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

[BLITZM]

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

You opinion is appreciated.

Maybe the car has to be somewhere by April 17th!

That was my thinking! We've got an event on Saturday 15th with Ford UK.......but I'm not holding out much hope that one's for us!

I thought I'd post this here..........whilst this car wasn't RHD, it was Euro spec and one of the few times we've seen it with the lights on. Here, you can see the bottom portion of the tail lights are not lit, as that part forms the turn signal. I so wish I'd thought to take video/photos of the working tail lamps of the red Dark Horse we had here in the UK last weekend!!

I think it's still a better setup than Gen 6 EU. It at least will be real red and pinkish when on.

Gen7 EU finally feels like our model isn't a visual step down from the US model.

Is anyone else seeing pre-facelift S197 Mustang in these taillights or is it just me?

I agree and they got rid of that ugly "GT" surround/batch EU Mustangs used to have.

Overall I like the visual changes that have been made. Looking forward to see it in person.

Oh I nearly forgot about the fake gas cap thing. It was a nice gimmick on the 50th anniversary models, but overall it looked out of place especially since it wasn't gloss black like the rest of the rearpanel

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.

The backup lamps look to be using clear lenses.

Where is this car? I like the solution with the taillights.

It was in Belgium but I believe it’s since been moved to Germany
