According to a new report from the accounting firm UHY LLP, the seventh-generation Mustang will debut in May of 2020 after the S550 ceases production in April of that year. That North American Automotive Production Forecast also says that the start of production for the next-gen Mustang was bumped up by a couple of years and its codename was changed.

It looks like the heralded S550 Mustang will gallop off into the sunset in April of 2020 to make way for what looks to be the debut of the seventh-gen, 2021 Mustang.

“Program code for the next‐generation Mustang (S550(ng)) has been changed to S650 and the SOP has been shifted back from January 2022 to May 2020,” says the UHY LLP report. “Subsequently, the EOP for the S550 has been moved to April 2020.”

We’d have to assume that S550NG was a working title, as S650 definitely has a better ring to it. Moreover, Ford’s engineers must be putting in a lot of overtime to produce such an important vehicle in a shorter time span.
