Ford Motor Company CEO, Mark Fields, announced it in a live-streamed media event held at the Flat Rock Assembly Plant. It was a HUGE bombshell. Ford will finally construct a Hybrid Mustang that will come out in 2020! Not so soon, but soon enough !

The live-streamed media event presented Ford’s electrification and automation plans for the future. Fields said that the Mustang Hybrid will “deliver V8 power and even more low-end torque.”

What do those carefully chosen words tell us? The Mustang Hybrid will probably not be paired with a V8. However, many experts predict that a twin-turbo V6 hybrid will be offered alongside a traditional gasoline powered V8 engine.

The new hybrid Mustang will not be a plug-in car. The only electricity it will use will be what is generated by the car itself and stored in a powerful battery pack.

The new Mustang would not have a substantial all-electric driving range like a plug-in hybrid, but it will most probably use a lot less gas than a similarly powerful non-hybrid Mustang.

The Mustang Hybrid will be built at the Flat Rock Assembly Plant, and will make its first appearance in North America in 2020.

Ford also announced it will make a number of other hybrid and electric models, including a hybrid version of the popular F-150 pickup and a new all-electric SUV with a fully charged driving range of 300 miles.
