Sorry, but that looks nothing like a Mustang. LIke someone said earlier, looks more like a Vette. No thanks.Wow, you're a happy little camper, aren't you? Welcome to Mustang6g
Actually, it's very similar to S550, so I think it has a strong Mustang vide, but each to their own, eh?
The document is dated from Jun 2015. A lot has changed since then, not sure how good this information is.7th Generation Mustang (S650) Info:
"Program code for the next‐generation Mustang (S550(ng)) has been changed to S650 and the SOP has been shifted back from January 2022 to May 2020. Subsequently, the EOP for the S550 has been moved to April 2020.

Now with 50% more room for cars and coffee!!No, nothing official, but a nice render I found online
Sadly not. If you read through the 40-odd pages, you'll see the latest info put S650 as a '23MY, so revealed early 2022. I'll get excited once we start to see some mules, followed by prototypes, but we're probably still 12 months from seeing the former.
I couldn’t agree more about the V8 sound. I had a Buick Grand National for 20 years, but it’s sound was never as gratifying as was my 2012 GTCS with GT500 over axles and muffs, and now the glorious Bullitt. I’m hoping to keep this one until I can no longer drive, then give it to my son.
It was cool hearing the turbo spool up though.
Looks great, fingers crossed the revised design is like thisNo, nothing official, but a nice render I found online
I'm looking to buy a brand new Mustang GT in the next 1 or 2 months. But with the news of the 7th generation Mustang coming out in 2022, I would like to see what it would be but waiting until 2022 at this point seems like quite a while to wait to get into a Mustang. Would it be worth waiting until early 2022 to buy the 7th generation Mustang? Or just enjoy the current Mustang?
If you like your current car, I'd just wait. New design, new platform (hopefully), hopefully lighter weight, hopefully performance oriented hybrid implementation, maybe the DCT comes as an option too. Based on the current rate, I'd say it'll be something close to 500hp unless they keep it as the Gen 3 for the first two years.
Too many questions! But there is only one answer really.
You can just outright STEAL a used '15-'17 now too -- that would be more than enough to tide you over, and the most accelerated depreciation is over with on those cars, so it's not such a financial hit -- but if you want new, you want new -- and I totally get that. The feeling of ordering a new car is worth it at least once. The '18 refresh still leaves the car one of the best looking cars on the market -- but I'm not sure about the direction Ford is taking: I don't like the '18 as much as the '15, and the front of the GT500 -- while full of functional aero -- kind of ugly to me -- so I have no idea what the 7th generation car will look like, or if it will look good -- it seems like they set the bar really high for the S550, and there's not much room to improve on it. I'm trying to think back to when we first got a glimpse of what the S550 really looked like -- members like chazcron gave us an amazing preview -- it seems he's been working hard on the C8, so who knows. I don't know what you're driving now, but the S550 doesn't disappoint.
Yea I don't think I can wait until about 3 years to get into a Mustang GT. My priorities can certainly change 3 years from now, so I might as well do it while I still can, lol!If you're looking to buy now, just do it and enjoy it.
The '23MY is over 3 years away. That being said there might...........might be a refresh for the '21MY, but we know as much about that as we do the '23MY
My current car is a 2015 Subaru STI. I've had it for almost 5 years, and while I enjoyed the car I just grew tired of it and wanted to move on to something else. I've experienced V8 power before with a 2013 Camaro SS, but I've always wanted to try a Mustang GT.
Yes, you are correct! Life is too short! Might as well buy it and enjoy it while I still can!
I see your point with saving money on a used '15-'17, but I have my eyes set on a 2018+ Mustang GT because I want to get one with the A10 transmission. I have seen dealers around me that still have brand new 2018 Mustangs still sitting on their lot that are discounted, so I'll try my luck on getting one of those first.
