaded) GT is sold for almost 60.000€ before discounts in the EU. I can buy a manual M3 for almost the same (63.000€ after discounts). Obviously this isn't a totally fair comparison but the point...

Unfortunately we haven't heared from any hybrid V8s in a very long time... Assuming that FORD is playing it cheap and dirty the S650 will get an upgraded v6 hybrid from the F150... They can keep that... I don't share your "Mach-E only" distopia though but rather think that FORD will come up...

I think quite the opposite would've been the case. New platform would allow the usage of lighter materials (aluminium frame and such) and would've also allowed for structural improvements. Hybrid and AWD would've been easily implemented. Just because CD6 is so far only used by suv's doesn't mean...

The S650 will have zero competitors and therefore can allow itself to be the slightly updated S550 that it's going to be. Same platform, no AWD, no/minor structural changes... Expect a S550 with upgrated tech/interior and upgrated metal sheet. If you expect some heavy weight loss or other...

Seriously, who cares about a fairytale world where some magician put some sort of glue on the ground to make less well engineered cars apear to be faster than they actually are? "Grow the hell up..." I think @Ace 's statement is something to look into but it is an undeniable fact that the...

Any "insight" news regarding testing without that heavy camo around? Any new news or details regarding the Coyote or performance versions? It's been a while and I hate waiting :D
