If you're looking for a Ford topic that splits opinions with ease, you can always ask if the just-around-the-corner Bronco will somehow take the place of the Flex, which was retired last year. However, there are more interesting contexts for the now-out 7-seater crossover, so how about such a face swap for the Mustang? Well, this is precisely what the rendering occupying our screens comes to offer.
We're dealing with a pixel work that appears to place the front end of the Flex on the body of the 2020 Shelby GT500. And, at least from where I'm standing, the mix looks stable - since we're talking about the GT500 all-out effort, this is even more surprising.

Of course, we're looking at a mere exercise and, in case you're wondering about its purpose, here we go: for instance, we can use such renderings to pass the time until the Blue Oval drops more info on the rumored Mach 1 return - this is expected to replace the GT350 in the 2021 lineup, with multiple test vehicles having already been spotted doing their thing.

You should know that face swap pixel efforts are rather popular these days and this one comes from Carson Ashby‎, via the Nose Swap Nation Facebook group.

Of course, there are even more important questions revolving around the pony nameplate. For one, 2022 should see Ford introducing the next-generation of the machine. Codenamed S650 and set to hit the U.S. market as a 2023 model, this is expected to feature a certain degree of electrification.

Will Ford go all out and introduce an all-electric 'Stang? It's obviously too early to tell, but the automotive producer might have hinted at a positive answer last week.

I'm referring to the introduction of the Mustang Cobra Jet 1400, a prototype built with drag racing in mind, which promises to cover the 1,320 feet duty in the low-8s range. The 1,400-pony electron juice sipper is scheduled to make its debut later this year.
