I'm assuming there's no chance of this engine appearing in a SE version of the '22MY Mustang?
-
Not true. They have been building them for some time now. Even a few RHD Bullitt variants.
Yep.....they're starting to trickle over here in the UK

Very, very impressed.....this thing looks fantastic. Hints of Range Rover in the side and rear, but that's no bad thing. Overall, 9/10 from me
(oh, and I see this as being very significant, as I want to learn as much as possible about CD6 and what it means for the next gen ('22MY??) Mustang)

No specifics, but I can't recall the last time Ford publicly discussed their individual platforms/architectures!
Ford’s five flexible vehicle architectures – body-on-frame, front-wheel-drive unibody, rear-wheel-drive unibody, commercial van unibody and BEV – are paired with module “families” that address the power pack, electrical pack and vehicle configurations. Seventy percent of each vehicle’s engineering will be driven from this new architecture approach, with 30 percent of content – including grilles, hoods, doors and more – customized for each vehicle.

I have not been following this thread but how far back was the last mention of a Mustang?
I keep checking in for more '21/'22MY Mustang news........but at least the off-topic chat is interesting :D

Explorer, Aviator, Mustang, Lincoln stuff
Just so long as they get Mustang right......
Whilst I say that in jest, Mustang is obviously the enthusiasts car out of that lot and owners a vocal in the extreme. Ford messes with Mustang at their peril. I appreciate in terms of sales, Mustang is less important, but its still an important vehicle in terms of the halo-effect.
Out of interest, when would you say development of the Mustang/CD6 started? And I'm still hoping it arrives for the '21MY.....

Hi all
Newbie here with my first post! "The next Mustang" is one of my favourite subjects (well, anything Mustang related automatically attracts my attention!) and I saw the "Linkedin" post on Mustang6G, so had to come here to investigate more!
The idea of a flexible platform excites me, well it does if its done well, and potentially bodes well for the next-gen Mustang.
Certainly the "killing" of S650, as was reported a few months back, had me slightly worried, but only in as much as it meant the search was on for more information as to when we'd see the next-gen Mustang, and what would underpin it. My assumption was that S650, by very nature of it being closely named to S550, would be a heavy refresh of that architecture. So, seeing this thread here makes me sigh with relief, especially if the timescales for the new car haven't moved that much.
So, thanks to everyone that's input to this thread, it makes great reading. One thing I don't think's been challenged though IS the timescale. As far as I could tell, S650 was mooted for the '21MY....and it appears a CD6-based Mustang would be here for the same model year. My assumption is "swapping platforms" this early in its gestation hasn't impacted those delivery timescales too much?
If the '21MY is the goal, I also assume we'd expect to see early prototypes hit the roads around this time next year?
A new thread appeared on Mustang6G a week or so ago with someone claiming the next-gen Mustang had been pushed back to 2025/2026. This was little more than "my friend who works at Flat Rock was told in a meeting that....." and I've not seen this posted anywhere else. I'm hoping there's no truth to this, as the '26MY seems a LONG way away and, as good as S550 is, it'll be pretty old by then and, likely, outpaced by the opposition.
Anyway, enough rambling from me....it's good to be here and I look forward to more insights from you gentlemen

Interesting Anecdote from Development Team for Mach 1
in Ford Motor Company Discussion Forum
Posted
A BEV SUV really doesn't appeal to me. I'm happy Ford are making one (I know its the future) but I do NOT like the references to the Mustang or Mach 1. A new Mach 1 should be a 5.2 CPC V8 with the option of the 10-speed auto. It would fit between the GT PP2 and the GT500. Give it 530hp/450 lb ft.
THAT is along the lines of what Team GT would have done
