2018 Ford Mustang facelift may sport 10-speed auto - report
A report claims that the Ford Mustang is due for a facelift in 2017, with a 10-speed automatic a possibility for the revised car.
According to Automotive News, a facelift for the Ford Mustang coupe and convertible is due in time for the 2018 model year, which in the US typically means a debut during the 2017 calendar year.
The update will likely include a new front fascia for the well-received sports car. More significantly, the company is investigating whether it will offer the option of a 10-speed automatic transmission in the updated pony car. The current Mustang comes fitted with a six-speed manual as standard, and a six-speed automatic as an optional extra.
One of the industry publication's sources also indicated that the company will launch a high performance Mach 1 Edition around that 2017/2018 timeframe, although no specifics were provided about this vehicle; the Mach 1 nameplate was last used in 2004.
So far, the new Mustang has been hot seller in its homeland. From the beginning of the year until the end of June 76,772 Mustangs have found new homes in the USA, up 51 percent on the same time in 2014.
