Ford is continuing to fuel the Mustang legacy with exciting possibilities for the future, including the potential addition of a four-door variant to the lineup. In an interview at the Detroit Auto Show, Ford’s executive chairman, Bill Ford, revealed that the company is exploring various new directions for the iconic pony car, emphasizing that the Mustang brand will remain a central part of Ford’s future. He shared that as long as he’s part of Ford, the Mustang will be a priority, stating, “I’ll never let Mustang go. It will always be part of Ford.”

Ford’s commitment to the Mustang extends beyond its classic two-door coupe. The company is reportedly considering expanding the brand, with plans including a four-door version of the Mustang. While the specifics have not been confirmed, mockups and renderings were reportedly shown to dealers in 2024. This could indicate that Ford is serious about exploring this new configuration. Bill Ford hinted at this possibility, mentioning that “there’s all kinds of possibilities” for the Mustang, although he did not confirm exactly what the next step will be.

The idea of a four-door Mustang would align with Ford’s strategy to push the boundaries of the muscle car segment, especially as other automakers, like General Motors and Stellantis, have moved away from traditional muscle cars or faced challenges with their upcoming models. In addition to the potential four-door model, Ford is also working on exciting new configurations, including a four-wheel drive off-road version of the Mustang called the Baja, and a high-performance RTR variant for the EcoBoost lineup. For fans of the classic muscle car, the Mustang GTD is expected to debut in 2025, alongside a new series titled the Spirit of America.

Looking further ahead, Ford may expand the Mustang lineup with new performance models that don’t rely on the Shelby name. There’s even speculation about the return of the legendary Boss model, with rumors pointing to a Dark Horse Boss variant. Ford is clearly dedicated to keeping the Mustang fresh and relevant, with a mix of modern innovations and a nod to its rich heritage, ensuring the Mustang continues to captivate car enthusiasts for years to come.
