I highly doubt it. Just because we are progressing to greener technology and EV there will still always be a market for sports/performance cars, always. The Mustang brings in a lot of money for Ford even if it isn't their best seller. Now if they are spending WAY too much R&D and could never...
Then buy classics like all the other old school guys?:lol:
You all act like it's the end of the V8 for EVERYTHING, past and new. It's not even stated that the V8 is going ANYWHERE. You will still have a V8 option, bet on it.
It's really fun to read the speculations made from a an extremely vague statement. What's great is how long you will have to wait to find out exactly. Were are months from a 2018 release and still don't know much about it. :lol:
I don't understand why people think that this means the V8 goes away. The V8 just falls down the the middle ground Mustang GT trim, since there is no more V6. The Hybrid is going to be a new trim (not the GT 5.0), which will be the bigger performer. As stated, the V8 will go away entirely though...
You act as if Mustang is Ford's creme of the crop money maker. It's not really so them continuing to not make a lot of changes to it isn't going to hurt the company even if it's what all the other cars are doing. The Mustang is a small figures of sales compared to their whole line up of...
V8 will replace the V6 and eventually be phased out just like the V6 was. Not just Ford but a lot of people and those who aren't planning to step up on the hybrid/EV game will be too late. Regulations will only continue to get worse for manufactures. Keeping big V8 engines with poor economy...
Hell they probably already started round tables on the Hybrid Mustang before the S550 was launched. With big businesses, the work never stops, projects over lapse each other, risk and analysis happens YEARS before it's even mentioned to the public.
