I dont think there will be a GT350...

I think a hybrid v8 or v6 performance model is definitely something they must be thinking about. One angle i havent seen referenced in the forums much is the Formula 1 partnership with redbull powertrains. I assume most are at least peripherally aware that in 2026 there will be a (partially) ford branded hybrid performance powertrain powering 2 teams in F1. (new rules continue the v6 turbo layout but ~50% of power must come from the battery) I cant see why they wouldn't try to capitalize on that marketing opportunity and the learnings from the program partnership to bring something to market. According to red bull the partnership is more than just branding with ford providing expertise on the battery/hybrid side.

This is only if you don't count the Mach-E as an Electric Engine, battery combo. I'm seeing they developing this more in the Mach-E branding than on the actual Mustang. With that been said I can't believe so much of you are arguing that a hybrid Mustang is needed. Why you want to add more pounds to the already heavy car. If there is something that the Mustang really really need is not AWD, Hybrid etc is Aluminium. Fuck yesterday Porsche presented a 500 hp 3000 lbs car ours is 4000 lbs for same power. And Farley is talking about beating Porsche yeah right.

Yeah but my point is not the price but the fact that while Mustang is getting heavier and heavier. The Porsche could be made that light and this is mostly because it's a 70% aluminium chassis.
