Ford Mustang News

Read Ford Mustang news and reviews from Torque News. The Ford Mustang is an American automotive icon. It was immediately a success since it was launched April 17, 1964. And ever since, this pony car is the longest-running car in the American auto industry with uninterrupted production every model. Now in its sixth generation, the Mustang continues to dominate the muscle car/sports coupe segment.

The Mustang will be the last car remaining in the Ford lineup, which says a lot about this car’s importance to Ford and the industry. While sales have dropped over the last several years, Ford continues to invest in the Mustang offering high-performance variants and special edition versions. The Mustang has been sold globally in 146 countries worldwide.

Recently, Ford made a splash by introducing the Mustang Mach-E which is an all-electric crossover. By using the Mustang name on this vehicle it shows Ford values the iconic name and value of the Mustang badge. More than 10 million Mustangs have been sold since its creation. There is no intention of discontinuing the Mustang as a pony car/sports coupe and there will be an electrified version of the Mustang pony car in coming years to go along with GT350, GT500 and a new Mach 1 version to continue this iconic nameplate.
