Ford's new Mustang keeps old-fashioned horsepower alive

DETROIT, Sept 14 (Reuters) - Detroit's automakers say they are ready to go all-electric, but at the Motor City's auto show this week they are adding a caveat: not just yet.

Ford Motor Co (F.N) on Wednesday will unveil the seventh-generation of its Mustang sports car in downtown Detroit, underscoring the challenges Motor City automakers face as they straddle the gap between their combustion glory days and an uncertain electric future.

The newly redesigned Mustang, heir to an icon of the 1960s and the Baby Boomer generation of those born after World War II, will still burn gasoline, just like the original. In contrast, rival Stellantis NV's Dodge is phasing out its V-8 powered, gas-burning, high-performance sports cars next year.

The Mustang will be one of the few new vehicles revealed at this week's North American International Auto Show in Detroit - the first since 2019 after the COVID-19 pandemic halted the annual tradition.
