Mustang News

Paint suppliers have now received color data for 2021 Ford models and we’ve discovered the list of 2021 Mustang colors that are planned for the expected mid-cycle refresh of the S550.

The list of Mustang colors are listed on Automotive Touchup and show several new colors including, Antimatter Blue Metallic, Yellow Peel, Fighter Jet Gray, Carbonized Gray Metallic and Lucid Red Pearl. It should be noted that several of the colors will be shared with the Mach-E Mustang and it remains unclear which variants (base, GT350, GT500, possibly Mach 1) in the Mustang lineup will receive the new color options.

The first trailer for the upcoming Fast and Furious 9 shows that the S550 Mustang takes center stage for some of the most action packed scenes in the movie.

The movie trailer shows FF9 stars Vin Diesel and John Cena battling it out in two American muscle cars, with Cena driving a modified 2015-17 Mustang GT which quite literally, flies in a few explosive scenes.

Our photographers just caught a new camouflaged Mustang prototype that may be our first look at a 2021 Mustang GT refresh!

The latest prototype has the face of the earlier prototype —showing us the general face of the 2021 Mustang. The fascia-mounted light strips have been moved to a higher position on the front bumper, closer to the headlights. The outer air intakes are covered in camouflage, but it’s clear that they have been reshaped.

The prototype pictured here has what appears to be the Mustang GT grille but it is rocking a single-tipped dual exhaust setup, instead of the GT’s quad-tipped set-up. The entire rear is once again, completely covered in camo wrap, and looks to obscure an all-new rear lip spoiler. The headlights and tail-lights have been unchanged, suggesting that the changes won’t extend to the lighting.

The 2020 Shelby GT500 has been showing it is a seriously impressive drag car and its proving it against the heavy hitters on the drag strip.

How’s this for a great driver’s car! The GT350 nearly took the win in Motortrend’s Best Driver’s Car competition, taking second only to the Porsche 911. In placing second, the GT350 was placed above some impressive competitors — M2 Competition, Jaguar XE SV Project 8, McLaren Senna, Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S, Aston Martin DBS Superleggera, Bentley Continental GT V8, Lamborghini Urus, M850i xDrive Coupe, Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye, Toyota Supra.

The S65o Mustang will be launching in 2022 as a 2023 model year, according to a Linkedin job listing posted by Ford just 3 weeks ago!

The job listing for a “Wind/Road Noise and Air Leakage Plant Vehicle Team (PVT) Engineer” for Ford Motor Company indicates the position will involve work on the current S550 Mustang in addition to being “the final sign off on the Ford 2023 Mustang S650 vehicle program before it goes to the customers.”

It goes on to reveal that the “S650 launches in 2022 as a 2023MY” so we are only a couple years away from production of the next generation pony.

A Ford Mach-E engineer just conducted a fascinating Q&A session chock full of revealing behind-the-scenes info, not just about the Mach-E Mustang and how it has impressed and thrilled even the most hardened Ford vehicle test drivers, but also that it is keeping the next-generation internal combustion-engined Mustang S750 program alive while its competitors like the Chevrolet Camaro will soon be discontinued.

The Ford engineer also dished on how the Mach-E targeted performance first, why Ford builds better cars than Tesla, and how the Mustang Mach-E’s performance is so good it even “scares [Ford’s] vehicle test drivers… [who] drive GT350’s on the regular.”

For Motortrend’s Best Driver’s Car 2019 Competition, they’ve changed up the format and instead of showing one hot lap at a time, they’re featuring two hot laps in a head-to-head format. In this showdown, they pit the 2019 GT350 against the 911 Carrera S.

Watch the head-to-head hot laps inside.

The guys from Throttle House team up with Jason Camissa and Randy Pobst to compare the 2020 GT500, Camaro ZL1 (and 1LE) and Challenger Hellcat Redeye on the road and on the track in various races – drag race, roll race, and a lap around Willow Springs.

A “stock power” GT500 runs 10.55s @ 134 MPH in this set of drag races against the BMW M8 Competition. Whether a resonator delete and seat removal makes for a “stock” GT500 is up for interpretation, but at the very least these drag times provide even more data points.
