Electric Mustang has this been reported? If so never mind.

Don’t do it Ford! You’ll be sorry.

Can't have a Explorer that's faster than the Mustang. Anyways this name will not do any harm to the Mustang car, but perhaps Ford is anticipating a decline in car sales as we now know the Camaro will most likely get the axe and the future of the Dodge Charger is questionable.

New Shelby does 3.3
Original 427 Cobra 4.3
1968 KR only 5.6

Mach E sounds pretty good at 3.0
Don't race for pinks with your gasser.

All depends on how far you're racing. I'll take my wife's 120K mile Kia Forte and race any just about EV from Seattle to Spokane. 😉

I would take that bet...if I owned a model S. 🙂

Imagine the movie “Bullitt”, and Steve McQueen’s character driving a Mach E, but his nemesis still driving a 1968 375 hp 440 Magnum V8-powered Dodge Charger. The chase scene just wouldn’t sound the same. 😞

Grit, while I wouldn’t have any problem with them reusing the Pinto name on this........ahem, technological nightmare, I can’t abide the thought of sullying the Thunderbird name by putting it on this EV. Unless they come up with a nuclear power plant for a new Tbird (fission or fusion, doesn’t matter), Ford needs to tread lightly with that name. Tbird enthusiasts can be pretty passionate too. :M

I think Ford should have oriented the faux grill on the front vertically instead of horizontally, and resurrected the Edsel name for this turkey.

Says Ford's target is mid 3s 0-60, but that's still hauling the mail!

Ha, just looked at the Ford add. 3 sec 0-60 is no joke, but otherwise, looks like another Mc SUVmobile.
Mustang? Really?
At least call it some other popular defunct Ford name like Thunderturd or Falcon or Pinto....

THAT'S IT! It's the 2021 Ford Pinto Bean! Or maybe PEENTO since it's E powered!

(which also sounds like a dish from the Mehican restaurant...I see a theme)

The long wheel base version could be the EEnchilada then....

D@mn, Ford should hire me for their marketing...

LOL. 🙂

I think they still have a gas version too don’t they? Not sure.

Yes they have a gas Mustang. However this crossover is not and never will be a Mustang!

They could call the new ones Mousestangs. You know, quiet as a mouse....
Or probably sell more though if they called them Libveganstangs!

Or a mesteño reflecting its Mexican heritage and manufacture. 🙂

No, that sounds more like something I just did in the washroom or the #12 meal at the Mexican restaurant....

I wonder how many EV naysayers on here are going to suddenly think EV's are the best thing since sliced bread because it has "Ford" in it's name?

I can assure you that it won't be me. Most of the vehicles that I have owned have been Ford and I have been a fan of the Mustang ever since it came out. I have a 66 Fastback Mustang and a 69 Cougar convertible in my garage. If they go to all electric vehicles I'd rather see the Mustang name die rather than be electric. If it has an electric motor in it it's not a Mustang to me and I bet a lot of other diehard Mustang fans will feel the same way.

How about if EV Mustang was like this
