FWIW,

Ford sued Ferrari because they code named their newest F1 car the F150

Part of me wonders if this was clever sabotage by Mercedes, because they know Ford is trying to do a worldwide launch which means they want to penetrate european markets. But now, when people google S550 mercedes will come up too. Almost like "search hijack".

And yes, I know one is a chassis and one is a car model, but its still an unlikely coincidence.

S550=

S= Platform/Model type
550= program number

Ford never ever advertised/marketed the 2015 Mustang as the "S550."

The MB S550 name has been around far before the "S550" name used for the '15 Mustang.

Thank you, this was beginning to seem like a Camaro forum with the amount of ignorance in this thread. Camaro guys act as if they were the first for everything and Ford is the one copying.

You think that version of the S550 is beautiful? in the eye of the beholder indeed.

My stance on this is the same as black92 though...
