Following the frequent exposure of spy photos of the new generation Ford Mustang , it also means that the release time of the new car is getting closer and closer. According to previous official plans, the new car is expected to be released in April 2023.

However, before the release of the new car, Ford registered a new name for the new generation of Mustang. According to the previous application information of Ford Motor , the official has applied for the "Mustang Dark Horse" trademark for the new car, and the Chinese translation is "Mustang Dark Horse".

At the same time, the official also designed a new LOGO and new car preview image for the new trademark, which is the Mustang logo presented in a blackened style. Some analysts predict that this LOGO will be used as a new high-performance model of the Mustang family, which means it will have more Ford Mustang with performance package.

Reviewing previously exposed spy photos of the new car, the new generation Ford Mustang will adopt the latest design, and the overall shape is more radical than the current model. For example, a wider air intake grille and aerodynamic kits have been added to the front face to make the new car more performant.

No detailed information about the sides and tail has been exposed yet, but some foreign media have drawn renderings based on previous spy photos. The overall design of the current Mustang is still continued, such as the fastback design, but the details have been processed.

In terms of interior, the new car will pay more attention to technological design. Looking back at previously exposed spy photos, the new car will adopt a suspended full LCD digital instrument + suspended LCD central control screen shape, which is obviously much more refined than the current model.

In terms of power, there is currently no more official news about the new car, but foreign media revealed that the car will continue to be equipped with a 2.3T four-cylinder and a 5.0L V8 engine , but will add a four-wheel drive system for the first time, matching 10-speed manual transmission.

It is expected that the new car A hybrid model with a 5.2T Predator engine will also be added.

Judging from the car's domestic positioning and pricing (369,800-401,800 yuan), the car will be a relatively entry-level sports car , but it is expected that the "dark horse" will be a model that can compete with the Toyota Supra .

In fact, it is not the first time that Ford Mustang uses a black LOGO. When Ford launched a special edition model before, the new car had already replaced the black logo and presented it with more black kits.

It’s just that the new car now has the Mustang’s logo separately blackened, which means that Ford will use more new LOGOs to strengthen the new family. Just as Ford has adopted a separate LOGO on the Lima model, and there are media reports that Ford has also registered The trademark called "Rattle", which translates to "Rattlesnake" in Chinese, is expected to represent Ford's high-performance models in the hardcore field, such as pickup trucks and SUV models.
