I do see some similarities with the hood/bumper angle between this sketch and the spy shots

If that's a spy shot of the s650 I've got my money down!
Thank you my dude. That is an interesting observation with the tire. Yeah, I feel like that sketch would just be a really solid evolution of the design we currently have, really digging those taillights.Tried to Get You a Little Better Picture Kev.
Spare Kind of Matches the Older Brake Version of the
S650 Spyshots Except for Single Ridge Instead of Double.
It's a design Ford designers proposed for the s550, but I just threw it in here as a, oh, this would be cool to see, kind of thing.If that's a spy shot of the s650 I've got my money down!
Glass roof option would be awesome to have again too, I think there was discussion about this a while back too?I agree that this image is stunning. Practical? Probably not, but oh what I'd give for S650 to look like this
I hope it doesn’t as I would hope for a horizontal screen and Sync+ 2.0 rather than Sync 4 from the Mach-E. I tried an early Sync 4 Mach-e and didn’t really like it. It felt like an unrefined mix between Sync 3 and Tesla’s software… Maybe it was just the vertical screen or the missing buttons but I didn’t like it very much… Besides, I think the new Ranger Raptor interior looks already somewhat dated. The Mach-e was introduced in 2019 and offering a ’24 car that looks like one from almost five years ago isn’t a good idea, especially if it’s a somewhat Halo-car.Do you guys think the S650 would have similar features from the Ranger Raptor interior. Such as full digital gauge cluster, shifter knob and vertical screen?
Digital gauges yes, will there be a larger touch screen? For sure, will it be the massive 12 - 15 inch vertical screens? Hopefully not, horizontal touchscreens are far more visually appealing imo.Do you guys think the S650 would have similar features from the Ranger Raptor interior.

What if instead of having one huge screen in the middle, or going all the way across the dash, they had one largish screen in front of the driver, another in front of the passenger, and vents and touch controls in the middle? Maybe have both touch screens mirror the double brow of the dash in both size and shape. Would look unique, but it would also eliminate the touch screen in the middle obviously, meaning drivers wouldn't be as distracted by looking off to the side while driving, most of the display could be seen while looking straight ahead for the most part. Actually working on a 3D model for a compact ev truck right now, and that's the interior design I came up with. Actually works better visually than I was expecting.
The screen is too large but if it's better implemented into the dashboard I’d argue that this is what a modern Mustang could look like. The steering wheel looks much sleeker than that one in the Raptor and I can easily imagine a sportier version of it for the Mustang. Besides, it has a rotary shifter and enough space for wireless charging. Ford could easily reuse parts… I am just wondering how they could implement a manual transmission without needing to rearrange the center console…
I just really hope that Ford doesn’t cheap out and gives us a slightly updated S550 interior with a better gauge cluster (it can’t be worse) and a vertical screen…
