I would love you to be right. Don't have any clue if this is correct or not, but would be awesome!
Upcoming timeframe on the next GT500 and speculation
- Thread starter SkillmanPerformance
- Start date
I honestly have no reason to not believe what I've been told isn't fact given my source.

Okay, wish they would hurry up and unveil it!
No, I mean the current 5.0 302 ci (4949 cc) coyote engine.

4.8 appears not to be a real thing.
The screen shots of the dash show 289 on the bottom right of the screen. I hope this is true. The new ZL1 is one fast ride !!!
Where's Jamal Hameedi when u need him !! Sorry for the spelling......

So based on the 'clues' on the cluster it runs an 11.17 maybe?
289 was listed on the dash as it's the original motor in the also mentioned 1964.5 mustang. I would tend to believe the 11.17 is date in showroom.
So why did 13/14 GT500s were done if in '15 a redesign was done. Why build 03/04 Cobras when in 05 a redesign was due and it's design started years ago.
Remember, you are thinking of 2018 now, car manufacturers think of 2018 years ago.
Why are you asking me? If you want definitive answers, inquire with Ford what their strategic plans were for the S197 cars, and perhaps they can provide you some factual information. My post is called speculation. Get it?
The 2013/2014 GT500's were in a long line of GT500 production beginning in 2007, with a gap of GT500's when the S550 platform hit, making room for the GT350 in 2015. Will Ford push out a GT500 model for 2018/2019 MY's when not producing any for the previous S550 lineup? Your guess is as good as mine. What happens with the 2020 refresh? Will Ford cut off the GT500 production, or will they release yet another upgraded/updated GT500?
Doesn't make much sense to me going through the R&D work to release a "new" GT500 for two MY's on a platform that is on it's way out, when a completely new refresh is on it's way with hybrid technology in 2020. Again, I could be wrong but I'll stand by this theory until I see some facts released about the car. And I would love to be wrong because I will be one of the customers buying this new vehicle.

Save your pennies, it's gonna happen this year.
Limited quality you say? Or, are they building as many as they get orders for?
I've given up looking for a new GT-500. Ford has dropped the ball and let Chevy and Dodge have the market.
Umm what? why is everybody so damn impatient? Do you really think they would undercut the sales of the gt350? OF COURSE they are making a high hp halo car. Its classic ford here guys....Let the comp blow their load and step in with something better. Dodge will play their hand with the demon. Chevy played their hand with the z06 and the zl1. now its Fords turn. They built the new GT in a freaking basement and nobody knew about it... Dont worry guys. Have some faith.
Limited release this summer like the GT350 was then full orders this fall.
