The Ford Mustang lineup has never been stronger, as the recent motorsports push through special variants like the Mustang Dark Horse R has demonstrated. Additionally, The Blue Oval clearly intends to push boundaries as to what the Mustang brand represents in the modern era, with the upcoming Ford Mustang Mach-E Rally serving as evidence that the company won’t let its treasured nameplate stagnate in one particular lane. Later this week, the company is planning on essentially doubling down on that ethos with plans to debut the first-ever mid-engine Mustang, according to sources familiar with the matter.
More at link, but no pics yet. https://fordauthority.com/2023/08/ford-to-debut-mid-engine-mustang-this-thursday-exclusive/amp/ Update: Leaked pics appear to be legit. Apparently it is being dubbed "GTD". Updated with leaked pics. It is supposed to debut at Pebble Beach today (Aug 17) "between 5pm and 7pm". I'm assuming that is Pacific time.

I've wanted an affordable mid-engine for a while now. I hoped it would come from Toyota, but it'd be nice if this was affordable and not electric.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Better not be some electric puke ?? Would they be allowed to call it a mid-ENGINE? I've always been told EVs run on motors, not engines. That could be totally bogus info though. Will have to wait and see. Fingers crossed for an ICE. |

Oh god...Ford is going to royally fuck this up without questions.
Remember that last cool thing Ford did? The 5.2L voodoo flat plane....well the retards at ford managed to make a flat plane v8 sound like a bag of smashed ass holes screaming for help. A flat plane is supposed to sound like a symphony of dead dinosaur juice exploding under pressure and FIRE! Instead they made a nasty sounding engine that sounds like a hoarse coyote is shitting out a stuck rock |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Better not be some electric puke ?? That wouldn't qualify as "mid-engine", now would it? AFAIK, no EV has ever been described as "mid-engine", regardless of where the motors are. And electric motors are pretty much exclusively labeled as "motors", and not "engines", while internal combustion engines are sometimes called "motors". |

It's too bad the Fiero grows rust like it's rare. I worked with a Fiero enthusiast that owned 8 or 10 at the time, and almost sucked me in.

They need to fuck off.
Call it a GT or something else. This ruining things that have tradition and meaning to appease the have nothing youngsters pisses me off to no end. The DEI inclusion crossover "mustang" is a fucking joke. The Bruce Jenner of the automotive world insisting people call it something it is not, the crossover for cross dressers, the TranE. Those that do not seem to get why I hate it so much. Try going to craigslist while shopping for an actual Mustang. Results get polluted with bullshit returns because little timmy the retarded window licking helmet wearing crossover now slips through the filters. Fuck off. |

I know it's probably unlikely, but if it's a Corvette competitor, I'm absolutely ordering one first day they open up. My current 16 GT is my favorite car I've ever owned, and was planning on adding a C8 to the stable next.

I think this may be the new model the company I work for is supplying a part for. Very low volume: 650 EAU.
I heard they have this one then another special model coming out that will be higher volume. They will be the last gasp of the ICE Mustang. |

So now the Mustang is a 'brand' and not a model?
 They're doing their best to stretch the Mustang nameplate into oblivion, which is something usually reserved for GM. |
