Last week was Mustang week, with launch events on four different continents. By 2015 shines the sleek coupé also on our market, with the 2.3 Ecoboost or 5.0 V8. But, now Ford with the Mustang more explicit about your own boundaries, look, not even time for alternative propulsion and fuel?

On the sidelines of the Go Further-events were of course various interviews, including one with Bob Fascetti, the powertrain boss. Herein he indicates that Ford nothing excludes, therefore, also a hybrid – or diesel-Mustang.

The Mustang has been and remains a liefhebbersauto, huge volumes will not be deposited there, the Ford Focus. However, a nice motorization does much for your image, and Europe is hooked on diesel. Not without success, we see the German brands also one souped-up diesel after the other their factories from pumping, why would there not be a koppelsterke Mustang-zelfontbrander in addition to fit?

We explained the above to Ford the Netherlands, but they will not tell you more than that in the short term is unlikely, and furthermore it is not known whether there are any plans on dieselgebied. Personally seems like a hybrid Mustang to me more likely than a diesel Mustang, because the former paper is nice and clean and economical to make, and also better applicable worldwide. If you have a lot of torque, then you take the V8 but.

In the call, we have informed immediately to a possible power-diesel line in the lower segments, a la GTD from Volkswagen, but this has the Dutch importer still no sounds collected. Market specific are extra potent diesels made in the United Kingdom, for example, but whether a Ford Focus STD on the English market scores? Maybe with a little name change…
