The 2022 S650 Mustang

[VoodooBoss]

As we anxiously await the debut of the next GT500 later this month at the Detroit Auto Show there's another Mustang on the horizon and it's the S650 or seventh generation Mustang. It will report-ably ride on the new CD6 platform, which will be shared by other Ford cars, and could potentially be offered in AWD.

What would you like to see on the new platform?
AWD?
TT V6?
True DCT?
More Power?
Plug-In EV?

Here's a few links with some speculation:

Hmmm, I think I’d like a 600+HP TT and true DCT.

Whatever it will be it will be a hit...as long as it has a loud V8 growl..............

 

[TymeSlayer]

Isn't it tyme they bring back the Boss 429?

 

[TMSBOSS]

Yes but, what 429?

HP? Too little
CI? Maybe, 7 liters from a Coyote would be a stretch.

 

[Coz]

They can just reverse the numbers for a more appropriate HP...

 

[TymeSlayer]

In '69 they rated the Boss 429 at 375HP (Yeah, right!)
Maybe some variant of this 7 liter V8?

Me.... I would love to see the mustang with a bullet proof manual and 500lbs lighter.... with a V8 naturally..... ") Time for a Alloy Mustang!

Can you imagine a Mustang weighing 3000lbs with 500 n/a hp?? What! Would be a car too put on the must have list...

 

[Bill Pemberton]

Lose the weight ......I am on your page Mad!!!

 

[302BOB]

Imagine a 429 with today's technology.....WOW!!!!!

 

[Grant 302]

Isn't it tyme they bring back the Boss 429?

I was hoping for it in 2014...Like a tall deck coyote variant.

 

[TMSBOSS]

Aluminum is not the much of a stretch.
The Boss would definately have a garage mate if that happens.
Bullit proof manual. Dreamer.

 

[Bill Pemberton]

Not really much of a Dreamer TM, Tremec T6060 is definitely strong enough , with all the Vipers and Corvettes and Super Snakes it went into!!

 

[ArizonaBOSS]

Too early to tell. We were also told that the S550 would be lighter and leaner than the S197 at this stage in the game, and we all know how that turned out.

I think this refresh is more about cost control and meeting tightening government requirements, I don’t think we will see much innovation on the performance side of things as much as refinement of the manufacturing techniques and connectivity.

I also have heard rumblings of a smaller more efficient engine supplanting the coyote family. I think we might get one more v8 as a swan song in a mainline variant.

It'll have to be a marvel of engineering to try and please everyone who wants such diverse things as cooling for a high output V8 to providing the framework for Battery Electric.

 

[The_Dead_Cow]

Sub 3000#, RWD, high output ecoboost V6, no mcstruts

 

[VoodooBoss]

I'd like to see them clean up the rear suspension design. My understanding is there are some design flaws in it that make it difficult to adjust. Dropping some weight from the design would be a bonus.

Build what the should have in 1965, 427 SOHC, Aluminum block variant of the current 6.2L truck engine and drop some weight. SLA front suspension.(I hate struts). Still build all the other models so we can make this affordable.
