First RHD S650 Mustang Spied Wearing Red Tail Lamps and Other Changes

[Twin Turbo]

Thanks to @MustangFanClub for originally posting this and to @Dub347sbf who posted it in the Yellow Splash section!

We've seen a prototype RHD S650 before, but this is our first look at a (still pre-production, I assume) RHD S650.

Of course, we don't know what market this one is heading to, but a couple of interesting things to note.

1 - Red tail lamps! (you can just about make out a slight "bump" at the bottom of each of the 3 lights.....this lower section flashes amber, at least that's what we've seen on the previously spotted prototype.

2 - No red fog light in the middle of the backup lamp (could the fog light now be incorporated into the main tail lamp??)

3 - The European/Australian market S550s came pretty much standard equipped with the Performance Pack (without the Torsen diff) and quad tip exhaust. Difficult to tell, but those look like the Performance Pack wheel.....and it definitely has quad tips. This also appears to have the Nite Pony package. Whilst the old Black Accent Package was available for the Australian market, it's not previously been an option for Europe.

Here's the video of those tail lamps in action. Skip to 4m 20secs.....

Looks like a decent solution for non EU cars.

This implementation looks a bit whimpy.

I'd prefer clear tail lights, with the entire height of each tribar sequentially flashing amber.
More masculine!

Thanks for the share! I think the rear fog / reverse lamp is sectioned out into 3 parts. The 2 outer are reverse lights and the middle section is the rear fog like on outgoing S550 Mustangs.

Sharp noticing that this is a RHD. I totally missed that!

Regardless of light color, that black surround needs to go and become body color.

100% agree!

100% agree!

Right on! Even though I am keeping my s550 for now, if I did consider an s650 it would have to be a black one. The only way to easily solve that glaring problem.

I keep forgetting how attractive this car is in Splash Yellow.

I hope we'll get the red tail lamps in Europe finally¡¡

Which black surround do you mean?

Which black surround do you mean?

Tonystark and I are referring to the black surround in the tail lamps. The black plastic that goes around and in-between the tribar lights.

Ah, thanks for clarifying. In my opinion the car looks way too naked that way.
