Ford says an all-electric Mustang is inevitable

Following the reveal of the new Ford Mustang Mach-E, chief engineer Ron Heiser has revealed than an all-electric variant of the iconic muscle car is inevitable.

While, according to Motoring.au, the next-generation Mustang (due in 2021) will be available as a hybrid electric, a fully-electric variant sharing the same platform as the Mach-E is now also on the cards.

REVIEW | Ford Mustang 2.3 EcoBoost Convertible

In summary

One does not buy a Ford Mustang for its looks alone, but for the heritage and history that comes with it. In the modern Mustang’s case, it has the benefit of being a looker and it builds forth of the tradition that’s been set for the last 60 years.

It is not as fun to drive as say a German sports car, but there is reward enough in slipping in the driver’s seat and setting off. Yes, it is heavy to steer, but you can adjust the weight of the steering wheel (you can choose between Normal, Comfort, Sport). A sweeping mountain pass will highlight plenty of shortcomings in terms of driver engagement and the car’s dynamic traits, but drive to the car’s strengths and you will have a different opinion of it.

Ford Mustang GT-X Edition boasts 541 kW (and a higher top speed).

German tuner PS-Sattlerei has whipped the wraps off the Ford Mustang GT-X Edition, a modified version of the Blue Oval’s 5,0-litre V8 muscle car. Boasting an upgraded interior, loads of carbon-fibre and extra oomph (and enhanced top speed!), the firm bills it as “the pony with a unique charisma”.

Dressed in Fury Orange paintwork, the Mustang GT-X Edition doesn’t want for attention, says the Bergkamen-based company. Adding to that is a “thundering” NAP-sourced stainless steel exhaust system, replete with carbon-fibre-coated tailpipes, which is coupled with an uprated version of the two-door’s V8, now featuring a supercharger. Thanks to the fitment of the latter and some choice software upgrades, the 5,0-litre engine's peak outputs of 331 kW and 529 N.m have been hiked to whopping 541 kW and 800 N.m, sent to the rear wheels via a (purists rejoice!) six-speed manual ‘box.

Most powerful Roush Mustang ever, with 578kW, is heading to SA

Jack Roush has a storied history in motorsport, being considered one of the world's most successful team owners, and to celebrate his induction into the Nascar Hall of Fame, his tuning company has released its most powerful Mustang to date. As you’d expect, it’s named after him.

The best news is that South Africa will be receiving three of the 10 Jack Roush Edition Mustangs that the US tuning company plans to export, while 60 are being allocated to its home market.

To make this special edition truly special, Roush Performance tinkered with just about every aspect of the Mustang GT, from engine to suspension, aerodynamics and braking.

The most exciting part, of course, lies beneath the hood, where the 5-litre Coyote V8 has been cranked up to 578kW and 908Nm, which is a pretty serious gain over the standard car’s 331kW/529Nm. This is largely thanks to a Stage 3 supercharging package, and to help the motor keep its cool, a high-performance cooling package is also included.

Against the clock, the Jack Roush Edition Mustang will blast from zero to 96km/h in just 3.4 seconds, Roush claims.

Next-gen Ford Mustang to employ electrified V8 and AWD – report

A fresh report out of the United Kingdom claims the next-generation Ford Mustang will debut in 2022 with an electrified V8 and all-wheel drive.

According to Autocar, the seventh-generation version of the Mustang will be offered in both left- and right-hand drive (as with the current model), sold alongside the all-electric Mustang Mach-E.

Bearing the codename “S650” and set to be built on the CD6 platform (shared with the latest Explorer), the new Mustang will reportedly retain a V8 engine option, although the Blue Oval brand is expected to add a hybrid system to the mix.

Ford unleashes 1000kW electric Mustang Cobra Jet drag racer

Ford’s Mustang Cobra Jet is no stranger to the drag strip, but this new one-off asphalt ripper is somewhat different.

While fans are accustomed to hearing the roar of a V8 and the whine of a Whipple supercharger, this new creation will dart off the line in near silence thanks to an all-electric powertrain.

Taking full advantage of the instant torque delivery that such a set-up affords, and here we’re talking 1491 newton-metres, the electric Cobra Jet is said to crush the quarter-mile in the low-8-second range, with an exit speed of more than 270km/h. In power terms, the purpose-built electric powertrain is said to produce more than 1400 horsepower (1044kW).

The electric drag car was designed to honour the original Cobra Jet that first dominated drag strips in the late 1960s, and which was followed up in 2018 by a new-generation equivalent, but the car that you see here also has an eye on the future.

Reviving the past - Ford to bring Mustang Mach 1 back to life in 2021

• Ford will launch a new Mustang Mach 1 in 2021

• The Mach 1 will be a limited-edition model

• Power to come from Ford's familiar 5.0-litre V8 engine

Come 2021, the Ford Mustang Mach 1 will make its return.

Now in its fifth-generation, the Mach 1 started life in 1969, five years after the original Mustang made its debut. This sports car bolstered the Mustang range, and will do so again in 2021.

Next year, Ford will pay homage to the 1969 model with a new Mustang Mach 1.

This limited-edition model will form part of the current Mustang range, much like the Bullitt, when it was launched alongside the rest of the range in mid-2019.
