Amidst the absence of the new-gen Dodge Charger’s availability and the temporary discontinuation of the Chevrolet Camaro, the Ford Mustang stands alone as the sole muscle car currently in production. However, recent sightings of an aggressive prototype of the S650 suggest that the Blue Oval is looking to expand its Mustang lineup.
Images of the partially camouflaged prototype recently surfaced online, shared by the_xcalibur on social media, presumably captured in Las Vegas. All indications point to a future Shelby model, sparking speculation within the automotive community.
Initially, there was speculation that the prototype could be the production version of the upcoming GTD, set to be available in limited numbers by the end of the year or in early 2025, boasting 800 horsepower and a starting price of around $300,000. However, the prototype’s appearance suggests it may not align with the characteristics of the GTD.
Another possibility is that the prototype could be the next-gen Ford Mustang Shelby GT500. However, doubts arise regarding this speculation, as the GT500 would likely feature a more aggressive design. Rumors suggest a possible 2025 introduction of the S650-based GT500, with a starting price close to $100,000 and potentially boasting over 800 horsepower.
As speculation continues, only time will reveal the true nature of the Ford Mustang S650 prototype. However, speculation leans towards a new GT350 (GT350R?), possibly set to debut in the coming months, fueling anticipation within the automotive community.
