Ford Teases New Mustang Variant for 60th Anniversary Celebration
Ford enthusiasts around the world were buzzing with excitement yesterday as the company announced a new special edition Mustang to celebrate the iconic car’s 60th anniversary. The announcement was made during a presentation at the Mustang’s milestone celebration, where Ford teased a new variant that is set to arrive on the scene next year.
Details about the new variant are scarce, as it was only briefly showcased under a yellow shroud that concealed most of its bodywork. However, one distinctive feature that was visible was a tall rear wing, similar to the one found on the Dark Horse model. This suggests that the new variant will not just be about straight-line speed, but will offer a unique driving experience for Mustang enthusiasts.
Matt Simpson, the general manager of Ford’s enthusiast vehicles division, expressed his excitement about the upcoming addition to the Mustang lineup. “It will be another addition to the Mustang group,” Simpson said. “We won’t stop with the Mustang, we will continue to grow the family. The Mustang has always aimed to be the most fun car to drive, and this will be an incredible addition to the family. We can’t wait to show you more about this car.”
Speculation is rife about what the new Mustang variant could be. Some experts have suggested that it might be a successor to the Shelby GT350, given that 2025 marks the end of production for the iconic model. However, Simpson’s comments hint at the possibility of a completely new model that could complement or even replace the GT350.
While the exact details of the new variant remain a mystery, some enthusiasts have speculated about the possibility of a turbo V6 Ecoboost model, a turbo V8, or even a hybrid powertrain. Given the increasing emphasis on emissions control, a hybrid powertrain seems like a strong possibility. The question remains whether the new variant will be a plug-in hybrid or a traditional one.
Ford has a history of surprising its fans with innovative new models, so there is always the possibility that the new Mustang variant could be something completely unexpected. Whether it’s a high-performance hybrid or a cutting-edge design, Mustang enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting more information about the upcoming model.
For now, all eyes are on Ford as they prepare to unveil the new Mustang variant next year. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting development in the iconic car’s history.
