The Last V8 Muscle Car: Ford Mustang Sales Remain Strong
Ford Mustang: The Last of Its Kind
Ford executives are confident in the continued success of the Mustang, attributing its solid sales to being the last V8 muscle car available for purchase. Despite the global shift towards eco-friendly vehicles, the demand for V8-powered Mustangs remains impressive, especially outside the U.S.
Staying True to Tradition
With competitors like the Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger stepping back from the market, Ford sees an opportunity to cater to enthusiasts who appreciate the raw power of a large-displacement engine. V8 models account for over half of U.S. sales and are also popular among European consumers.
Looking Ahead
While Ford has not confirmed plans for an all-electric or hybrid Mustang, the brand is committed to growing its iconic muscle car’s sales. Despite a decline in U.S. sales in recent years, the Mustang’s formula continues to resonate with consumers, with steady sales since 2020.
Exciting Developments
Looking towards the future, Ford is gearing up for the release of the 2025 Mustang GTD, set to be the most powerful road-legal Mustang ever produced. Featuring a supercharged 5.2-liter V8 engine with an expected output of 800 hp, this flagship model promises to deliver an exhilarating driving experience.
Continued Enthusiasm
Despite industry trends favoring greener alternatives, Ford remains committed to meeting the demand for high-performance vehicles like the V8 Mustang. With a range of engine options available, including the popular 2.3-liter four-cylinder EcoBoost, Ford is poised to keep the Mustang legacy alive for years to come.
