Teasing a 4-Door Mustang. Because Nothing is Sacred Anymore
Ford is at it again—this time, turning the legendary Mustang into a four-door sedan. Yes, you read that right. After already slapping the Mustang badge on the all-electric Mach-E, they’ve decided the next logical step is to stretch out the pony car and give it more doors. Because why not?
What We Know So Far:
Unveiled during a dealer presentation, but Ford hasn’t officially confirmed it (maybe they’re testing the waters before the inevitable backlash).
Expected to offer more practicality—because that’s what people have been begging for in a Mustang, right?
Likely to share design elements and powertrains with the two-door, possibly keeping the V8 (which, let’s be honest, is the only redeeming part of this idea).
Ford claims this is about expanding the Mustang brand, which we all know means it needs to make more money. Stay tuned to see if it happens.
