With out any real dimensions i just used a highly technical post it note. the main grill looks to be almost exactly the same size just pushed down. At first i thought the grill was smaller.
They've said the grill is supposed to be 4in wider...

And on the topic of power also, they've said it will have more hp and torque. Not that it means faster, speed is relative to the task.

Ford said they took some GT350 design cues and applied them to the 2018 facelifted model. I made a little side by side comparison between the two and I can't really see any kind of GT350 treatment. I'm a little disappointed with the new front end, I thought they were going to apply some of the sportiness of the Shelby to this new model. :(

What do you guys think?

I remember when people would say that the 15 front end looked just like the Fusion. But I think the 18 front end looks almost dead on like one.

The grill appears to not have blocked off areas like the current gen. Also, it appears to have a glossy (rather than a dull) finish.

My opinion on the whole design change is this...the original year design is the most pure and cohesive. Refreshes take the original design and change just the front/rear and they can look somewhat off. The fox mustang originally had quad headlights. Then the refresh added the smooth front headlights that did not appeal as much to me. The 94-98 model change was pure and the 1999 new edge took quite a while for me to like. It retained the rounded roof but squared off many of the body lines. In my opinion the 2018 has the same issue and part of the reason why it is so polarizing to some.
