I’m happy they are still making V8’s but I don’t know if I would still see myself driving a V8 as a daily.
Maybe if synthetic fuel become way easier to produce, but I’m now thinking too much about climate change.
Still the noise of a V8 is irreplaceable!
I got my first one a couple years ago. It’s so nice having the torque and being able to do 100mph at 2500rpm through the middle of no where.
I am so tired of buying gas. I average 26 so not terrible but it’s premium and I commute 70 miles a day. My next car will most likely be a hybrid. I can’t justify the waste of money and resources just to have a bit of fun.
Just bring back the design from 60s and 70s and see the sales skyrocket
Except that they wouldn’t be able to sell them today.
I used to drive exclusively V8s for a long time. But EVs give you the same low end torque that allows you to rip through traffic but without the terrible fuel economy.
I wouldn’t be against an electric mustang (not an suv) with a simulated manual gearbox.
I hope one day someone is gonna create such an affordable EV dream 🤞
Toyota has a manual EV in prototyping and it even simulates stalling or lugging gears.
V8s have a great sound, but americans have historically been very bad at getting any kind of fuel mileage out of them.
downsizing would be an idea, you could technically make a 2-3 Liter V8, but then you have the complexity of two equally performing 4-cilynder engines.
and especially ford doesn’t do mechanical complexity very well, look at the 1.0 ecoboost.
Does anyone who buys a mustang care if it gets good MPG?
Certainly not a priority, but Ford still has to meet certain standards that as I understand it keeps getting tougher.
There’s nothing more American than a V8 that churns out a shockingly small amount of power and turns petrol into literally nothing.
7.2L V8 producing 200HP 💪🦅🇱🇷
and gotta have them pushrods in 2024!
Ford haven’t used pushrod mustang engines since the 4.6 from the early 90’s.
