2024 Ford Mustang Prototype Spotted With Weird Center-Exit Exhaust!
Could this be the first S650 Shelby model?
BY BRIAN SILVESTRO APR 14, 2023
www.roadandtrack.com
"It's only been seven months since Ford revealed the 2024 Mustang, but it seems the Blue Oval is already working on an even higher-performance model.
Spy photographers caught this all-black 2024 Ford Mustang coupe testing in Michigan, giving us our very first look at what could be a trim to sit above the 500-hp Dark Horse. The front fascia and rear decklid are wearing camouflage, but the real point of interest sits at the lower portion of the bumper. Underneath the reverse light sits a center-mounted dual exhaust shrouded by a mesh box.
There's no telling what sort of powertrain could lie under the hood of this Mustang, though our spy photographers suggest it could be an early test mule for a Shelby variant. The first performance variant to appear above the GT in the last-generation Mustang was the Shelby GT350, so repeating the timeline with this latest generation makes sense.
Another guess floated by our spy shooters and the folks at FordAuthority is that this could be a mule of the road-legal version of the GT3 race car that Ford CEO Jim Farley teased in March.
It's unclear this time whether Ford will go with another flat-plane crank V-8 like the one found in the GT350, a supercharged V-8 like the engine in the GT500, or something entirely new. If this is indeed the street-legal GT3-based trim, the car could get some form of the race-ready 5.4-liter V-8. Additionally, there might not even be a Shelby model for the S650—we just don't have enough info yet. We'll have to wait and see."

For this model incarnation I'll let you know. But I know enough about Corvettes!

So glad you shared this. Now I individually believe that's an engine and exhaust noise I absolutely Love it! I spent a little time with the "S650" range and I'm beginning to understand the models.
@martinbo you'll not, I believe get much better than this other than Italian (German) V10's and V12's.

Erm, if you’re basing your opinion only on the vid you quoted in your post then, sorry but I think it sounds good but not great, with undertones of gurgling flatulence.@martinbo you'll not, I believe get much better than this other than Italian (German) V10's and V12's.
Any one of the current crop of Porsche NA flat sixes easily bests this for pitch and range. Heck, I reckon BMW’s S58 sounds better, despite being turbocharged. Ferrari’s V6 in the 296 is a revelation. And back on home soil, the flat-plane crank V8 thumps it too.
So, no, it’s easily beaten.

Very interesting. I don't believe I've come across RTR before. Something to explore!
But obviously I've been very taken with the 2024 model. 500hp but naturally aspirated and a manual transmission! It'll be practical enough too and should be fairly reliable with decent build quality and servicing should be cost conscious.
Wait, that sounds like a Ford commercial!

So somehow I've missed this. But it looks like an S650 dyno run plus possibly, I think I saw some 1/4 mile figures? I can't tell on my phone? I'll check later.
