Twin cold / ram air on S650 5.0 ?

[ThreePedalPlow]

Just wondering if anyone has noticed if the S650 essentially has twin cold / ram air? This is a picture that shows the ductwork. Do you think these attach directly to the front grill somehow?

I think I read that the nostrils in the grille are the intakes, which makes sense if you think about it. It is just like the ford thunderbolt.

Yup, they do. They said it during the reveal a couple months back.

Didn't they say VGJ was involved in the S650 design/development? I always liked his accent vent lights https://www.rtrvehicles.com/products/rtr-upper-and-lower-grille-w-led-accent-vent-lights-18-20

Now those vents are actually functional which is cool. What I don't get is: Where is the benefit of the design if it doesn't make more power or torque than the Bullitt/Mach 1 (at least in the new GT, which could be due to software programming)? Maybe better throttle response? We shall see

Ford has been doing intakes like this from the 2010 model year they’ve been routing the intake right behind the front bumper but you maybe right they may have them ram air style they hint at it in the technical docs

They've said it goes right to the grill.

It will be interesting to see if the aftermarket will be able to make a viable (for the obvious high cost of two intakes) set up. Ford as of late has been pretty efficient at engineering their systems. Maybe a two K&N high flows and call it a day situation.

1 big intake into a 3.0 whipple.
