-_-Moltres-_- Posted January 27, 2022 Posted January 27, 2022 The next generation of Ford Mustang is already hitting the road near Ford's US headquarters. She is still well camouflaged but reveals her first secrets. Still well hidden under thick tarpaulins, the seventh-generation Ford Mustang is already preparing its arrival. The future “pony-car” is scheduled for 2023 in the United States and a little later for Europe. The first spy shots taken near Ford's headquarters in Dearborn show that the American coupe should be an evolution of the current generation rather than a completely new model. Even with its camouflage and a few extra appendages to hide its shapes, the Mustang is recognizable at first glance. Long bonnet, set back cabin and short rear, surmounted by a slight spoiler… The coupé retains almost the same shape, and its mythical “fastback” line , which several sedans and SUVs are now adopting on their own to attract customers. We notice on this copy of tests that the black rims are those of the current Mustang GT, while the steering wheel is that of a Bullitt version. These two elements are not final, and are used for the moment to drive the car before it receives the real wheels and the right steering wheel. Ditto for the exhausts, which are currently two large pipes placed on either side of the rear diffuser. A hybrid heart? Finally, the most important changes could be under the hood. Some rumors claim that the next Mustang will be entitled to a hybrid version for the first time. The American would not give up her mythical V8 5.0 of 460 ch for as much. Indeed, a video taken at the same time as the photos suggests the hoarse sound of this purring engine. Thus, the Ford Mustang could offer several engines including a new hybrid, of which we do not know much for the moment. Perhaps it will be based on the EcoBoost, which has now disappeared from the French catalog. Enough to partly avoid a big penalty... As a reminder, this exceeds €25,000 in 2022.
