Just got wind from an inside contact that :
Ecoboost - electric motors feeding front and rear (4wd) engine only powers rear
Sounds impressive and that's the sort of hybrid-tech I'd welcome in the Mustang. I wouldn't expect this until the '20MY at the earliest though.
GT - V8 Turbo
I'd welcome a 4 litre twin turbo V8. Again, haven't heard a sniff of anything post Coyote, so at least '20MY before we'd see this.
V6 no longer RIP
Normally aspirated V6? Wouldn't surprise me. I'd love to see the 2.7 Ecoboost 6 make an appearance though. Again, not before '20MY though, I suspect.
Aluminium everywhere! Light! (Subframe suspension etc)
Interior - heads up display as standard, leather dash and doors, etc
The aluminium.....I'd like to see this for the '18MY refresh. I suspect we might get some for the '18MY, then lots more with the more intense refresh for '20MY. Leather dash n doors.....bring it on ASAP!
Price won't change
Hmm, it tends to go up a little each year, so I'd be surprised to see it stay static. As long as it stay similar, that'd be cool. Also, with the global sales Mustang now enjoys, economies of scale start to come into play nicely
If you can pin your contact down for more info (especially with regards timescales) that'd be appreciated!
Electric motor is interesting.
The real question is will rear carpets be standard?
Some interesting information that you have shared there. Will be curious to see how much of it comes to fruition:ford:
Interesting. How confident are you in your contact? I could see realistically getting the Eco to that weight, and maybe the GT just under 3500lbs. I will gladly take a ~3200lbs GT though!
