"Green" Mustang?

 

Mystery Mustang Appears in New Ford Ad

Ford Motor Company dropped its first Bryan Cranston-filled “Built Ford Proud” commercial today, offering the Breaking Bad alumnus an opportunity to cast aspersions at the company’s rivals, including industry startups. It’s filled with Ted Talk-bashing, futurespeak-trashing bravado linked together with a thread of get ‘er done, implying that talk is cheap, and real progress takes hard work.

You can count on Ford to build the future — that’s the message here.

Halfway through the ad, a 1960s Mustang blasting through a desert landscape morphs into a contemporary model, then morphs again into something else. But what is it?

Our worst fear was that this vehicle was the upcoming Mustang-inspired electric crossover. It’s a darkened shot at a distorted angle, but we can see that this vehicle’s face looks EV-only, swathed in plastic. A Mustang logo glows a color now synonymous with “green”: blue.

Surely Ford wouldn’t tempt civil unrest with a non-Mustang vehicle that actually bears a Mustang logo? Our minds raced. Will the Mustang become its own line? Is a Mustang X around the corner, or a Mustang EV X-Cross? Ford already ran into heated opposition when it announced the upcoming vehicle as the Mach 1 back in January..

t doesn’t seem likely. Looking closer after a bit of brightening, the vehicle’s face isn’t tall enough to be a crossover, and the tumblehome is pure Mustang. But the Mustang isn’t slated to offer a fully electric veriant — only a hybrid, beginning in 2020. While the mystery vehicle has certainly undergone a facelift, it certainly doesn’t look much like a hybrid. A hidden-from-view lower air opening and the two gills seen on either side of the front “grille” could conceivably emit enough airflow to keep a hybrid powertrain’s four-cylinder engine cool, but it seems too great of a styling departure for an aging generation of car. It’s worth noting that a next-generation Mustang is expected for 2021. Is this a hybrid next-gen model we see here, or just an idea of where the model could go somewhere down the line?

As you might expect, Ford’s not talking. When asked on Twitter about the strange pony car, Ford’s North American product communications manager Mike Levine said, “It’s a glimpse of the future. We are excited to show you more in the future. Stay tuned.”

Levine also said Ford had no plans to use the “EcoStang” name, which is just a waggish moniker that sprung into your author’s mind after viewing the video. Sounds fitting, though.

Ford debuts 700-horsepower 'street-legal' Mustang Shelby GT500

https://www.cnbc.com/2019/01/11/ford-debuts-700-horsepower-street-legal-mustang-shelby-gt500.html

 

  • The Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 is the latest version of the legendary track-focused pony car.
  • The GT500 borrows elements from Ford's GT super car and the racing-tuned Mustang GT4.
  • Ford says it is the quickest street legal Mustang in history.

Ford's new Mustang GT Shelby 500 is a 700-horsepower monster Ford says is the quickest street-legal Mustang in history.

The latest iteration of Ford's Shelby GT variant of the iconic Mustang pony car inherits the name of racer and engineer Carroll Shelby, who worked with Ford to design the first GT500 in 1967 — a car that now is considered a legend among American muscle cars.

The new version, which debuted at the Detroit auto show on Monday, goes from 0 to 60 miles per hour in the "mid-3 second" range, Ford said. It borrows technology from Ford's GT super car and the race-tuned Mustang GT4. It still has a lot of the creature comforts of a conventional car though, including a B&O sound system, power adjustable seats with optional suede fabric and SiriusXM radio. This is no family car, however. There is no rear seat, to reduce weight in the vehicle.

Ford Executive Vice President Jim Farley said he thought Carroll Shelby, who died in 2012, would love this Mustang more than any other.

The car is a big statement by a company that less than a year ago said it plans to all but stop selling cars in North America entirely over the next few years. If Ford follows through on those plans, the Mustang would be the last traditional passenger car in its lineup.

The GT500's massive 700-horsepower engine is perhaps meant to rival that of the 707-horsepower Dodge Challenger Hellcat, which has created lots of buzz for Dodge and Fiat Chrysler overall.

The GT500 is not meant to be a high-volume car, but it could prove quite valuable as a "halo" vehicle meant to draw buzz around the brand, said IHS Markit analyst Stephanie Brinley.

"The GT500 is essentially a street-to-track car for the Mustang, not entirely unlike the Challenger and Charger Hellcats," she said. "So it is low volume, but big excitement. ... It is clearly important to get people excited about your brand and about your vehicles in general, whether they buy a utility vehicle, a sedan, or a sports car. It does help to make a statement, as long as it fits with the brand."
