Yeah, having a unique frontend for the Mach 1 seems not reasonable. And we already saw a prototype that seemed to be the Mach 1 with all the added shelby parts and PP2 parts and the other frontend with the moved turnsignal unit.I have a feeling that, yes, the front end on this old Bullitt prototype will be shared across the non-Shelby line-up (Ecoboost/GT/Mach 1).
During the S550 run so far, the only models to get unique front and rear ends are the Shelby ones.
It'd be cool if the Mach 1 had a unique front end, but that seems extravagant for what will likely be a 2 model year run (given the most recent news that S650 is coming for the '23MY).
I wonder how long we have to wait. The first '20MY S550 was revealed around Mustang's birthday last year (April 17th) when they showed the new Ecoboost Hi-Performance model. Hopefully we'll get an introduction to Mach 1 in April of this year.
Maybe the prototype we see here is the expected Hybrid model. With the new Focus RS becoming a hybrid and the Mustang hybrid most likely share the same engine, what we see here could be a "Mustang RS" or "Mustang ST" that then features the same design language that we see on other Ford ST/RS models.
Especially in europe Ford will have a really hard time to reach the EU Co² fleet values if they don't offer a Hybrid Mustang. The silver 10Y wheels that are offered in Europe since the 6th gen launched underscore a model that will come to Europe too.
