Has there been any updates regarding the 2015 SVT Cobra, aside from the mule images that were released a few weeks ago? I think they are unveiling the car next month, right?

Twin Turbo 5.0?

Your title is misleading. Its a statement, NOT a question.

There is no news. White car posted with different hood. Possible the ecoboost one. Thats about it.

As of January- there were no plans.

Ehh im not so sure about that, we know that the design for this car was finished in December and that the reveal should be in NY next month. We know that there will be a hi-po version for 15, but we dont know if it will be designed by SVT or Team Mustang, like the Boss 302.

And we all know Ford does not release SE - Special Edition - cars in the first year of a new body style.

2010 GT500? Ford needs a SE mustang to keep up with the competition. There will be a 2015 SE, it wont be available at launch but a few months after.

There is a shelby coupe and convertable listed in the 2015 Ford body codes, and a leaked pic from a dealership website shows a listing for a GT350, first spy shots of this car came out in what september? It seems pretty clear that there will be a halo mustang for 2015.

Because 2010 was a whole new body style and not just a refresh, right? I don't recall there being an 05 GT500 or 05 SE Mustang at all. You're assumption is wrong, but anything can happe. Being a global car Ford may have mixed up their entire strategy and planned SEs earlier than usual.

Pretty sure that was first posted on this site. There's a thread devoted to it. :read:

If members on here seem short with you it's because every single bit of information on this new car gets posted by the minute! Then new members come on here and don't bother to look around and start threads asking questions that have been answered and debated repeatedly. There are multiple members here who have inside knowledge so if what you say contradicts what they say then no one is going to listen to you unless you have some credentials yourself.

That's basically the lowdown on this section and the 2015 section as of recent. There's a thread specifically for speculations but trying to put weight behind your speculations like everyone here is ignorant of the actual truth is not going to go very far. This section looks like Smackdowm sometimes lol.

And the fact that the section is titled "2016+ SVT Cobra Mustang" should tell you something. The owner of the site is well acquainted with the SVT crew so he probably titled this section based off knowledge they gave him, but no one has really caught onto it yet.

I have been following the 2015 section since it had first started, never bothered to get involved however. All of the evidence points to there being a hi-po Mustang. This section may be named "2016" but there have been numerous sources that have said this will be a 2015 model, we will find out in April.

well from that video the car looks to be on pretty stiff suspension and he was shifting very low which I couldn't help but assume he was staying out of boost to not give anything away. At the end there I heard a distinct blower whine though unless it was a sound coming from that Panamera or something inside the cameraman's car.

Sounded like it was coming from the Porsche...

Those two should put some money on the argument. Paypal LL some cash and wait a month.

Do agree with svtfocus2cobra though, do some searching, most of your questions have been covered a million times. Also lots of guys who work for ford hang out here. Now they may not have leaked any info but telltail posts point at real answers.

Im just hoping its all good news
