Spied: 2018 Mustang Prototype with Active Quad Exhaust

[Twin Turbo]

The quad will be an option when you purchase it. It's not going to be on all the models.

Wonder if it'll be for the GT/V8 models only. It's be another good differentiator from the Ecoboost/V6.

Yes please GT/V8 only!

Also something in the front needs to differentiate the GT from the ECO/V6, just like the fog lights in the grille from the 05-14 did. Right now i can't tell if it's a GT driving towards me unless i see the 5.0 badge or i'm close enough to see the fangs on the grille.

Nothing an active exhaust can't fix.

Looks like Bullit wheels. They're putting all of this on a convertible to either throw you off the scent. Or b/c they'll be convertible and couple Bullits.

Like I said...it could be they're just testing the wheels and they just so happen to bolt them onto a convert.

 

[Bullitt]

Aside from what 1320' said, the only way these wheels end up being offered on a convertible is if they do a "Bullitt Appearance Package" instead of an actual Bullitt or in addition to the actual Bullitt (similar to how they did a 50th LE car along with a 50th appearance package available on standard GTs and EBs). That's all assuming these are in fact Bullitt wheels

'18 is looking like a pretty big upgrade I can't wait.

10 speed auto
quad active exhaust
PFI/DI Coyote?

If that is the GT it raises the bar for a Mach 1 (IF that's in the cards). I would think it needs a 5.2 CPC and beefed up suspension to set it apart.

here here!

On another note, the vertical bar in the lower grill opening looks like a total fakeout in these pictures, there is no substance behind it...

TopNotch said not in LA next month. They could surprise us but it's looking like Detroit in January now at least for the standard 2018 Mustangs.

I'll point out again that the size/general construction & design of the muffler body is totally different from the '15-17, regardless of quad tips. Looks like a new supplier.

what ever type exhaust it has, it better have 475hp or so, tired of the Camaro fan boys always having the upper hand
