The current S550 Ford Mustang has been around for a while. It's received updates, special editions, and a ton of variants, but the fundamental architecture dates back to 2014. We weren't expecting an all-new version for a while, with reports suggesting that Ford would prolong the life of the S550 until 2026 to try to keep costs down. But a new job posting shows that timeline may have moved up.

The job is for a "Wind/Road Noise and Air Leakage Plant Vehicle Team (PVT) Engineer" at the Flat Rock plant where the current Mustang is built. The posting says the engineer will assist with quality assurance on the current Mustang but—more importantly—will be the "final sign off on the Ford 2023 Mustang S650."



In case that isn't clear enough, the listing also notes the engineer will be the on-site lead when "S650 launches in 2022 as a 2023MY." While these things are never set in stone until the automaker publicly confirms it, a direct job posting from the manufacturer like this is pretty explicit and credible.

The listing was first spotted on LinkedIn by a user on the forum Mustang6G. It was posted by the official Ford LinkedIn account and the posting redirects applicants to a page on the Gr8People recruiting site.

A spokeswoman for Ford, when reached for comment, said that the company does not comment on future products. In case the job posting is removed, we've also included a screenshot of it below.
