NEW Fox News articles can now be heard on audio! When it originally went on sale in 1964, the Ford Mustang was one of the first pony cars. It now appears that it will also be the final gas-powered pony car.

On September 14, the seventh-generation Mustang is expected to be unveiled at the Detroit Auto Show.

Despite the firm and the automotive industry’s shift toward electric vehicles, Ford stated that it will still have a V8 engine and a six-speed manual transmission.

Dodge, its crosstown rival, has already made the announcement that it will stop producing V8-powered vehicles at the end of next year and replace them with the Charger Daytona SRT.

However, Ford’s Mustang is its flagship model and the final vehicle it will sell here.

Autoforecast Solutions predicts that it will likely continue to be available with internal combustion engines through 2029, although it appears that will be the end of the line.
