2018 Mustang Coupe...

[68fastback]

...sporting what looks like production active dual exhaust and rear aero/splitter. Previously, the vert was seen with a cobbled mule-version of the same.

SEMA thinks it will be revealed early next year -- I'm thinking very early (NAIAS?) and back on the 'normal' St. Patty's order bank open schedule with line-test in June and cutover after July 4th. Have to hold those Cammy sales down until the specialty variants (like Mach) are ready to launch? ;-)

What's "active dual exhaust"?

You don't have it.

Move along.

Seriously, it doesn't look like there is much of a change, same body, same rear end and taillights as near as I can tell. The front is so well masked it is hard to tell what changes will be made. All in all, it doesn't look like it will make my 2015 look dated, for which I am happy about.

I suspect it's like on the GT350 ...can bypass mufflers.

Yeah, it's just a refresh. Some aero tweaks (splitters and maybe extractors) and some goodies (the active exhaust) but seems to look similar to '15s.

I have to wonder where they'll position the Mach. Historically it was a nice notch up from the GT but over the years it became little more than 10-20HP tweak.

GT350 sort of give the Mach more space to fill-in between GT and GT350 to keep think interesting until the TT GT500?

Ah-ha! :idea:

There are these little people who scoop out the mufflers and dump the exhaust into the tailpipes. Pretty cool :wtg:
