The Ford Mustang Thread

Sutton CS850R Mustang 2022 UK review

And if you do get liberal with the throttle , the shorter gearing and prodigious power make it very easy to spin up the rear wheels, where it shows itself to be a terrifically adjustable car with a great balance. Heavy for a track car, but great for hooning. And with an exhaust note to match – a little too much for the road in its loudest mode.

The CS850 R is priced from £121,000 – a lot for a Ford Mustang, but not so bad for a car with this much power and poise and precision.

All-New Ford Mustang: What We Know So Far

The reveal of the all-new, seventh-generation Ford Mustang is just around the corner. Here’s what we know so far, including the all-important fact the V8 engine will survive…

Ford Motor Company has confirmed it plans to reveal the new Mustang on 14 September 2022, with the seventh generation of the famed pony car – which traces its roots all the way back to 1964 – set to make its global debut at the Detroit Auto Show.

“Mustang is the world’s best-selling sports car because there’s one for everyone – from an EcoBoost convertible to 5.0-litre V8 GT fastback coupé,” said Jim Farley, president and chief executive officer, Ford Motor Company.

“Now it’s time to for a new stampede of owners, fans and employees to welcome the next chapter in Mustang’s legacy – the seventh-generation, which will be our best yet.”

Those are fighting words! So, what do we know so far? Despite the fact the unveiling is just around the corner, official information on the so-called S650 model is fairly thin on the ground. Still, there are a few things worth digging into. Let’s dive in…

Next-Gen Mustang Won't Go Hybrid or All-Wheel Drive: Report

Rumors of a hybrid drivetrain and all-wheel drive in the next-gen S650 Mustang have officially been squashed.

The forthcoming, seventh-generation “S650” Mustang — either a 2023 or 2024 model depending on who you ask — may very well be the last with an internal-combustion engine and available manual transmission. Up until now, the rumor mill suggested it would also be the first Mustang to offer a hybrid powertrain and/or all-wheel drive. But now, Ford has apparently put that idea on ice.

This reality check comes courtesy of Automotive News, citing three anonymous industry sources familiar with Dearborn’s plans. The new Mustang will debut at the Detroit Auto Show on September 14, so we’ll only have to wait about a week to know for sure. From the article:

Enter the 2024 Mustang. The car has a new platform, called S650, but it’s not expected to depart drastically from the current S550 model. A hybrid variant that was planned for mid-decade has been scrapped, according to three people familiar with the plans, and the car isn’t expected to get a long-rumored all-wheel-drive configuration, instead continuing as a rear-wheel-drive sports coupe.

Ford has told suppliers it’s stretching the product’s lifecycle from six to eight years, all but ensuring this will be the final gasoline-powered Mustang before an expected switch to battery power around 2030.

 
New 2023 Ford Mustang to be revealed next week

Iconic muscle car to be unveiled in Detroit as four-wheel-drive car with hybrid V8 drivetrain

The seventh-generation of the iconic Ford Mustang will be unveiled next week, and is set to undergo the most radical reinvention in its 58-year history.

The sports coupé, which wears one of the longest-running (and historically best-selling) nameplates of any car currently on sale, will be shown for the first time at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit on 14 September.

Seen before as a camouflage-clad prototype, it’s clear that Ford will seek to evolve, rather than overhaul, the Mustang’s characteristic cab-backward silhouette and muscular design cues.

 
Ford Mustang

Ford once again sounds a wake-up call for sports car lovers around the world with the introduction of the all-new Ford Mustang. The seventh generation is the most exhilarating and visceral yet, from its fighter jet-inspired digital cockpit to new advanced turbocharged and naturally aspirated engines to its edgier yet timeless exterior design.

"Investing in another generation of Mustang is a big statement at a time when many of our competitors are exiting the business of internal combustion vehicles," said Jim Farley, CEO of Ford Motor Company. "Ford, however, is turbocharging its ICE growth plan, adding connected technology, opinionated derivatives, and hybrid options to our most profitable and popular cars - all in the Ford Blue family - on top of investing $50 billion in electric vehicles through 2026."

The new Ford Mustang adds another chapter to an icon, delivering the looks, sound and appeal of the world's best-selling sports coupe for seven years running. Whether convertible or coupe, V8 or turbocharged 4-cylinder, manual or automatic, Mustang has options at multiple price points and performance levels.
