The article also openly states that there is room for a drive shaft, now this is confirms AWD, but could hint at possible RWD development. The rear suspension can accommodate the mechanical needed, the only change (if any) would be in the engine bay...and if you are going to do a LWB version of the platform, you could change the front for a Nor/south arrangement...particularly if the Mustang is going to share global design, parts and engineering.

...and the artical assumes the come 2016, the falcon is dead...even though there is a update, in 2014...

Maybe you should have read the article, they clearly state its not designed for RWD.

“We haven’t designed (the C/D platform) for a RWD configuration,” Mr Pintar admitted.
