S650 Mustang INTERIOR First Look Spyshots! + More Exterior Shots

[DeluxeStang]

Yes, does it look familiar?

Plus look at "spy pics" and the relation of the new Mustang steering wheel compared to the driver's legs/knees...even with a flat bottom, it looks very close to the driver's lower body.

I personally like the chunkier design with the flat bottom, looks sportier/more modern. But to each their own.

I'm really trying to like it. Honestly, the main dash panel, and the 12" look fine. It's that center vent "pod" that just looks half-baked. The vents and the usb charging panel are facing directly to the rear, yet the switch panel is what looks like cocked at an angle towards the driver. It just looks cheap. It's as if it is its own area, and not part of the overall dash. It looks as if I could grab that pod with 2 hands a pull it straight out of the car.

That line of "buttons" don't appear to be buttons to me. It looks as if the driver will "touch" the exposed small metal bar, which will relay the "push" signal to the module for change of functions.

Agreed. Looks like Ford has doubled down on the epic fail of touch controls.

Can you do the poop emoji next for the interior?

Personally I don't have an opinion about the interior yet, but since the original artist hasn't responded I thought I'd help you out

Because we can't really see the top of the dash due to the camo, here's a quick sketch I threw together to illustrate how this could look with the double brow theme. Would need to lower the brows a bit, but you get the idea.

The entire top of the dash is covered, it could still have a double brow.

I think you guys are reaching for the double brow.

Look at the animated layout on the screen.
The brow over the driver gauges extend over to the middle screen and down just after the 2nd vent.

It allows the screens to stay recessed and out of direct sunlight.
They moved the vents downward to open the space up for the screen, which could accommodate larger sizes than what we see without looking tacked on like an iPad sticking up.

About the interior, I keep saying 'where have I seen this before'? The new dash reminds me of the later refreshed Fox body interior, with rectangle vents in the middle down low, 'driver centric' dash pod and blocky style steering . Very 80's to me. The sketch above kinda confirmed my thoughts. Please tell me I am loosing it and totally wrong. I really love the S550 dash, even in my base 2015 GT.

...and an audio volume control knob on the passenger side??? and auto start stop???

I'll reserve final judgment until we see the exterior, however, here's where I think we should be thankful for at this point in time.

1. Pure ICE V8 still available.
2. RWD still standard.
3. Manual (at least for North American markets) likely still available.
4. Physical handbrake still available.
5. Physical volume button.

I would lament the loss of the double brow dash as much as the next guy. However, if the car is a stunner and performs admirably, I'll get over it. I also don't really care about the digital HVAC controls. This car will not be my daily driver, and so HVAC controls are not even that relevant to me.

For those upset about auto stop/start - either get a manual that will likely not have it, or disable it via Forscan.

P.S., I bet the center stack will look great displaying various performance metrics similar to Dodge's performance pages implementation.

Exactly, the exterior design always matters more than the interior layout in cars like the mustang. If the exterior is a knockout and that's how it kinda sounds according to some insiders, then I'll still be happy with it.

Pretty late to the party here, just moved and PC and internet is running now again

We obviously have three models here:
US Ecoboost (small brakes)

EU GT (nice wheels, bigger brakes, EU mirrors)

EU Hybrid AWD (rear brake on the inner side of the wheel, EU mirrors)

In terms of the interior: I really love what Ford is doing here. Big horizontal displays and still having a few pyhsicals buttons is exactly was I was hoping for. Seems like Ford get that the vertical display of the Mach E was not the way to go for the future. It reminds me of the C8 interior in a good way.

Overall the interiors design has way more edges, something I always though the exterior design will feature too based on the spyshots and I see that a slight confirmation for that. So the S650 might overall look like a more bulky and edgy S550. I think some people will see Camaro or Gen 5 elements in that in the end.

These all seem to be EU spec cars. I'm thinking they are Base EB, GT and GT PP/M1/BOSS versions. The lower grills on the last one definitely have some M1/GT500 styling on them compared to the others.

With No Evidence at this point, I'm leaning to either the Single or Full Length Brow.

I thought uni-brow was an Appalachian inbred hick thing...
