1/5. Everyone is assuming this is 1/5 teaser videos.
I'm thinking it's 1/5 performance models coming from the blue oval. And the vid is giving all the hints.
Put on your tinfoil hats, here's my wild guesses:
1) We know the GT350 is coming, that's no surprise. In the vid, there's shots of Mustangs road racing to coincide with this. I've actually been next to GT350 mules at stop lights, but unable to goad engineers into impromptu drag races.
2) A Focus RS is coming, supposedly with AWD. Also no surprise. Perhaps that's the link to the rallycross type shots.
3) There's a !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , and a companion street car aka Ford GT successor. Video has shots of the Ford GT40. I still think the shadowy shot of the wheel is a Ford GT (or whatever) wheel not a GT350 wheel, ditto the shot of the honeycomb grille shadow on the tire that doesn't make sense for a Mustang.
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
I really think what we're seeing in the teaser is the next Ford GT. The font on the date could be GT350 font, but it also matches the old Ford GT font too. This is my biggest guess: I think this is what we'll see on 11/17.
4) Plenty of offroad truck shots hint at a Raptor replacement on the new F150 chassis. I don't know how much of a success the Raptor has been, but a 2nd gen is totally plausible. Outside shot at a Ranger return to battle with Colorado, and a Raptor-like version. I have seen at least one Ranger rolling around Dearborn, but nothing hot-roddy.
5) ? I got nothing. My theory poops out here. I'd like to say Ken Block inspired Fiesta Raptor with all the rally footage but that's far out there. I've seen lifted Fiestas running around Dearborn but pretty sure they were C-Max or Ecosport (non-US micro SUV) mules, as I haven't seen one in a while. With some fender flares they could be convincing:
The Raptor-like Ecosport concept that was shown here on Jalopnik yesterday isn't as cool.
Whatever, these mules had pillar mounted boost gauges, but probably for the 1.0L that the Ecosport runs. Wishful thinking, as I have no idea what type of buyer this would target.
I would find a Fusion ST much more plausible, and a total no-brainer. But there's no hint to such a car in the vid nor a real rumor of one, unless you count the super short NASCAR shot in the vid. I also haven't seen any camo'd out Fusions running around. Those would be a really easy thing to test out on public roads though.

I don't. It's a Ford Mondeo. The ST's are fun because they're small, light and tossable. The Fusion is pretty hefty for a sporting fwd car.

I like your theory. It might be a stretch but I hope your right. The Le Mans racer will be last. I doubt we'll get the Raptor Fiesta as we dont even have the Fiesta CUV. I feel like one of these would get replaced with something very Eco to offset all the crazy.
1. GT350
2. Ranger to battle the Colorado
3. Performance Taurus closer to the Hellcat or maybe like a S85P
4. Focus RS
5. GT

Seems like a layup. Minimal investment to inject some mid cycle excitement.
