I wouldn't care if it lost 50hp, as long as they shave off some serious co2 emission with the new automatic I'm buying.
Wait.......what? Is there some tax/license issue for you concerning co2?

There are crazy taxes on high co2 cars in some european countries. In Netherlands the Mustang EB costs 57k€ while the Mustang GT costs 119k€!

For comparison, in germany we pay 38k€ for the EB and 44k€ for the GT :D

Unless required for functionality, am not a fan of the "carbon fiber" fad of making it CF just because they can... Think it will get old after a while, and like most fads will fall out of favor for the next "new and shiny" gimmick.
:popcorn:

I agree...wish we could get the alcantara seats without the Carbon Fiber trim!!

What the hell? Ford just built an entire car almost completely out of carbon fiber(Ford GT). They where the first manufacturer to put carbon fiber wheels as standard on a street car(GT350R). You really think they can't offer real carbon trim in a Mustang! You guys kill me. Its not like carbon fiber is unatainimum from another planet. Good lord! You may not like the look that doesn't mean its fake. All these years people have complained about how cheap the interior of the Mustang looks, now Ford offers a real carbon fiber upgrade with nice leather and you guys sound like a bunch of monkeys playing scrabble! Thank god Ford is classing up the Mustang interior keep it coming!

A new EU prototype spotted, seems like we will get some of the new rims.

But where are the promised tribar DRLs? :ninja:
Who cares about the tri-bar DRL's... They're there, can't you see them in the photo? Just unplugged I'm sure. The DRL's only look good from the sides and are so dull and dim, that it is pointless to call them DRL's.... Just about every other manufacturer that has LED DRL's are 2-3x brighter than any Fords LED DRL's. Even Hyundai and Kia have nice bright DRL's, that are actually daytime visible. Ever since the mustang got the parallel bar DRL's in 2013, they've been disappointing. No company has made any attempt to give them some brightness and daytime visibility, just silly colors, that are even more dull and dim.

And now with a dual fuel system in the gt, it'll be doubly tough to tune and a nightmare. The more I see the front end, the more I dislike it.

We are having issues with heat, gear synchro and software on the new 10 spd in the MY 18' Raptors we've sold as well. And, those same issues are occurring with the ZL1 and it's 10 spd. More gears always equal more heat, more compact, and ten times more potential problems.

Please inform yourself about the EU Mustang before posting. Until now the 6th Gen Mustang in europe has no active tribars, which really is a big Thing because they used really cheap yellow halogen bulbs in the foglight as DRL. in a 40+k€ car it's really bad. They removed the LEDs in the Tribars because they don't match european requirements. That's why a lot of people added aftermarket tribars, even though they are illegal here.
With the facelift we finally get LED DRL Tribars in the EU Mustang. And as we hear in that one video the european Mustang has brighter LEDs as DRL than the US model for these requirements.

Have you seen the Diode Dynamics DRL Tribars? They are really bright and more like real DRL :cheers:
