Sorry, but with that grille, that's certainly an electric car. We'd be lucky if it has an N/A 4 bangerThey're making a 4 door mustang to compete with the Audi A7 and Panamera.
It will also be a turbo V8.

Like the Panamera I'm sure there is going to be multiple options on what motor is in it.Sorry, but with that grille, that's certainly an electric car. We'd be lucky if it has an N/A 4 banger
I kinda see it, but at the same time, it could just be a lower hood line. I'm not too familiar with how electric motors are working or how tall they are, but I do know that the Tesla's have a lot of their weight down low. Lower hood with current height would give a similar effect from the front.Look at the roofline and how tall it is. Don't think "SUV" like an explorer, think "Crossover", like the BMW GT (a "6 series inspired crossover")

That might be true if it was a 48V Mild Hybrid, but Ford has already said that it will not be that. If you use the Fusion Hybrid as an example, that only has a 1.4kWh battery. Very small compared to the 7.6 kWh battery in the plug-in Fusion Energi or the 18.1 kWh battery in a Chevrolet Volt. But it is still MUCH larger than a car battery. This is the Fusion 1.4kWh battery.

And here's how it is packaged in the car.

Expect a similar sized battery for a Mustang hybrid.
Nope. Guarantee that. I’d bet my pink slip on it. Full disclosure....I consult independently and professionally on the topics of hybrids and electric vehicles and I also work for an automotive forecasting company. No volume manufacturer is looking at ultra caps for HEVs or BEVs.Perhaps not a battery at all, but a capacitor like used in F1 and other motorsports.
Do it! You might have fun at it. Military and power generation are probably the two best applications for hydrogen fuel cell. I “came out of retirement” for the automotive forecasting job. Having a blast!I have had my wrist twisted to come out of retirement. For Hydrogen cell conversion. For power and generation.
Bloody hell, should I go for it (my instruments are really good) or just stagnate in happy retirement. In a way I wish there was a war on.
Reduce size and weight, have 4 doors. Why don't the just build a BMW 3 series? We'll see how that works out for Ford trying to be a European sports car. The niche and attraction of the Mustang is its uniqueness, not another small light family saloon.The other part I wonder then if they're going to do a "proper" 4 door Mustang is if that will free them to make the 2 door a 2 seater coupe instead of 2+2
I think they could do a lot better on the performance side of things by focusing on it and reducing size/weight like that.
Huh? I said make a proper small and light one that goes to being a true 2 seater then have the 4 door be a bit bigger than the current car. If the Mustang is what sells, derivative vehicles are to be expected to make the most off of that investment since they've now cancelled everything else.Reduce size and weight, have 4 doors.

Good info, thank youUp until early 2016, S650 was not due until MY 2022 in 2021. This was always intended by product planners and Mulally before he stepped down. A 7-year lifecycle for all models developed under "One Ford", but under Fields some things did change and now again under Hackett.
Under Fields, the S650 was pushed forward to December 2020 SOP, for early 2021 launch as a MY 2021 car on what was "D6R".
Under Hackett, it was pushed back again to MY 2022 in calendar year 2021 and allegedly reworked. At this point, the car has been designed. As someone said in this thread, the first mules will be seen in the coming months during 2019.
The first S650 prototypes based on the final design will be seen more than a year from now and pre-production is probably way out in terms of 24 months.
