2024 FORD MUSTANG: EVERYTHING WE KNOW

Ford's seventh-generation pony car debuts in September 2022. Our exclusive renderings suggest an evolutionary approach to styling.

The age of automobiles with internal-combustion engines is nearly over, but it's not over yet for the Ford Mustang. An all-new pony car will debut in September 2022, and while we don't know the long-term plan for Ford's enduring war horse, the seventh generation will start the same way the first gen did nearly 60 years ago: by converting gasoline into noise, tire smoke, and grins.

We've seen camouflaged Mustang prototypes out and about for several months now, in coupe and convertible format. Ford officials have also dropped some hints about what's coming for the next-gen car, and some of those "hints" have been straight-up confirmations. As such, there's quite a bit we already know about the forthcoming Mustang, from styling cues to mechanical components.

2024 Ford Mustang Powertrain

While the Dodge Challenger is poised to lose its V8 for the next generation, Ford Mustang buyers can still get one. An early spy video captured a V8 Mustang prototype on the move, clearly emitting a throaty soundtrack. Sometime later, a Ford executive straight-up confirmed that yes, the new Mustang will keep its V8 engine. That almost certainly means the 5.0-liter V8, which could be massaged to produce a bit more than the 450 horsepower currently offered.
