V6 versus I4 versus GT

[Dirk McGurck]

I hope 'spoiler delete' is still an option for the GT. The integrated spoiler is the sex. No need to clutter it.

Of course, we could go the Subaru route and plaster chrome badges all over.

I'm really hoping they do something special for the EB, not really interested in a sleeper, that's what debadging is for. I think they need to carry over the ST badging, grille, and most importantly, that trapezoidal center exhaust! Maybe give it a special spoiler too.

Think of the starting price for an EB4 if it was that different from the base.

Thanks. Seems odd that the 19's go with the PP while the 20's are standard. Weird.

No, 20s are optional - I believe 18s are standard on the GT.

Ok, add a EB4 Premium like they do for the V6 and the GT.

So the EB4 ended up getting no special badging. I knew it wouldnt be any SVO remake but I thought for sure they would give it something to distinguish from the V6.

Ford has said they are still in the process of deciding badging for the car. The EB4 could get a special name, we won't know 'til later.

Confirmed by J. Mays, via Autoblog:

"But unlike other models in the Ford range, Mays confirmed that the Mustang will not have specific EcoBoost badging."

Confirmed:

"...the GT also comes with a lip spoiler atop the car body's trunk bustle, with a delete option if you want the V-8 without the kid-racer look."

To the aftermarkets then!

That's ok, because I already schemed up my own custom badging in my head.

Yeah I am coming from an 2011 F150 and a lot of us who had the ecoboost upgrade to something like this

But to keep the agressiveness of the car I would go with something like this if anything I usually debage:

 

[gojensen]

Oh god no please... no ecoboost on my Mustang. It's not like it's good for the environment anyways (and would look way too much like Kia's eco-something)

An interview with the design team: Here

I don't think anyone has pointed this out yet;

"The car retains some of its classic signature design elements—the tribar taillights, the new LED fins in the front lights (only on the GT edition) a nod to the fins in the first model, the grill, but it isn’t saddled by them."

 

[StangFX]

Have they even showed the V6 yet? If not I will assume it is identical to the 4cyl.

What the?!! I _hate_ when car companies ties stylistic queues to engine choices... :( (and here's hoping for something entirely different in Europe as for many countries the GT won't be economically feasible at all...)

I want a GT, but failing that due to insane taxation I want the coolest Mustang there is :rant:

I went back and re read the whole deal. It does say that. The fact that they are shown on a lot of non GT pictures leads me to believe they will be part of the up grade package for the turbo.
