That wing looks very strange, but I'll reserve my judgement for tomorrow. I was also hoping for carbon fiber composite in some more interesting places.

Such as where?

Those subframes, built by BASF in conjunction with Magna, were for the Fusion (of all cars). They were never used on production cars, only a design/engineering exercise to investigate potential production. You won't see that technology on an S550.

I was just wishing we could see more applications for the tech.

Trust me, I followed that project with great interest and was rather disappointed in seeing that it wouldn't show up on the S550 chassis.

I do think there will be a multitude of minor changes that won't be spoken about tomorrow. As soon as some undercar chassis shots are available we should be able to discern what Ford has done to reduce weight wherever possible (that was also within their budget).

So what do you guys think, this thread originally leaked back in Aug with 720hp and weighing 4200+, think that’s what it’ll be, better/worse?

I think those numbers were real, but Ford is scrambling to increase the HP IMHO.

Hilariously stupid considering Ford's strategy and that sports cars/coupes are fairly high margin.

4000 non carbon 3900 carbon, 755 horsepower at least. I think closer to 767 for 100 more than the last gen. I do not think it will weigh 4200.

my exact feeling. 755 and just over 4K base and 3900 for CF package.

 

[jake_zx2]

The CF package won't shed much weight. Other than the wheels, it doesn't replace any existing parts with CF, it just adds new parts made of CF... so if anything, it would INCREASE the weight

I'm still gonna say 4000 flat. I'll be disappointed if that's true, but I think that's realistic. Oh, and 755hp

 

[Tomster]

Hmm..... I don't know and neither does anyone else here.
