2016 Mustang Order Banks are visible now (but ordering & pricing isn't available yet). Here's just a couple of tidbits that I don't think we knew about before now....
  • California Special returns as an option on GT models.
  • Black painted roof is an option on GT models.
  • New interior color (leather and Recaros) called "yellow jacket."
  • Some sort of accent stripes available on GT's.
No, I don't have any details on these items. Yes, I trust somebody will chime in to add to these findings.

Yellow jacket sounds very interesting. Don't want it to look like a banana exploded in the car.

Always been a fan of the California special. Damnit.. Hopefully it's not too long before pictures are released to see if it's worth holding out for.

So, the first phase of my plan is coming together :ford:

OK, a bit of fun. You've accepted the job of Top Dog at Team Mustang. You're in charge of product planning for the next few years. Times are good and budgets are big! Lets see your plans for the next couple of years :)

'16MY
GT350 introduced - 525hp from a FPC 5.2 V8 (also available as a GT350R with rear seat delete, carbon fibre wheels)

California Special introduced for the GT, with lightly revised front and rear fascias, new interior trim and unique 19" wheels.

PP available on the automatic GT!


'17MY
Mach 1 reintroduced - DI 5.0 with 475hp, 10-speed auto/paddle shifters, revised front and rear fascias, Premium Plus interior with full leather extending to doors and dash, 20" wheels and Perf Pack as standard.


'18MY
Complete styling refresh across the range - revised headlamps (LED turn signals now incorporated into the headlamp assembly) & tail lamps, revised grille/bumper/fascia.......more differences between Ecoboost, V6, GT. Revised interior with another bump up in quality & tech.

GT uses a 460hp/430lb ft version of the new DI 5.0 (10-speed now standard autobox across the range)

Mach 1 still uses a 475hp DI V8 with Perf Pack as standard (either 6sp manual or 10sp auto/paddle shifters) . Features revised front/rear fascias, and Premium Plus interior with full leather extending to doors and dash.

Ecoboost 4 now up to 325hp (new base trim available to appeal to rental fleet)

Ecoboost 6 - V6 changed to a 2.7 "Nano" Ecoboost V6 with 385hp (the V6 is no longer the entry level model)

GT350 continues with the new sheet metal changes, but sticks with the 525hp FPC Voodoo.

GT500 introduced with a 675hp supercharged version of the 5.2 Voodoo engine, but with a cross plane crank. Slight wider front and rear fenders and 20" wheels as standard. Features a similar Premium Plus interior as the Mach 1 with full leather extending to doors and dash. Available with either 6sp manual or 10sp auto/paddle shifters


C'mon Ford, 'gis a job :ford:

If the Mach 1 is announced for 17, would it be eligible for x plan?

Hmm wonder what this is going to encompass on the GT.

Wonder if any packages are changing or wheel options.

I recently found out that the new Camaro is getting magnetic suspension as an option. That's gonna be huge. For the Corvette, it's "only" an $1800 option, so it's definitely affordable.
