The Ford Mustang could come in a four-door version; will keep V8 engine, manual transmission “as long as possible”
Ford is considering a range of “true” internal combustion engine variants to enter the market Mustang runs on gasoline The range could include a four-door model for the first time in its history, car reported.
While the Mustang has attracted a strong following around the world, Ford CEO Jim Farley said that new versions will only be accepted by the model’s supporters if they have “performance and attitude” of existing models, according to the magazine.
“We will never build a Mustang is not a Mustang. For example, there will never be room for a small, two-row Ford SUV with a Mustang badge on it. But can we make other Mustang body types – four doors? I believe we can, as long as these cars have all the performance and style of the original,” Farley told Autocar.
The Blue Oval CEO believes that there is a need for a variety of derivatives in the Mustang line and that the company needs to invest in versions that are more accessible to its traditional customer base, as well as newer versions will take this car model further upmarket, tipping its hat towards Germany.
“Porsche has been very smart about creating derivative products over the last 20 years. But we don’t want to do things their way. We want to help them make money the American way. Some people think we can combine the Mustang with off-road driving, but I’m not so sure about that,” Farley said, referring to the car. Porsche 911 Dakar And Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato.
He described Mustang GTD “a down payment on future performance Mustangs,” the report adds. “At our best, we are a disrespectful company. We need to continue doing derivatives to surprise people,” he said.
One thing Mustang fans can take comfort in is that Ford plans to keep building V8 engines for as long as possible, and Farley promises to fight hard to keep producing manual engines and transmissions. This.
The CEO believes Ford is in a better position than major performance automakers because it is developing a range of electric models that will offset emissions for the fleet average in company to keep internal combustion engine models within legal limits.
Note that future Mustang models will likely adopt some degree of electrification to reduce carbon emissions as well as increase performance. “One thing I can promise, however, is that we will never produce an all-electric Mustang,” not counting the battery-electric crossover of the same name. Mustang Mach-E.
