[QUOTE="SlowSVT, post: 15761580, member: 20202"] At this stage I think Ford is going to run the clock out on the Coyote and the Voodoo engine which will be replaced by a hybrid system. The production numbers on the Mustang have been declining with only 74K cars being built in the 2017 model year compared to nearly 200K units in 2004. I don't think the bean counters at Ford will allow big investment in engines sold in cars with such low production volume and most likely at a loss. On the other hand it won't take much investment equipping the car with a stump pulling electric motor which are much easier to develop, produce and makes for great PR with the environmentalist including the one sitting in the corner office at Ford. Time will tell but my gut tells me this is where we are headed not what you or I wish for. Besides, millennials love electric vehicles as much as their iPhones :( [/QUOTE]
