Mid-Engined Ford Mustang Unveiling at Monterey Car Week

With the recent release of the S650 generation Ford Mustang, the iconic car brand has ensured that there is a Mustang for every type of driver. However, it seems that Ford is not content with just offering a variety of models, as they are now rumored to be working on something even more exciting: a mid-engined Mustang to rival the Chevrolet Corvette.

According to reports, the American automaker has been teasing the arrival of a "special project" that promises to have the "performance of a supercar." This mysterious sports car is set to be unveiled at the highly anticipated Monterey Car Week. Despite the lack of concrete details, automotive enthusiasts are buzzing with anticipation.

Road & Track, a trusted source in the automotive industry, has noted that the media invitation for the unveiling does not explicitly mention the Mustang brand. However, there is one clue that suggests the presence of a mid-engined Mustang: a carbon fiber Mustang pony logo.

While it is possible that this "special project" could be the highly anticipated Shelby GT500, which is rumored to be released in 2025, the absence of the Shelby name in the media invitation raises suspicions. Many signs seem to point towards the unveiling of a mid-engined Mustang, which would undoubtedly be a game-changer in the sports car market.
