GT500 rumors...AWD Ecoboost?

[Broncojohnny]

I can see the GT500 being AWD but not a V6.

[Sgt Beavis]

There isn't really anything in that article that supports their arguement for a EBv6. I have just as much reason to believe the GT500 will have a flat plane crank V8 with forced induction.

All we have here is evidence they would have AWD in the future. However it makes me wonder why they would have that part on a non-awd car. All that does is add to the cost of making the car. Ford isn't into throwing away money. I wonder if anyone else with a GT350 has verified this report.

EDIT: the article doesn't have any part numbers for the part. Can anyone validate what they claim here?

A neighbor of mine retired from Ford. Several of his relatives, including his father still work there. He came down looking at my GT500 and asked if I rwould ever sell it. I told him if I did, it would be to get another GT500 2017 if they come out. He said rumors or crazy up at Ford that they're coming out with a 2017 GT500 V-8 with monstrous horsepower. His dad told him it's not rumors.

A while back a article quoted a Ford engineer saying, hellcat won't be a problem. This seems to fit what your friends are hearing.
