NickF1011 Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Pretty aggressive front end sculpting. Not sure it really matches the more subtle aesthetic of the rest of the body. But hey, function over form in this case I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardJensen Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 I love the posed shots..... And the flat-plane crank. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But hey, function over form in this case I suppose. Yeah, I thought the same exact thing when I first saw the picture - Seems too much for the rest of the design to me, but I'll reserve judgment until it's revealed. So are we pretty sure at this point that there will be both a GT350 and GT500? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
traxiii Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Here are some bigger pics and maybe a few extras at mustang6g.com: GT350 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZanatWork Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 I think there's plenty of room for a GT-500 that would be a bigger engine/bigger numbers car as opposed to a more poised track car like the outgoing Boss and the Z28.Hell, the Super Snake was already getting more power than the Hellcat, I'm not concerned that Ford would have trouble breaking 707 hp...if that particular pissing match ensues.

GT350 = Replacement for Boss Laguna Seca with 550 ish HP GT500 = Bad assest production Mustang ever! (even though I still think > 700 HP is ludicrous) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardJensen Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Did you inherit BORG's x-ray vision? :D Nope. Just going by what's in the article--which I hope was just the sort of leak that Ford's test drivers were allowed to make while chatting with the spy photographer.

silvrsvt Posted July 15, 2014 Author Share Posted July 15, 2014 If there is a flat plane V8 in the car...that would basically make it a new V8? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanh Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 If there is a flat plane V8 in the car...that would basically make it a new V8? not from what I understand, its just the crank itself, and firing order differs, theres less weight, and more vibration ( probably countered by counterbalancers or maybe in the same light Ford cleverly balanced the eco 3 ) they rev faster and have a lot less inertia with a higher red line....but block etc i believe remain the same...

Anthony Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Note how the pistons fire in groups of two. Exhaust sounds a bit weird because it's only four pulses instead of eight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 (edited) Did I mention that I drove a Ferrari 458 Italia on a racetrack? It has a flat plane crank. It was pretty sweet.......

Sounds like Ford has a little more experience with a FPC than you might think. http://www.fordgaaengine.com/ Sherman tank 60 degree v8. All aluminum DOHC. Looks pretty cool. Torque monster.
