Ford launches all-new Mustang

Ford has unveiled its seventh-generation Mustang, which could make its Bathurst 12 Hour debut in 2024.

Ford took the covers off its new-spec Mustang at the 2022 North American International Auto Show.

The new-look car will also race in the likes of Supercars, NASCAR and GT3.

The road-going car will be powered by the 2.3-litre EcoBoost and five-litre Coyote V8 engines.

The race cars based on the new model are yet to be formally unveiled.

However, the new aggressive look of the car offers insight into how the Gen3 Mustang Supercar will look.

The new S650 shape Mustang will debut alongside the Chevrolet Camaro in Supercars next year.

The new Mustang will debut in the NASCAR Cup Series in 2024.

In 2024, Ford will also debut in GT3 and GT4 programme, which will be run by Multimatic Motorsports.

That also leaves the door open for the GT3 Mustang to race in the 2024 Bathurst 12 Hour.

The Blue Oval has never won the Bathurst 12 Hour.

Last year, Ford Performance revealed plans for its all-new GT3 Mustang GT3 to compete in IMSA in 2024, including the 24 Hours of Daytona.

The new Mustang GT3 racer will be powered by a Ford 5.0-litre Coyote-based V8 engine developed by Ford Performance.

It will be built by long-time racing collaborator and world championship winning team, M-Sport.

The road-going Mustang has launched with a completely reimagined driving experience.

It feature an immersive digital cockpit inspired by fighter jets, complete with two large customisable digital displays.

Mark Rushbrook, Global Director of Ford Motorsport, was excited to see the new model hit circuits around the world.

“Mustang has been an iconic road car, it’s also been iconic on the race track,” Rushbrook said.

“It is the most successful nameplate we have ever had.

“It has raced from the top professional series right through to grassroots.

“Tracks such as Daytona, Indianapolis, Bathurst, we race everywhere."

Tickets for the 2023 LIQUI-MOLY Bathurst 12 Hour are now available.
