Ford Shows 4-door Mustang Hybrid to Dealers; Price <$40k, <4 sec 0-60, size/design likened to Panamera

[LouG]

I would like to see a return to pillarless hardtops. There's probably some safety BS preventing that.
But it was a very classy and sleek body style.

Would that be something akin to the 2-door sedans of the '50s and '60s?

Yep. Everyone was doing them.

At the recent managers' conference in Nevada, Ford executives announced a 4 door Mustang WILL be built. The mock-ups looked like a cross between an AM Vanquish and a Porsche Panamera. Hope to see some design renderings soon. Hope it's not a friggin' EV!

According to stangmode rumor, so take with a grain of salt, internally Ford is debating whether to make a V8 model available or not. Major flop is no affordable V8 in my eyes. Should be close to the pricing of the coupe

I can't see the V8 starting at less than $50K...which admittedly would still be a steal compared to the Charger, but whether $50K is affordable or not comes down to the individual.

If no V8 is offered, that actually wouldn't be a deal breaker for me. I can't picture the EcoBoost sounding any better than it ever will with or without the active exhaust, but maybe they offer a sweet sounding V6 (Nissan GT-R or Ford GT-like?) as the high-end option instead?

Ecoboost hybrid and v8 as a special edition model. Which in my eyes is code for $100k+

if the V8 model exist and starts at $50k I’d call that a win haha

50k though is starting to become the norm anyways. Hot hatches are now creeping beyond that in some trims and that’s been a big negative for that type a car. For a V8 I can see it being more palatable.

Ironically outside of the Mustang you could get away with a high performance sedan with a ecoboost v6. It would be hilarious too considering the Hurricane is being dragged by their fans and media.

I’m sure the hurricane is a fine motor. It just sounds sooooooo terrible. Vacuum cleaner vibes

That reveal with the SuperBee doing that burnout was hilarious.

I had it on as background noise while putting up shelves, window open and everything… I GENUINELY THOUGHT MY NEIGHBOR WAS DOING YARDWORK

V6 EcoBoost will sound even worse if they put any kind of performance exhaust on it

Please stop watching that guy. He is nothing but clickbait.
