Saw some chassis images this morning.
Yeah it’s nothing like a mustang underneath. Engine way hack, inboard suspension, the car is wicked badass. Boomers will still whine about it. |

They are hoping with the new center of gravity and not being as front heavy with better weight distribute, crowds at cars and coffee exits will be in less danger.

Quote HistoryQuoted: So now the Mustang is a 'brand' and not a model?  They're doing their best to stretch the Mustang nameplate into oblivion, which is something usually reserved for GM. That has been the plan since the mach E . Mustang is a brand , same as Bronco. |

Quoted: The Ford Mustang lineup has never been stronger, as the recent motorsports push through special variants like the Mustang Dark Horse R has demonstrated.

Quote HistoryQuoted: It seems like a really capable car and I am glad Ford can be bothered to build it. But I can't even pretend to get excited for a $300k Mustang that is probably only getting sold to hand picked individuals like they did with the last Ford GT. It's a "racecar for the street" that I will never see on the street.. lol Just another limited supply car that will be bought by youtubers then flipped for profit when they are ready for the next new thing.

I'm actually pretty impressed with what Ford's doing with the Mustangs. They're building a GT3 racer, a GT4 racer, the GTD, a Darkhorse R spec racer, a Darkhorse track-day car, a Darkhorse production model, and of course GTs of various flavors. I'm glad to see it, and this coming from a guy with multiple Corvettes and Camaros and absolutely no Fords in the family stable.
I guess this is what happens when the CEO races cars on the weekends. https://www.roadandtrack.com/car-culture/a42579850/ford-ceo-jim-farley-on-turning-pro-in-a-race-car/ |

When I first saw the pic I was wondering why Ford was making a new GTO
It was interesting to look at but I know I am nowhere near their target audience. Last bought a new car 31 years ago. Trucks ever since. Maybe some rental place will pick them up. |

Just watched a few videos on this. Holy fuck it's incredible.
It's not really a Mustang. It's a supercar with a carbon fiber Mustang shell. They are gunning for a new record on the Nurburgring. There is a Bronco Raptor sitting at the local Ford dealer for $103k. If this is 3x that, it is a bargain. Especially considering that it will appreciate. Ford GTs were like $700k. |

if it's a sub six minute ring car they should have put a different carbon fiber shell on it. The mustang brand doesn't fit. I guess they don't have too many options though, can't re-invent the GT again already.
