It will definitely inherit some of the Mustang styling - hence the name. Just look at the Mach-E. It has zero in common with the regular Mustang but based on styling it somehow resembles a Mustang (tribar lights, pony emblem, front somewhat similar etc.).
Besides, I doubt that any further...
"Stock on stock" the M3 competition makes roughly 100hp more WHP than any stock S650. Ford may say it has 486 or 500 (DH) but the reality is that it cannot be measured on any dyno. A regular dyno will display something like 420-450hp and the numbers a regular S650 puts down are exactly in that...
Thank you for that perspective. 😃
Since you mentioned it I think my BMW G20 330d is a baby BMW M4 GT3 and since both cars, the M4 GT3 and the Mustang GT3 are relatives and the GTD is the street legal version of the GT3 Race Car, my BMW is almost like a GTD.
Very nice, didn't realized that...
For that kind of times the S650 needs at least some +100hp extra. The M3 competition with its extra 100ish HP over the S650 is barely able to produce these numbers (faster 0-60 but 11.5 on the ¼)...
Lovely times. However, the integrated Ford software (SYNC4) is known for showing incorrect numbers.
Try to get your hands on independent instruments and redo the testing. Maybe even some phone apps will give you more reliable numbers.
Imagine spending +$300k on a very exclusive car only to get a slightly updated interior of a $30k Ford...
I can't wrap my head around this ... The upcoming C8 ZR1 has more power, a much better interior and will most likely cost less than $200k... Besides, it can be bought by literally everyone...
In short: no.
However, a 4 door Mustang with AWD and a low price might find his owners.
All German variants are much faster, more luxurious and overall good all-rounders. They don't come cheap but entry versions are already almost on pair with a maxed out Dark horse (~75000€). If they would...
Not on that old ass platform... We'll get a GT500 successor but that one will be very similar to what we already have/had in the past.
Heavy, decent handling and fast - once it gets off the line. The only thing that will be new is the $95K sticker price...
I hope I'm wrong but I don't see Ford...
The Latter.
Essentially the S650 is an upgraded S550 and if you're about to spend a lot of money on something you want it to be worth it. I don't think that the S650 offers any meaningful upgrades compared to its predecessor unless you're into screens...
On these test runs they never go full send in every segment. They would rather push it in some parts of the track in order to prevent spotters to actually measure how fast the car is/can be. Besides, a record run is usually a long procedure that requires everything to go as planned especially...
We might get one in the future. There has already been one DH Convertible that was auctioned off for charity by Ford.
Production should be easy as well since the DH is just a slightly modified GT. Besides, I doubt that we'll see a GT500 convertible ever again. The S550 GT500 had too much power...
Some of these parts look really nice and are almost like a must have in order to get rid of the cheap interior look.
I do ask myself though if the door handles keep all their functions?!
I like the colour combo black and yellow as it is also represented by the best football club in the world ;)
Anyhow, Yellow Splash isn't a metallic painting, isn't it? As far as I know there are no colourful metallic paintings for the Mustang. I just recently saw one with some sort of a...
More like a GT with the Predator engine, a supercharger and some GTD Parts ;)
The GTD is an entirely different car and has almost nothing in common with the regular GT whereas the 500 successor will have little in common with the GTD.
Thank you very much.
I asked some who does general inspections a few months ago and he immediately told me 'it depends'... :D
One of the bigger issues seems to be the fact that the car would be a modified one and not a stock car. Shelby GT500s are somewhat easy to certify because they are stock...
