OK, a bit of fun. You've accepted the job of Top Dog at Team Mustang. You're in charge of product planning for the next few years. Times are good and budgets are big! Lets see your plans for the next couple of years :)

'16MY
GT350 introduced - 525hp from a FPC 5.2 V8 (also available as a GT350R with rear seat delete, carbon fibre wheels)

California Special introduced for the GT, with lightly revised front and rear fascias, new interior trim and unique 19" wheels.

PP available on the automatic GT!


'17MY
Mach 1 reintroduced - DI 5.0 with 475hp, 10-speed auto/paddle shifters, revised front and rear fascias, Premium Plus interior with full leather extending to doors and dash, 20" wheels and Perf Pack as standard.


'18MY
Complete styling refresh across the range - revised headlamps (LED turn signals now incorporated into the headlamp assembly) & tail lamps, revised grille/bumper/fascia.......more differences between Ecoboost, V6, GT. Revised interior with another bump up in quality & tech.

GT uses a 460hp/430lb ft version of the new DI 5.0 (10-speed now standard autobox across the range)

Mach 1 still uses a 475hp DI V8 with Perf Pack as standard (either 6sp manual or 10sp auto/paddle shifters) . Features revised front/rear fascias, and Premium Plus interior with full leather extending to doors and dash.

Ecoboost 4 now up to 325hp (new base trim available to appeal to rental fleet)

Ecoboost 6 - V6 changed to a 2.7 "Nano" Ecoboost V6 with 385hp (the V6 is no longer the entry level model)

GT350 continues with the new sheet metal changes, but sticks with the 525hp FPC Voodoo.

GT500 introduced with a 675hp supercharged version of the 5.2 Voodoo engine, but with a cross plane crank. Slight wider front and rear fenders and 20" wheels as standard. Features a similar Premium Plus interior as the Mach 1 with full leather extending to doors and dash. Available with either 6sp manual or 10sp auto/paddle shifters


C'mon Ford, 'gis a job :ford:

Unless Ford Drops the 5.0 from the lineup ... I don't see a V6 ecoboost coming this generation. Not saying there won't be one in time, but the added cost to even get in the Eco 6 is not something the mustang needs right now. Right now a loaded GT sits at 42k.. If they did release an Eco six it would be near 50k or even more. I'm sorry, but I'm not paying that kind of money unless an Eco 6 is coming with forged internals and then engine/drivetrain is good for 800 Whp..

SVO - EB V6, 2.9L "Nano" @ 400ft-lbs, CF shaft.
-Mach 2 - Direct Injected 5.0 @ 475hp, 10-speed auto, special front and rear fascia, Premium Plus interior with full leather extending to doors and dash & PP standard.

Both the Mach and SVO share premium & options, just different engines.

sounds good to me but hopefully they make the GT500 708+ hp. Obviously they dont need that much power to beat the hellcat but we cant have the dodge guys rubbing that 707 hp in our faces.

OK, GT500 comes with 675 as standard, but there's a 708hp "Kitty Licker" option :D

Lets not forget about the SuperSnake^... or when released in Germany as the UberSnake...


Also, with the SVO, I hope Ford goes after the M4 with a 2.9 liter EB.

Wait for Focus RS, in the words of Joe Heinrichs "it's going to be borderline dangerous." And that's coming from a man that owns a Ford GT.
