Lest be honest, most Mustang platforms run for a decade at a time... the foxbody was long in the tooth, SN195, SN197... and now S550. On thing to keep in mind the CD6 Explorer has Aluminum impact beams, Magnesium front end module, Aluminum extruded engine bay rails, cast aluminum shocktowers...

It seems there are talks its based on the VW MEB platform, likely what Ford would get from the Ranger VW deal.

The explorer platform offers alot to be excited about if it was downsized to a Mustang.

That's exactly how it was described to me.

Many people are tracking as such, but not sure if it is or isn't. Would be exciting if its on the same platform as the explorer. Extruded aluminum impact beam, magnesium front end module, extruded aluminum engine bay rails, cast aluminum shock towers, lots of scalping in the body structure...

There was a very 69/70 S650 concept at one point.

A Model 3 Performance Package with Cup 2s and Randy Pobst driving ran a 1.22 something at Streets of Willow.

Carbon fenders make no sense to me from a cost to weight perspective. For the money they could sprinkle carbon elsewhere and get more for it.

No Z28 on the horizon unfortunately.

That is a teaser of the 4dr Mustang based crossover.

They are building a Mustang inspired 4dr vehicle. That doesn't mean it's the end of days for the Mustang. If anything it will help it through the times. The Mustang and automobiles in general have always adapted. There is a reason there is no Muscle cars anymore. Failure to Adapt.

As hybrids and Electrification increases the traditional face of cars will change rapidly. The ICE requires a fair amount of frontal area. Electrification affords the ability to incorporate more aero dynamic features to increase efficiency, or increase performance with more aggressive passive...

There are a series of aero/thermoaero improvements on the GT350s.

Its hard to know for sure unless someone from the Mustang team comments. However aside from the lights, most of the GT350 components from the A pillar forward are unique. It's volume hasn't exceed tool life. So from a cost perspective it absolutely makes sense. It would look odd to use the LED...

That is not a product of the Ford Motor Company. S650 will have softer lines like that Mazda Concept.

Not exactly, but similar. For instance a 911 annual volume is 10,000+ units a year. That's not high, but its not 250 units a year like the GT either. So from a tooling, production, and platform life cycle stand point, how a Porsche is designed and manufactured is very different. GT and the GTE...

I don't think there is a car on the planet that the street version is as close to the race version as the GT. It was built to be a racecar. The same team developed and built both.

What do you actually aspect? A key thing is marketing is to not target your competitors flag pole. Can Ford build a GT500 that is as light as a GT350 or GT350R? Yes. Can Ford build a GT500 that is faster than a ZL1 1LE around a given track? Yes. Can Ford build a GT500 that is faster than a ZL1...

Showing 235 for 2WD 10R80.

Its starts with a meeting and someone saying "I want to be way faster than a ZL1 around the track, and I don't want to have any of the cooling issues GM had, we had enough nonsense with the non track pack cars" - Functional Requirement 1, Be way faster than the ZL1 at X track - Functional...
