April and May have fanned a few flames in the muscle car world, such issues are especially concerning now that there is only one muscle car left, Ford Mustang. General Director Chairman Mark Reuss Thinking About Chevrolet Camaro ARRIVE Engine TrendsImagine a fun-to-drive four-door electric car priced in the 2024 Chevrolet Equinox Electric Carstarts at $43,295 with destination. With the federal tax credit, that would put Camaro of prices are lower than all competitors, assuming the performance makes the base price worth it. Across suburban Michigan at Ford carsCEO Jim Farley gave Car his thoughts about what is possible with Wild horseruled out an all-electric variant and seemingly ruled out an off-road-focused model, while leaving the door open for a sedan-like model “as long as [it has] performance and attitude of the original.” Those doors are now officially ajar after Ford salesman meeting in Las Vegas. Car News report Dealers were shown several potential future models, including a four-door and off-road version of the Mustang.
Unnamed attendees at the meeting said Ford is calling the home version of the Mustang the Mach 4, which was shown in concept form. A second concept, a “robust” off-road version ONE described as a “Baja model,” shown in a photo. We’re not sure if Ford calls the model the “Baja” ONE‘ description, and we also wonder if the fact that the Mach 4 is a build and the Baja is a photo means one is closer to market launch than the other.
Vaughn Gittin Jr.’s RTR has added a third entry to the muscle car lineup, this time in an EcoBoost version that starts at $40,000 (and was probably revealed in April.). This engine option is different from the popular Coyote V8 focus RTR. Such a model would help Ford expand its turbocharged four-cylinder performance credentials, filling the void left by Ford EcoBoost Performance Package in 2025, and also at a similar price point. It is said that RTR is also looking to develop its own line of cars and sell them in-house, not just through OEM dealers.
The final horse in the stable is the high-performance ‘Stang convertible with a manual transmission, which is known for not having a Shelby badge. Ford Agency said la and prototype of what we expect will be a new Shelby GT500 has been in testing for about a year, however, Ford may want a new name. rumor is that the company is considering an original name that it comes up with — like Dark Horse in the Mustang world or Raptor and Tremor for its pickup trucks — instead of continuing to license a badge.
Not mentioned in any of this, we must also remember the top-down view of a Mustang doing four-wheel burnout in April, suggesting more ideas, perhaps the EcoBoost idea hybrid diversity.
Elsewhere in the range, dealers were shown a physical mock-up of a compact truck based on the The eccentric pick-up platform. This will effectively return Transit Connection for our market, possibly under a different name, and could be deployed as early as 2025.
Dealers also got a preview of the upcoming battery-electric platform that will support a variety of models, including sedans, small SUVs and pickup trucks.
When AN asked Ford about the preview, a spokesperson for the automaker replied that there are “very exciting plans to expand our portfolio with new car at all price points.” Dealers seemed excited, with one calling it “fantastic,” while another told AN, “This was the first good meeting in five years in terms of positivity and focus on the future.”
