In case you haven’t had your fill, live shots, as well as shots in of the ragtop below. Ford was coy with powertrain details, but the 2.3L Ecoboost will make “more than 305 horsepower”, helping it exceed the 3.7L V6’s output. The 5.0L V8 is said to top the current car’s 420 horsepower. The convertble top will apparently raise and lower in just 5 seconds, while bigger brakes, paddle shifters and MyFord Touch all make an appearance. Despite adding a 4-cylinder engine and independent rear-suspension for world markets, Ford expects them to make up just 10 percent of sales.

The Silver convertible picture shows some really wide fender flares. Is that an artifact from widening the car for the IRS, or are they not that pronounced in person? Per the USA Today article:"We started having some trouble with the steering and proportion of the vehicle," Nair says. "We decided fairly late in development to widen the vehicle."
Anybody have a sense for how usable the back seat will be on this? The coupe has a great looking roofline but it looks like it kills the headroom in the back seat. The convertible looks like it has a more traditional roofline - not as dramatic or appealing - but perhaps one that makes the back seat more liveable. How are back seats on the outgoing model - coupe and convertible?
