The 2023 Ford Mustang: Everything You Need to Know
Published on:
Believe it or not, Ford debuted the sixth-generation Mustang all the way back in December 2013. The all-new seventh-generation Mustang — reportedly codenamed S650 — should be arriving very soon, as a 2023 model year vehicle. In fact, 2022 is the last year of the current, S550-generation Ford Mustang. In March 2023, the next generation of the pony car will be making its debut and it is going to feature a hybrid powertrain.
Ford has the Mustang Mach-E now, which offers a Mustang-branded car that is far more efficient and practical, and has an all-wheel drive. That should free up the conventional Mustang to remain very much a good old-fashioned Mustang, at least for the current generation.
While the Mustang name is iconic, it has birthed a new body style — the ’Muscle car.’ This new style has transformed the automotive landscape for good by not only creating some of the fiercest rivalries but also some of the strongest friendships. This is automotive Nirvana. Now, for the first time in six decades, the Mustang is set to undergo some of the most radical changes ever.
Spearheading the new Mustang will be the Coyote V8, which for all intents and purposes, has come to be synonymous with the Mustang nameplate itself. While the car is yet to lose its covers, there’s plenty we have been able to gather so far about the 2023 Mustang GT.
The new face of the 2023 Ford Mustang
The S650 Mustang should not be a radical departure, looks-wise, from the previous generation. The car will most likely use an evolution of the current platform code-named S550. But the S650 should be getting a new front end to differentiate itself from its predecessor.
Ford Authority obtained what appears to be a spy photo of the new Mustang with its front fascia uncovered. And what may be another leaked photo popped up on a Facebook account as well.
