I don't think it's light enough to have a 4.4 litre? I'll stick with 5.2.
No Trinity means Ecoboost, which will be ready by the time SVT is offered overseas.
There's MRC in the pipeline.
Asking what FPC is could mean there is no FPC?
And now the part that took me the longest to work out. A/C standard indicates there will be A/C as standard.
Ok, jokes aside. This could mean they'll move away from the no frills approach and equip it with a sports/luxury interior. It could add weight but by doing so it could cater for a broader demographic.
I'll have a shot at reading between the lines.A few basic facts.
No more Trinity.
SVT is US only for now.
Very high tech suspension.
It will have a/c standard
What is a FPC.
This is a prototype.

My thoughts embedded in your post.....based purely on reading the thoughts and comments of those that seem closest to the programme on here

That would require a major reworking of the platform.

That is some great work but the front and rear of the car look identical to the regular production cars. Team Mustang guys have gone on record saying the Hi-Po model was the most radical departure in style from the regular cars that they've ever done.

really when did they say that and where, might need to look at that and get some ideas.
I love the wheels...........similar to the Rocket Racing version
I do agree, I'm expecting to see a very different front facia.........but the camo gives us NOTHING to go on.
I just wish I knew when we'll see it for real!

It is showing a 6 spd manual. If it does come out next year as we have heard, I wonder if this could indicate that Ford is not planning to upgrade the transmission until a few years out. 7spd manual in 2017 maybe?

If it's not a 7-speed it isn't an upgrade? That doesn't make any sense to me.
