Ford Mustang stays loyal to the V8 engine

In 1964, Ford introduced a series of cars with, currently, the longest manufactured nameplate, the Ford Mustang. After six decades and six generations of this model, Ford still remains loyal to the V8 engine, despite the fact that most manufacturers have completely abandoned internal combustion engines.

The seventh generation will be powered by a 5-liter naturally aspirated Coyote V8 engine with 486 – 500 hp (362 – 373 kW), depending on the market. The Mustang is an icon of the American auto industry and has been one of the best-selling sports cars for years, and soon it could get a GTD version based on the Mustang GT3 racer. The GT3 was developed in cooperation with M-Sport and is powered by the Coyote engine-based 5.4L naturally aspirated V8. However, the GTD will be powered by a 5.2-liter V8 engine with more than 800 hp (597 kW).

Their main competitors in the American market, Chevrolet and Dodge do not share the same opinion when it comes to V8 engines. The Camaro and Challenger models are no longer available with this type of engine, leaving muscle car fans without the sound of their thunder.

Last summer, Ford introduced the fully electric Mustang Mach-E Rally powered by two electric motors, one on each axle, with a total output of 480 hp (353 kW) and 652 lb-ft (884 Nm) of torque. This caused a lot of resentment among fans of this model, and Ford tried to calm it down a bit with the Ford Mustang EcoBoost model, which is powered by a 2.3-liter four-cylinder turbo gasoline engine with 315 hp (235 kW) and 350 lb-ft (475 Nm) of torque.

Mustang Mach-E SSP

After introducing its first all-electric Mustang Mach-E model, Ford has now unveiled a police version of this car called the Mustang Mach-E SSP.

The car was made for England’s Metropolitan Police Force, which will test its capabilities. With more interior space, significantly lower maintenance costs and zero-emission operation, it has attracted the attention of police administrations in the UK.

The body of the Mustang is painted in British police colors, with police markings. It is equipped with the MagneRide Damping System, an adaptive suspension technology that ensures drivers with an exciting and comfortable ride.

The first all-electric Mustang is powered by two electric motors with 480 hp (358 Kw) and 634 lb-ft (860 Nm) of torque. Accelerates to 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds. It is equipped with an 88 kWh extended range battery pack that produces enough juice for a range of 260 miles (419 kilometers).

It rides on 20-inch machined-face aluminum wheels with high-gloss Ebony Black-painted pockets paired with 245 / 45R20 Pirelli tires.

Ford has also, in the past, supplied police with its Mustang SSP models. Each police car was equipped with a 5.0-liter V8 engine with additional durability and functionality upgrades, to successfully serve its purpose.

Mustang Mach-E: 100 years of Ford in one man’s life

Ford allowed one of its fans to drive a Mustang Mach-E. It is Mr. Harold Baggott who is celebrating his 101st birthday.

He started driving in 1930 when he was 10 years old. The first vehicle he drove was the milkman’s delivery float on his farm, a Ford T. Since 1937, when he was licensed, Mr. Harold Baggott owned 20 Ford models, and the first model he bought was a Ford 8 Popular.

“Since the age of 10, I’ve retained my interest in motoring and today find myself interested in the switch to electrification following the government phasing out the traditional combustion engines I’m used to. I have reminisced about my driving history with the Model T and seen what the future has in store. It was exciting to get behind the wheel of what I expect to see my great-grandchildren will be driving, ”said Mr. Harold Baggott.

Enjoying the ride of the new Mustang Mach-E, Mr. Baggott was particularly impressed with the performance and “sound” produced by this electric car. His two great-grandchildren were in the car with him. The Baggott family is a big fan of Ford cars, as evidenced by the fact that it owns 140 units.
