A choice that will almost become an obligation for most car manufacturers, given that engines such as the famous V8 they are destined to retire (due to emissions and related traffic laws). But these announcements confirm that the American mass audience doesn't care too much about tradition or the roar of the engine. The Mustang Mach-E, in fact, has very little to do with the traditional model, starting with the SUV-style aesthetics.
A figure similar to the US one arrives, on the European front, from Norway and is relative in May. Again, the Mustang Mach-E surpassed the sales of the petrol model by capturing 10% of the market in the whole country (ahead of Toyota and Skoda). However, there is talk of 1,384 cars, only a first step towards farewell to diesel and petrol. A milestone that Norway wants to overcome first, by blocking sales of heat-engine cars by 2025.
Returning to the Mustang Mach-E, if the path towards overcoming the historical ancestor is still long, the path taken seems to be the right one. The same model had already bothered Tesla in recent months, a sign that Ford has perhaps found the right solution to the EV puzzle. Of course, the final word will come from sales figures, considering that the original Mustang is still something of a symbol for the United States. A symbol that could become much quieter in the next few years, with all due respect to the Steve McQueen imitators.
