Mustang name might anchor an entire family of car models

Ford demonstrated it's not afraid to toss the Mustang nameplate into unfamiliar territory when it unveiled the 2021 Mach-E (pictured), an electric crossover with four doors, and not a single part shared with the Mustang as we've known it since 1964. The company hinted it's considering capitalizing on the name's global recognition and turning it into a full family of models. "There's a lot of emotion with the Mustang, and it's time to progress that and make it spread wider," explained Murat Gueler, the head of Ford's European design department, in an interview with British magazine Autocar.
