[QUOTE="SlowSVT, post: 15761527, member: 20202"] That powertrain manager was deliberately being rather vague in that assessment. To be honest I'm not sure why Ford would put an electric motor behind a V8 especially in a performance car it would complicate packaging a large V8 along with the motor, batteries and gas tank making for a very heavy car. Makes a lot more sense using a smaller 4 cylinder charge motor and using high output electric motors in a 4WD configuration would make that car launch faster than a greased rabbit out of a Teflon hat. I think the days of the V8 use in passengers cars at Ford are numbered. The fact they have equipped the Mustang with a 2.3 liter 4 is very telling. The S650 will change everything. Kalifornia is trying to pass legislation outlawing internal combustion engines by 2040 along with France and China. No car company wants to be caught napping when that happens. Only time will tell but the trend is not our friend. [/QUOTE]
