Long Live The Coyote V8!
The S650 Ford Mustang will continue to cradle the Coyote V8, but what happens after that?
The muscle car as we know it is an endangered species. Dodge is discontinuing the beloved Hellcat engine family soon, and Chevrolet is sidelining the Camaro (again), and there really isn’t anything that’s set in stone to replace it. But Ford Motor Company insists on the carrying forward with the Mustang. It’s an icon, after all, and one of those reasons it’s remained iconic — and a muscle car for that matter — is the immutable fact that it maintains the option of all the drama, vigor and sounds with a V8 engine. That will continue to be the case with the next-gen S650 Mustang that will go on sale sometime in 2023. But what about after? That’s a dilemma that the Mustang team has to solve.
