Entering market for the 2024 model year, the seventh-generation S650 Mustang represents Ford's commitment to pure internal combustion muscle performance. Blending track performance with modern Ford Mustang maintenance engineering, it introduces a dual curved screen digital cockpit while retaining the aggressive rear-wheel-drive platform.
Under the bonnet lies the 4th generation 5.0 Coyote V8 with dual throttle bodies (480-500 hp in Dark Horse specification) alongside an upgraded 2.3 EcoBoost turbo. Transmission options feature the 10-speed automatic / Tremec manual gearbox (on Dark Horse) or Getrag 6-speed manual, with performance models adding an electronic drift brake and Brembo calipers.
Maintenance requirements center on Ford's Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor and strict oil quality standards for the dual-intake V8 block. Track usage on Dark Horse models requires shortened fluid change cycles for engine oil, differential, and brake fluid. As a new generation, software updates for the digital cockpit and sensor calibration represent modern service focal points.
