MUSTANG COULD GET AWD HYBRID V8 AND OTHER NEWS! WEEKLY UPDATE

EV Channels Review

This weekly update from Matt Maran Motoring delves into speculative but intriguing news surrounding the Ford Mustang. The primary focus is on a patent suggesting a future all-wheel-drive hybrid V8 Mustang, potentially arriving with the 2023 model year. The reviewer speculates this could align with the return of the Mach 1 nameplate, possibly blending the Bullitt's 5.0L V8 with electric assistance for enhanced performance and torque, similar to hybrid systems in Ford's Explorer and Aviator. The article also touches upon the potential discontinuation of the GT350 and how a hybrid Mach 1 could fill a higher price point in the Mustang lineup. While acknowledging the speculative nature, the reviewer highlights the excitement around a potential V8 AWD muscle car, drawing parallels to Dodge's Challenger offerings. Other news includes updates on the Ram Rampage sketch, Rivian R1T delays, Nissan Frontier and Z speculation, Hyundai's mid-engine sports car, Honda's EV plans with GM, Mercedes EQS details, Mazda's 100th Anniversary Editions, Lexus LC 500 updates, Audi RS3 Nardo Edition, and Mini bringing back manual transmissions.
