D Since the appearance of the Mach-E, there has been a lot of comment about the possible disappearance of the internal combustion Mustang for several reasons, including a very particular one that has been reinforced thanks to the profound energy transformation of the automotive industry: electrification. Many brands, including Ford, have already started their way towards neutrality of their productions, which are rapidly moving towards fully electric models. In that context, the Mustang Mach-E would outperform the traditional model if it succeeded in winning the preference of the American public, which has been fascinated by the internal combustion Mustang for more than 50 years.

According to The Drive, despite these profound changes, it is very difficult for the rumors of the complete disappearance of the traditional Mustang to end up being true , at least not until 2030, year in which it is assumed that there will still be a new version of this car named under the code S 650, which would be scheduled to debut next year. All of this will be possible if Ford’s operations recover from the semiconductor shortage, an issue that continues to plague the company and has led it to discontinue the production of your Bronco 2021 .
