It Looks Like The V6 Ford Mustang Is About To Die

Particularly to us Europeans who aren’t even sold the damn thing, the entry-level V6 Mustang seems a bit of an oddity. Surely it’s a little superfluous given the existence of the more powerful, only slightly more expensive 2.3-litre Ecoboost model?

It seems Ford has decided it is indeed a little needless in the range, as new information dug up on a dealer ordering system by someone on the Mustang6G forum indicates the V6 won’t live past the car’s incoming facelift.

Both the V6 coupe and V6 convertible are conspicuously absent from the various options available, but in taking away the six-banger, Ford has added some spangly new parts for the 2018 model year.

The Blue Oval’s new 10-speed automatic gearbox will become optional - replacing the old six-speed - and magnetic dampers will be available on both the Ecoboost and GT.

How do you feel about the V6’s impending doom?

This is exactly how car guys see v6 mustangs,fake cars

The v6 mustang is awsome

It’s better than what you have ;).

I knew i will start a war by posting this but this is the truth,when you think about a mustang you are immediatly thinking about a 5.0L V8 ,not a puny V6,eventhough I dont own a car because im not even allowed to own one in my country,the truth is just that V6 mustangs are just like fake M badged BMWs

10 speed gearbox you say?

The Camaro already has one. GM claim it shifts faster than a PDK…

Well I will miss it because it was the first (and only) sports car I have ever been in (and yes, it was a rental)

And it’s my first muscle car. I really hope this isn’t true.

“The Ford Mustang will get a 10 speed gearbox in 2018”

as long as they don’t kill the V8 they can do whatever they want
even make an electric mustang to keep environmentalists happy and be able to sell the V8 alongside
