Sales of Ford's Mustang Mach-E electric crossover have eclipsed sales of the Mustang coupe and convertible for the first time, a symbolic tipping point in June 2021 as the automaker focuses on EVs. Electrified vehicle sales grew 117-percent in June, Ford said today, though the bulk of purchases remains for hybrids and plug-in hybrids rather than purely electric models.
Ford has been participating in the NASCAR Cup Series for many years. The Mustang became the car Ford used in the racing series in 2019, where it won at least ten races each of its first two seasons, including 18 victories in 2020, leading to the manufacturers' championship for Ford. The automaker has now revealed its all-new 2022 NASCAR Next Gen Mustang that will take to the track next year.
Ford has thrown open the order books for the most potent versions of its electric crossover, with the 2021 Mustang Mach-E GT and GT Performance Edition up for sale and with confirmed power numbers. The two most horsepower-heavy iterations of the all-electric vehicle, they put the traditional, internal-combustion Mustang on notice as EVs threaten to soon eclipse them on performance.
One of the most desirable cars that Ford has ever produced is the 2020 and up Mustang Shelby GT500. One of the most desirable option packages for that car was the carbon fiber track pack, which was limited and very hard to find. Fans of the new GT500 who could get the car but couldn't get the carbon fiber track pack can add some officially sanctioned Ford Performance carbon fiber accessories to their ride.
Ford is celebrating a big milestone this coming weekend as the Ford Mustang celebrates its 57th birthday. As part of its celebration, Ford has announced that the Mustang is the world's best-selling sports car for the second year in a row. The car also retained the title of best-selling sports coupe for the sixth straight year.
Mustang fans may still be divided over whether Ford's new Mustang Mach-E electric crossover is worthy of the iconic badge, but that doesn't seem to be putting a dampener of demand for the EV. The automaker confirmed Q1 2021 sales today, and it's an impressive showing for the electric pony car, regardless of whether or not you think it deserves the nameplate.
Ford has sold almost 4,000 Mustang Mach-E so far this year, the automaker said today, as some buyers of the electric crossover found they'd been given an unexpected extra free charging treat. Sales for the newest Mustang - and the most controversial - hit 3,739 cars in February 2021, the first full month of availability.
Shelby American has been building awesome cars for decades, and its latest creation is one of the coolest Mustangs the company has ever built. The car is the Shelby GT500CR, known as the Carbon Edition, and the company is only building 25 of the limited-edition 1967/1968 supercars. Of the 25 unit production run, only ten remain available to purchase.
Brand your new electric crossover a Mustang, and you set it up for some big expectations. Ford wasn't making life easy for the 2021 Mustang Mach-E, risking the reputation of its muscle car brand on a category it had yet to prove itself in. "Should it drive like it looks?" That's the question I couldn't help but ask, as I faced the Mach-E across an empty pop-up autocross track.
Ford has a new, faster Mustang Mach-E in the pipeline, and if your lodestar is the quickest vehicle with a pony badge then the electric crossover may end up being your port of call. The Mustang Mach-E GT Performance Edition doesn't quite slot in as the big daddy of the Mustang range, but it's definitely putting its coupe and convertible brethren on notice.
Any car person who's been to a car show knows that there are plenty of people out there who buy regular versions of sports cars, like the Mustang, and then make them up to look like limited-edition versions. This practice can muddy the waters for real versions of these performance cars, such as the GT350 and GT350R.
Ford has priced up the 2021 Mustang Mach 1, and there's surprisingly good news if the limited-edition coupe has caught your eye. Slotting in between the Mustang Bullitt and the Shelby GT350, the Mach 1 doesn't quite hit that speed itself, but the big pricing reveal does mark the 73rd anniversary of the time Chuck Yeager did.
