Ford is taking the sixth-generation Mustang off the production line

Sales of the Ford Mustang Muscle Car are starting to falter, but the Yankees aren’t ready to give it up altogether. The new, “seventh” generation of the cult model was shown last fall, but only now went on sale. The current generation is finally going to rest.

The sixth generation of the “horse” appeared in December 2013, and mass production began in 2014. It was in this version that the model became global: it was even supposed to be officially delivered to Russia, but the plans were not destined to come true. Now we can meet copies imported via parallel import. Prices for muscle cars with a mileage of about 8,000 km start at 6,000,000 rubles. Moreover, if the odometer shows about 60,000 km, then the price drops to 3,000,000 rubles.

Interestingly, the popularity of cars in the domestic market has been steadily decreasing since 2016. The Ford legend has lately been overtaken by the Dodge Challenger coupe and there is no trend change in sight.

Against this sour backdrop, the Flat Rock, Michigan plant is beginning to set up equipment to assemble the seventh-generation model. Fresh Mustang has a 2.3-liter “four” and a five-liter V8. Marketers call them completely new, but bloggers found out that these are still old units, although modified. And judging by the fact that the position of the car is unimportant even in the United States, let’s say that in a few years the “horse” will finally be “shot”, that is, will be taken out of production.
