It is expected to go on sale in 2024.
Although the current Ford Mustang is in high demand, it is becoming a little old. Dearborn-based Ford knows this and is currently working on a successor. It will feature an evolutionary design, new technology, and powerful engines. According to a new report, however, it won’t be happening until April next year.
Car & Driver has an article about the 2024 Mustang. The publication claims that the pony car will be debuting next year. The report suggests that the debut could take place on April 17th, the date the original Mustang was revealed at the 1964 New York World’s Fair. The new model is expected to go on sale in 2024, and production may begin in March 2023.
Another report claims that the S650 Mustang could be launched with the carryover engines of the S550 model. This would indicate that the new Mustang will come with either a standard turbocharged four-cylinder engine or an optional naturally aspirated eight-cylinder engine. Ford declined to comment, but we reached out to them for more information.
A new electrified V8 with more power than the standard V8 5.0-liter is expected to be added later in the lifecycle of the Mustang. Different sources claim that the electric motor will drive the front axle while the combustion engine will spin both the rear wheels. This gives the Mustang all-wheel-drive capabilities. This configuration will only be available with an automatic transmission.
Multimatic and Ford will team up to create a Mustang GT3 racing car. This vehicle is expected to make its racing debut at the 2024 Rolex 24 Daytona. Performance variants of Ford’s new Mustang will be available before 2026, following the initial launch.
