[QUOTE="AustinSN, post: 15761550, member: 159453"] Of course they are vague, we are talking about a car that's 5 years out. The tech keeps improving and weights keep dropping off of components like that. The difference in weight between the P1 and the 675LT is around 400lbs. Ford is pushing towards composite cars. You could feasibly get a Mustang down 400lbs from it's current weight with composite and aluminum. Not to mention by the time the hybrid Mustang rolls out, that tech in the P1 will be 7 years old at least. Tech increases fast when companies invest in them, especially when it comes to these astronomical dollar amounts. Also, the reason I know the V8 isn't dead is because they just put a ton of money into the current 5.0 and are building a 7L for the trucks. And another food for thought is the P1 makes like 175hp on it's electric motor, a Mustang won't need that much motor with an engine already making 460. Smaller motors, smaller batteries, smaller weights. I highly doubt the S650 comes without a V8, but who knows, that might be the last one. The next Mustang is probably going to be the stepping stone car. [/QUOTE]
