2015 Mustang GT350 Spied With Less Camo

[Twin Turbo]

Topnotch, is this from an Original GT350?

I think Toptease......I mean Topnotch......is flexing his considerable Photoshop skills.......as that's a nice play on the "Mustang since 1964" badge seen on the S550 dash

Remember the 1995 Mustang GTS:

Maybe we will see a 1968 gt500kr inspired front?

Why does the hood scoop point to FI?

Agreed Jess, it was just a reprint of an assumption the photographer made. By all accounts this should be NA, in line with the GT350 heritage.

Rest assured however, there will be a FI variant. Look for it in year 3.

That's unusually candid. I like that style

I believe there will be a GT350 and a GT350R.


I would like to see a Street Fighter (Base model) GT350 that does not carry any bad equipment. The "R" could assume the "Carbon" position within Mustang.

I would be happy with a Street Fighter GT350 for $45,000. It would solve the GT or GT350 dilemma. I could see a OEM GT350R being $10-15k over the GT350.


I say...

2015 GT350 (Street Fighter) $47,998
2015 GT350.R $57,998 (Undercut the Z51 Stingray)
2015 GT350.R1 $90-130,000 (Spec'd from R1 and up) 65 per year
2015 GT350 50th Anniversary CONVERTIBLE ($65,417) 1965 total production. Include the roll bar please!! This will be a separate GT350 anniversary model. Different than the 50th cars.

I think you are a tad too GT350 crazy...


Base GT350 will come with Street Fighter mentality... it is a GT350!!

A GT350.R is quite possible, but not at a $15k premium, more like $6K. Anything more.. would fall under the GT500.

That makes sense.
1965-2015 = gt350 50 yr
1967-2017 = gt500 50 yr

I'm guessing the next FI GT500 car will be coyote based DI, and possibly TT. It seems veeeery early to expect any sort of prototype GT500 engines to be out for any sort of road testing when they have their hands full as it is.

As far as GT350 models, I would think there may be a race-only R, but otherwise I hope they would stick with options… like the ceramic brakes, a luxury package, , carbon body parts, rear seat delete etc. It would be a good way to let some customers keep costs down and class-legal by not checking the ceramic brake option box etc. Maybe have a 45-60k price range from base (boss 302 level) to fully optioned (z28 killer with the tech goodies).
I am very curious to see what they do for a transmission (8k+ shifting) and springs/dampers.

I have a hard time believing a GT350 coming in at $45K when a loaded GT is pricing that right now on Ford's website. Maybe $55K - $65K is closer to reality.

Whaaat?

A base GT is $31,300 dude... loading it up means nothing, that is it's base price. The base on a GT350 will probably be around $44k..

I keep telling myself, "You have a nice track oriented Mustang already, you don't need a G.T.350".





It ain't working. I'm going to be broke for a long time as I really don't want to part with my Boss, so I'll just have to add to the "stable".

I hear you, and share your pain.

 

[Dirk McGurck]

Please just give me a higher-revving, normally aspirated V8, quality two piece brake rotors (iron disks is OK), keep the back seat (otherwise I might as well get the Vette), good suspension tuning, and a little weight savings.

Basically like the Boss302.

I'd be very excited about that.

Forced Induction not so much.

This.

Might not even be a scoop just vent, looks to me like one of those white styrofoam blocks they use to support the camo behind that mesh on top of the hood.

You could be right, the vent may be there to throw everyone off. The hood does look to be a little higher in the center where the camo isn't covering and doesn't have the ridge lines of the prototypes they have been showing.

We know they've been padding the body beneath the camo to break up the lines and give absolutely nothing away.

Is this confirmed? or are you speculating? Not sure about this one.....

Keep in mind that $44K is the price of a base Boss.. A Laguna Seca tops out at just under $50K. Considering the amount of new content (See: an entirely new chassis, body, etc.), I would be surprised if the base Hi-Po S550 was under $55K. MINIMUM.
