A hybrid electric Mustang? That cuts against the current trend in muscle cars. The trend is performance.
This topic on future design has centered on future power plants. Why did Ford kill the V6 Mustang?
The only answer I can think of is the trend is toward performance. Why did I buy a '17 V6 Mustang?
Ans: It was the future now. 87 Oct pump gas. 32 mpg on highway. Favorable insurance rate.
Better front rear balance. Quicker lighter steering feel. Paddle shifting AT 6 speed is mature-reliable.
Draw backs? Out of the hole it will not stay with any 5.0/SS/Helcat etc. Seeing as I have never burned out
because that ruins tires and avoid drag racing because high torque induces abnormal drive line wear
I just don't need 500 HP nor do I want it. From 40 to 120 the 3.7L V6 gives everything you could want
in a performance car. And sounds rather cool giving it to you. Hard driving, 80-90 mph highway runs
at 27 mpg. So what is the hybrid purpose? If you drive a hybrid hard you get 24 mpg. Performance
wise the V6-3.7L will suck the grill off hybrids. I plan a BAMA tune, BBK ceramic headers, cold air kit,
axle backs, and B&M shift kit. However, right now in stock trim, straight NHTSB factory setup, the car
does not beg for any mods, and is a pleasure to drive. Therefore, take one of the above flying saucer
looking future Mustang designs and insert a 3.7L V6 iVCT 4 valve, and the future looks great.
