Ford ends sixth-gen Mustang production with an EcoBoost coupe. Details here
Ford has reportedly ended production of the sixth-generation Mustang. Motor Trend has reported that the S550-generation Ford Mustang rolled off the last unit on 6th April this year. The last unit was an EcoBoost-powered Oxford White Premium Coupe variant. The sixth-gen Ford Mustang debuted in December 2013 and went on sale in 2015. Since then, the car has had several engines, including the popular 2.3-litre EcoBoost four-cylinder unit, a V6 and a 5.0-litre V8. Besides that, there was a naturally aspirated 5.2 litre V8 too.
The report states that the sixth-generation Ford Mustang has been a strong seller in its segment throughout much of its run. In 2022, the automaker announced the model was the bestselling sportscar worldwide, citing data from S&P Global Mobility. However, the auto company claimed to have sold less than 70,000 units of the car in 2021. In recent years, the car's sales struggled to make a dent.

This recent sales performance has prompted the automaker to work on the new generation model. The next-generation Ford Mustang is slated to launch later this year and is expected to go on sale early next year.
