Ford Says It Plans To Build V8 Mustangs Until The Heat Death Of The Universe (Or Uncle Sam Bans Them)

All across the industry, automakers are dropping their V8s in favor of smaller, more efficient engines with fewer cylinders. That sucks for enthusiasts, but there’s no getting around the fact that climate change is real, and humans caused it, so what are you going to do? Even the next-generation Dodge Charger won’t get a V8, and that’s coming from the company that was willing to sell you a 1,000-hp Challenger Demon 170. When it comes to the Mustang, though, Motor1 reports the V8 isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.

Speaking to a group of reporters at an event celebrating the beginning of the 2024 racing season, Ford CEO Jim Farley reportedly made a number of comments about how important the V8 engine is to the Ford Mustang. From the sound of it, he believes you can’t have a Mustang that doesn’t offer a V8.(Unless it’s an electric crossover, of course. Although, if you do own a Mustang Mach-E and want it to sound like it has a V8, you can always buy a fake exhaust from Borla.)
