I'm thinking they simply won't electrify the 500 after 1-2 years of production, burning the initial buyers. So if it's not on this then I can't see it happening until the next one comes along in 2025/6. Obviously the Mach1 is where we'd see such tech in S650.

Not even Ford is sure what is happening on this front. The initial news that broke was it was an SUV via Mike Levine. Turned out to be a toe in the water exercise to see peoples' reactions. What I saw were two cars going into a factory that was getting electrocuted by lightning. Both those cars are based off the C/D6 platform, which is more of a modular platform. The point is they're flexible enough to do whatever they want.
The other interpretation of that promo is if they produce something like SUV/Coupe, ala BMW X6. This would also be a great move. Hackett isn't the only one thinking like this - Mercedes of also just announced they will further increase their SUV range.

The Mustang is running under the “S-based” Platform while the current Explorer is a under a “D3-based” platform.... so nope, nothing between the two (unless you mean the NEW models under the CD6).
Sadly that’s what they are planning (a crossover based on the mustang)

Yeah referring to next gen, due within a few years.
I don't see a negative in that when it could turn out to be a success and help justify that platform's future feasibility, which the Mustang is based off.Nameless said:

I'm wondering how good the drag mode will be with the DCT.
that's my biggest concern.
I know it's geared to the track...but... 4100lbs... just sayin.
Sounds like Chevy may go the drag pack route, maybe sooner than later and Dodge boys are upgrading the hellcat for '19 with more HP and a few demon traits.
gonna be interesting to see how ford stacks up in the pile of options from the big 3...and that ME vette, that's the one that gets my juices flowing. next year can't come soon enough.

If it’s anything like the drag mode on the 10R80 it’s going to be bad ass.

Figures.......Ford had a Great chance to offer a "Drag Pack" with the S197's last model year run.
Should've debuted the S550 with this option.
Still should offer this option. :ford:
