silvrsvt Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2019/08/13/bronco-mustang-inspired-ev-to-lead-fords-new-product-line-in-2020.html looks like lots of refreshes between now and 2023 to keep the average product age down to roughly three years. Guess a new Mustang will come sooner then later if that is true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twin Turbo Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 I hope so. News/spyshots of anything Mustang related are thin on the ground, especially as pretty much ever other model has been spotted in camo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again this stays on the current platform, this will be a major overhaul with new sheet metal and interior but same footprint and same roof etc. The S750 will MY26 and will be all new from the ground up and probably on CD6 by then.

That's good info, thank you. So, we should see the first prototypes next Summer (ish)........seeing as the '21MY F150 has been spied since early Summer this year.

If the rumors of the Camaro's demise are true Hackett will likely cancel the NG Stang as he will have better uses for the money such as the autonomous program and maybe another run at electric bikes.

Aren't we supposed to get a Hybrid in the next 18 months or so? Good question... maybe the Mustang hybrid is a 48V mild hybrid and not a full on parallel hybrid. You don't need that many batteries to give the 5.0 V8 a little power boost. On the new Audi and Mercedes with 48V system, the battery is in the trunk. I think Ford's 48V system that it is rolling out in Europe is similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since Mustang is now a "world stage" vehicle, I don't believe the NG Mustang will get cancelled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's long enough that people will forget what was said.....maybe the Alphas and CT6 both get replaced by a new modular RWD/AWD architecture that's electric friendly. Something that more closely tracks to buyer expectations. Edited August 17, 2019 by jpd80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blksn8k2 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Rumors on the Camaro have it either continuing on the current platform until their next RWD platform is available which might not happen until 2025 at the earliest or they will scrap that plan altogether and re-engineer the Camaro to go all electric sometime after the current platform is discontinued, supposedly in 2023. The fact that Al Oppenheiser was reassigned from lead engineer on Camaro to their electric vehicle development program seems to be feeding that rumor...
