Are you ready for the all-new 2024 Ford Mustang? Ford has unveiled exciting details about the new Mustang lineup for 2024, and we have more Ford Mustang news than you can shake a bridle at. In this episode of America on the Road we’ll present comprehensive details on the complete 2024 lineup. It includes both a turbocharged four-cylinder-powered Mustang and a V-8-powered version. No, the V-8 isn’t dead.
But there’s even more. Ford is doubling down on V-8 power by announcing a completely new variant, the first in more than two decades. The 2024 Ford Mustang Dark Horse features sinister yet sophisticated exterior and interior styling — styling that broadly hints at the high performance expected from its well-sorted suspension and 500-horsepower V-8 engine. Ford claims the Dark Horse with its available handling package will be the most track-capable, 5.0-liter V8 street-legal Mustang ever. It boasts upgrades in aerodynamics, hardware, software, and tuning. For those who love throwbacks, it will offer a six-speed manual transmission.
In the road test segment, we will have two high-performance vehicles for you to drool over. Co-host Chris Teague was at the wheel of the 2022 Mercedes-AMG GLB 35. While the crossover SUV might look mundane its performance is anything but.
Also in the road test segment Host Jack Nerad took control of the very limited-edition 2022 Lexus RC F Fuji. Just 50 of these luxury sports cars will be forthcoming from Lexus. And the car adds to the performance of the already impressive RC F by subtracting weight.
In this week’s interview, we will be covering an important but under-reported story — electric-vehicle fires and emergency response. Joe McClaine is a General Motors Electric Vehicle safety engineer, and he will tell us about a special effort GM is making to ensure first responders know how to deal with electric vehicle fires. It’s a fascinating look at a story you’ll find nowhere else.
All that and more coming up in this episode of America on the Road.
