All that complexity (and likely the added pounds over what it could otherwise weigh) simply flies in the face of what the Mustang has (mostly) been. Whether you look at it as a sports car, a muscle car, or even a hotrod, the 'KISS principle' still applies.I'm fully expecting an integrated system for the Hybrid Mustang.
Probably a stand alone trim level. Hi Po V6 w/ all the goodies + an electric motor/regeneration. DCT only of course
Car will be a like a poor man's i8/NSX, almost around 10 years since those cars introductions. Aka it will be INTENSE , typical Mustang brand giving you a caviar taste for frozen shrimp $$$
I know myself well enough to realize that even if such a hybrid Mustang was capable of zero to 60 in two seconds flat or 10-second ET's, that by itself would not be enough to hold my interest. The mindless automatic-like way a DCT gets you rolling holds no appeal at all.
