Is Ford going to produce a new 2025 Mustang?
Yes! Ford redesigned its iconic American sports coupe for the 2024 model year, making this new Mustang the second entry in the seventh-generation. And because 2025 marks the Mustang’s 60th anniversary, Ford is offering a limited-edition appearance package that celebrates with vintage styling, including exclusive side graphics and exterior colors (Race Red, Wimbledon White, and Vapor Blue)!
