When the two-door Mustang pony car debuted in 1964, it took America by storm. Now, 55 years later, Ford Motors is debuting that iconic name again, this time on its all-electric Mustang Mach-E – a crossover SUV that has been talked about a whole lot over the past few months.
The world will get their first look at the Mach-E on Sunday at an event scheduled in Los Angeles, California. Ford will live-stream the reveal of the new model with the assistance of actor Idris Elba, who’s set to join the Mach-E on stage, according to Motor 1.com.
Observers note that Ford has possibly learned from other makers of iconic vehicles, like Porsche, Lamborghini, and Jeep that the public will forgive them if they use a brand name on a totally different type of vehicle – that is, as long as the new vehicle retains some of the core aspects of the original. And this is what Ford has done.
Ford has no plans to stop producing its Mustang coupe – after all, it is still Ford’s signature car, worldwide. And don’t forget, Ford recently introduced the Shelby GT500, a supercharged 760-horsepower Mustang that is the most powerful factory-produced car the company has ever made, according to CNN.
The Mustang Mach-E, according to Ford, will be available in U.S., Canadian and European dealerships next fall. Online reservations for the vehicle will start following the SUV’s unveiling during Sunday’s private event, days ahead of its public debut at the L.A. Auto Show.
The global debut of the Mustang Mach-E will be streamed on Ford’s social media accounts, such as Twitter, at 9 p.m. ET Sunday. And for those interested in purchasing the Mach-E, they can go to Ford.com at the end of the reveal and reserve a Mustang Mach-E by submitting a $500 refundable deposit.
