The future of the Chevrolet Camaro is uncertain as it rides off into the distance. The development of the current-generation Dodge Challenger is also coming to an end, and when it resurfaces, a gasoline engine could not be there. The Ford Mustang will continue to be the lone pony car in Detroit for the second time in its history. Internal combustion looks to continue for the foreseeable future as well. at least in part.

That was the main point of a recent conversation Jim Farley, CEO of Ford, and Bloomberg conducted. Speaking to him after the outrageous Ford Mustang GTD made its premiere, the topic of a completely electric Mustang that wasn't a Mach-E ultimately came up. Bloomberg specifically referred to Porsche's position on not producing an all-electric 911 and questioned whether Ford's view on the conventional two-door Mustang is the same. Farley acknowledged that discussing it with Bill Ford and other business leaders would be important, but he then made an unexpected prediction for the next 10 years, which would encompass both the current and next-generation ponies.

"So when you say, could it be a Mustang coupe that is entirely electric? Nah, most likely not. But is it possible that a world-class Mustang coupe might be partially electrified? Yeah," Farley responded, as quoted by Bloomberg.

Naturally, we contacted Ford in the hopes of obtaining further details and context. Unfortunately, a firm spokeswoman said that it doesn't respond to rumors about upcoming items.

There have long been rumors about a fully electric or hybrid production Mustang coupe. Ford also already has a number of battery-electric prototypes in its fleet. Not to be forgotten is the Mustang Super Cobra Jet 1800, a drag racing-specific vehicle with 1,800 horsepower driving the rear wheels, which made its debut earlier this year. The Mustang Lithium EV, which made its premiere at SEMA in 2019, is an improvement to the Cobra Jet 1400 from 2020. Its single-motor drivetrain produced 900 horsepower and was transmitted rearward through a six-speed manual gearbox, giving it a street-smart Mustang appearance.

Ford's war horse, though, is just internal combustion for the time being. The firm just unveiled the GTD, its most potent and costliest production Mustang ever, to put an accent point on that fact. It is a road-legal version of the Mustang GT3 race vehicle and is powered by a 5.2-liter V8 supercharger with a redline of 7,500 rpm and over 800 horsepower. through achieve a nearly 50/50 weight distribution, power is sent through a brand-new rear-mounted transaxle, which is supported by a new pushrod suspension system. Due to the highly restricted production, potential purchasers must apply in a manner akin to that of the Ford GT.
