I used to drive exclusively V8s for a long time. But EVs give you the same low end torque that allows you to rip through traffic but without the terrible fuel economy.
I wouldn’t be against an electric mustang (not an suv) with a simulated manual gearbox.
I hope one day someone is gonna create such an affordable EV dream 🤞
They will be until it hurts sales.
It may not yet, but it will. Higher cost for lower performance won’t look good on a Mustang.
Considering the Camaro, Challenger, and Charger are gone things should be good for the Mustang.
I’m happy they are still making V8’s but I don’t know if I would still see myself driving a V8 as a daily.
Maybe if synthetic fuel become way easier to produce, but I’m now thinking too much about climate change.
Still the noise of a V8 is irreplaceable!
V8s have a great sound, but americans have historically been very bad at getting any kind of fuel mileage out of them.
downsizing would be an idea, you could technically make a 2-3 Liter V8, but then you have the complexity of two equally performing 4-cilynder engines.
and especially ford doesn’t do mechanical complexity very well, look at the 1.0 ecoboost.
There’s nothing more American than a V8 that churns out a shockingly small amount of power and turns petrol into literally nothing.
7.2L V8 producing 200HP 💪🦅🇱🇷
and gotta have them pushrods in 2024!
Does anyone who buys a mustang care if it gets good MPG?
Certainly not a priority, but Ford still has to meet certain standards that as I understand it keeps getting tougher.
Just bring back the design from 60s and 70s and see the sales skyrocket
Except that they wouldn’t be able to sell them today.
