Nice to hear a much clearer sound of the new Mustang's V8. Is it just me or does it sound like it has a flat plane crank?

It does indeed sound like a flat-plane. Curiouser and Curiouser.

I though the same thing, it's definitely giving GT 350 vibes. Also the shifts are really quick. I wonder if it's sped up at all?

Yeah I wonder if this is a red herring from Ford at all? If not I really want to know what changes they've made to the V8.

Road and Track seems to have figured it out. Apparently this could be the engine and transmission for the Mustang GT3 race car.

Here's a Taste of What Ford's S650 Mustang GT3 Race Car Sounds Like

The car is slated to debut alongside the street-going S650 on September 14.

I don’t think this is a standard Mustang GT offering. I expect the standard GT to sound mostly like an S550 GT.

The new Mustang looks slightly more exotic than the outgoing model.
Can't get over that roof line, especially towards the rear

That does seem to be the most likely thing Ford will do.

Yup, those images @estang shared are for the GT3 car. Ford announced it back in January.

Ford shared another teaser video on Saturday and THIS should be what the Mustang's V8 sounds like.
