I was more focused on the total lack of control of the transmission now that the Performance Pack has been deleted. I prefer the manual myself, but to not even so much as have any option to change gears yourself, to me eliminates the fun factor.
Take the fun out of the sports car, and it...
It does seem like they removed a lot of the more fun options from the Ecoboost, which is strange. I don't think they'll kill it though - they need that gas mileage.
I'll say it again - I really don't think Ford is dumb enough to defeat an entire trim level this way. I mean, not even paddle...
I was messing around with the inventory search tool on Ford's website and noticed that there's a color on there named "Royal Crimson Metallic Tinted Clearcoat" that brings up 0 search results in my area.
I did a quick google search and apparently the color was last offered on the 2018 MY...
This is not Intense Lime Yellow. The new yellow looks very different to this.
I have seen the color on a prototype exactly once. As a matter of fact, given the (many) unique features of said prototype, I'm very surprised we don't have a photo of the color yet. I thought a spy photographer would...
It is there, it is just clear. Similar to the Euro S550's taillights, the Euro foglight cover isn't red.
Activating it will illuminate the center part of the light fixture in the lower rear fascia red.
For all we know, a Ford employee could be reading this thread, thinking about the irony in the way this conversation redirected itself.
Unless they've forgotten that MPG is the name of the game for ICE engines, I personally doubt Ford is stupid enough to leave Ecoboost owners out in the dust...
I'm not pretending to know anything, so don't take this as a fact - notice how the front bumper isn't as reflective. We already know that the bumpers and the body are not made of the same material; perhaps that has something to do with it?
You may make money on it in decades to come, if it becomes a highly sought-after car. Bear in mind that this car didn't sell out at all, let alone as quickly as other low-volume specialties. And this isn't exactly a huge specialty.
The 60th Anniversary in BB is a very beautiful car - congrats...
This post exists:
Given the number of prototypes that I have seen in this color already, I'm very surprised that there are not any spy shots by now. I'd assume this Mustang is one of them what with the lineup of manufacturer-plated vehicles in the background.
The best way I can describe the...
...So there's low availability on standard DH wheels and they're naturally not producing 67P orders until April. Sounds like getting a Dark Horse is going to be problematic if you want an S-chassis quickly.
Uh huh. Interesting.
If there's an Ecoboost hybrid running around Dearborn, it's reasonable to assume there's a GT hybrid somewhere as well. Where there's smoke, there's fire.
Pure speculation here - I don't see them putting the hybrid tech on the GT V8, as that would make it more powerful...
I don't want to pretend like I know what the exact losses are per component, but I'd like to imagine removing the wheels probably doesn't have a huge effect? Maybe 3% difference, I'd guess.
Either way, I still think the numbers are much higher than what was stated, so overall positive.
320kw = ~429.127 Metric HP, / 98% to convert to Imperial HP = ~437.88 brake horsepower.
Divide by 486, since this particular car has active exhaust, and that's only a ~10.1% loss in power through the drivetrain. Impressive.
