All-wheel drive "performance" model?
Casually reading the "News Desk" article in the January Mustang Monthly when something stopped me in my tracks!
"There are rumours of an all-wheel driver "performance" model for the '15MY and it will likely be powered by the 5.8l 600bhp+ V8"
Now, an all wheel driver doesn't appeal to me (mine's used as a fine weather weekend toy) but I can see this being more of a competitor to the Audi RS5 and maybe even the Nissan GTR.
My main concern would be added weight and complexity.
Mustang Monthly are normally pretty clued up on their news desk articles, so wondering why I've not heard any other such rumours

Man, I hope the rumors are false. Well if they pertain to Mustang. A 650 HP GTR wanna be wrapped up in a nice slick body for Lincoln might not be to bad.
