News recently emerged from various websites of Ford planning to stop production of the S650 Ford Mustang, possibly in 2028. However, Ford released a statement to say the news was incorrect.
The statement from Ford includes, ‘the report about Mustang is not accurate. Beyond this, we don’t comment on speculation about future products.’ They also add, ‘Mustang will continue’ at the Flat Rock assembly plant.
Rumours and whispers in the air going back to Jan 2021 stated the Mustang could become an EV by 2028 and the S650 could disappear simultaneously. The success of the Mustang Mach-E and its CAFE (Corporate Average Fuel Economy) credits justifies selling a V8, but could also point to a hybrid Mustang in the far future. All fingers point to this type of direction, but no news is solid until an official release by the car makers. This means current Mustang owners and those thinking of buying an ICE Mustang are fine for many years.
Stellantis are hedging their bets as with other car makers, looking into synthetic fuels and hydrogen tech., which could mean the ICE could last longer than previously thought.
In other words, watch this space, as nothing is set in concrete for the Mustang, the internal combustion engine, or at least publically.
