Ford has unwrapped its new seventh-generation Ford Mustang, which could be the final model in the icon's 58-year history.
Launched at a huge outdoor event following the opening of the reborn Detroit motor show, the Mustang will hit the UK next year. Featuring a bolder take on the classic Ford model's look, the new 2023 Mustang remains on the previous generation's $550 platform - rather than being based on Ford's latest CD6 architecture, which underpins the current US-spec Ford Explorer.
That means the new Mustang, codenamed S650, is more of a comprehensive reskin of the current model and will miss out on not only the long-rumoured electrified powertrains but also the US car brand's next-generation autonomous driving aids.
