2025 Ford Mustang 60th Anniversary

In 1964, Ford began production of a series of automobiles with the longest-produced car nameplate, the Ford Mustang. Six decades have passed since then, and on this occasion the American manufacturer will produce 1,965 copies of the special edition Ford Mustang 60th Anniversary.

Under the bonnet will be the familiar 5.0-L naturally aspirated V8 engine with 486 hp (362 kW) at 7,250 rpm and 418 lb-ft (567 Nm) of torque at 4,900 rpm. Power is sent to the rear axle via a 6-speed manual or 10-speed automatic transmission.

This model will be available to customers who opt for the Mustang GT version and will be able to choose between two body styles (Cabrio and Coupe) and three body colors that are matched to the colors in the richly equipped and leather-covered cabin with an unavoidable plaque that is a reminder of the special and numerically limited edition that will be on sale at the end of the year.

What sets this special edition apart from the standard version are lower side appliqués, honeycomb grille elements, and 20-inch wheels with red center caps that are modeled after those of the 1965 Mustang. The housings of the front lights are darkened, while the color of the rear-view mirror housings should be associated with chrome.

Ford produces one pick-up truck every half minute

Full-size pickup trucks are one of the most popular vehicles in America, and Ford is now officially the world’s largest seller of this type of vehicle. In 2023, Ford sold 1,081,777 pickup trucks, which is far better than the competition. This American manufacturer produces one pick-up every half a minute, which is a remarkable result.

In 1948, Ford produced its first pick-up from the F-Series, which replaced previous pickups based on car platforms. The F-150 model is currently in its 14th generation, which goes on sale from June 2020, and in 2010, a series of performance pickup trucks was launched.

Currently, Ford has several powertrain options in its fleet, including 2.7-L, 3.3L and 3.5-L EcoBoost twin-turbo V6 gasoline engines, a 3.0-L V6 turbodiesel, while the 5.0 -L V8 engine at the top of the range. All engines are paired with a ten-speed automatic gearbox instead of the six-speed manual gearbox that was offered until now.

In 2021, Ford started production of its first fully electric pick-up, the F-150 Lightning, which eventually became their best-selling electric model. The intention was to change people’s view of electric cars and Ford as a brand. The starting price of this model is $49,995. The Super Duty version costs $44,970 without upgrades, when the price can go over $100,000 if customers choose the F-450 Limited version, for example.

When it comes to the prices of the other models, the Maverick starts at $23,815 while the Ranger is slightly more expensive and starts at $32,670. The most popular is the F-150 with a starting price of $36,770.

2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E with longer range

In 2021, Ford introduced its first all-electric crossover, the Mustang Mach-E, and now a refreshed edition of this model has arrived, bringing more torque and a longer range.

This electric crossover comes in options with one and two electric motors. The version with two electric motors has 480 hp (353 kW) and 712 lb-ft (965 Nm) of torque, which is more than the previous 612 lb-ft (830 Nm). That’s enough power to push the car from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.5 seconds (0.2 seconds faster than its predecessor), which is better than the Tesla Y Performance and Porsche Macan 4. The range has also been increased to 320 miles (515 km), which is around 10–20 miles further than the previous model.

The version with one electric motor is equipped with a 98.7 kWh battery, which now provides a range of up to 640 kilometers on a single charge. Also, the battery is charged from 10 to 80 percent in a shorter time (- 9 minutes).

The exterior of the car has not been changed, but in addition to the improved performance of the GT version, there are also new sports front seats, Brembo front brakes and MagneRide suspension with adaptive shock absorbers.
