World’s hottest hybrid? Ford Mustang Hybrid looms as full battery-electric muscle car to rival Dodge Charger Daytona ruled out

AutoExec Summary
Ford has announced its plans to introduce electrified versions of the Ford Mustang coupe and convertible for the first time in its 60-year history. However, the company has no intentions of creating a fully battery-electric model to compete with the powerful 50kW Dodge Charger Daytona. In an interview with Autocar, Ford CEO Jim Farley expressed the belief that partial electric powertrains would benefit performance drivers. It is speculated that Ford may opt for hybrid or plug-in hybrid powertrains, with a plug-in version possibly combining with the 5.0-litre V8 engine. Farley also hinted at the addition of a new fast four-door model to the Ford Mustang lineup. The company aims to maintain the essence of the Mustang while exploring new body forms with performance and attitude. Farley emphasized that Ford will not venture into all-electric Mustangs but is considering electrified versions to appeal to European markets.
