Mustang has stopped production in the United States

Semiconductor shortages are still hurting the automotive industry, and Ford is proving that. Once again, the company is forced to stop production of the Mustang. Production of the iconic car in January also had to be stopped for the same reason. A further break at the Flat Rock plant in Michigan, USA, will last all of the next week and run until 2021, when the launch of the iconic sports car was heavily affected by the lack of microchips.

Still the world's best-selling sports car, the Mustang sold just under 70,000 units worldwide last year.

It should be clarified that the number does not include the electric crossover of the same name with the prefix Mach-E. As expected, the main market for sportswear was the United States, which accounted for 76% of all sales.

The sixth generation Mustang (S550) is nearing the end of its life cycle, as the new model is expected to hit stores in 2023. The heavily disguised prototype of the novelty has been spied on several times by Western journalists. Fortunately, buyers will continue to receive a V8 engine.

According to an Autoline Daily report published early last year, the two-door Mustang will go all-electric before the end of the decade. Ford is expected to start production of the electric sports car in December 2028, when it will phase out the traditional ICE model.

Not so long ago, our publication wrote that the first photos of the interior of the 2024 Ford Mustang appeared on the web. The 2024 Ford Mustang is starting to reveal its secrets when photo spies took the first photos of the interior of the next-generation model, codenamed S650.
