I've been keeping my eye on Ford lately, and there's some exciting stuff on the horizon. The upcoming Mustang GTD has got car enthusiasts (myself included) pretty pumped. This street-legal track car is set to hit the market either late this year or early 2025, and from what I've seen, it's going to be a beast!
Ford is really trying to balance their traditional muscle car roots with their push toward an electric future. It's a smart move - they're not alienating their core fans while still moving forward with innovation.
The Power Promise program has been extended through March 31, 2025, which is great news for anyone considering an EV purchase. They're offering either a complimentary home charger with installation (which can save you thousands) or a $1,000 cash alternative. Not too shabby!
I think what's most interesting about Ford's strategy is how they're straddling both worlds. The Mustang GTD represents the pinnacle of their gas-powered performance engineering, while their EV incentives show they're serious about the electric transition.
For potential buyers (or investors), this dual approach makes a lot of sense. They're not putting all their eggs in one basket, which seems wise given how the market is still figuring out the pace of EV adoption.
My brother-in-law just picked up a Mustang Mach-E last month, and he's been raving about it. The charging incentive was a big factor in his decision - saved him about $1,800 on installation costs. Little perks like that can really tip the scales when you're on the fence about making the EV leap.
Will the Mustang GTD be a commercial success? Hard to say for sure - it's definitely a niche product. But sometimes these halo cars do wonders for a brand's image, even if they don't sell in huge numbers.
