Hybrid Ford Mustang in the works, engineer says
Fox News
A former Ford engineer's LinkedIn account reveals that Ford has been developing four-cylinder and V8 hybrid powertrains for the next-generation Mustang that's expected to debut as a 2023 model.
Powertrain engineer Pedro Maradei lists "23MY Mustang 2.3L I4 Hybrid and 5.0L V8 Hybrid Pre-PS low and high pressure package analysis" as his most recent experience with the company," also indicating that the all-new seventh generation Mustang will debut next year as a 2023 model.
Maradei has not responded to a request for comment from Fox News Autos and a Ford spokesman would only say that he no longer works for the company without confirming any details about the new model.
Maradei's profile echoes a recent report from Automotive News that said Ford dealers were told a hybrid Mustang of some type would be on sale by 2025.
