The automotive industry is flooded with rumors that Ford Mustang might start <\/span>selling car<\/span><\/a> model with a four-door, turbocharged V8<\/span> in the future. Apparently, the new car will compete with the likes of $86,000 Porsche Panamera and $68,000 Audi A7. <\/span><\/p>\n

Although we do not know if the rumor has any substance to it, it sounds odd for a variety of reason, the price bracket being one of them. This could be a bold move on the automaker\u2019s part and it will either help it crack new markets or annoy its existing fan base.<\/span><\/p>\n

A Four Door Car Is Inevitable<\/b><\/h3>\n

The truth is that sales of two-door cars haven\u2019t been so strong in recent times and four-door coupes are all the rage. Why else do you think that the Kia Stinger has four doors or BMW calls its four-door 4-Series a Gran Coupe? That\u2019s why it would be hardly surprising to see Ford Mustang throw in the towel.<\/span><\/p>\n

As you probably already know, Mustang is a statement car with two doors and a pony car body style. It is not an obvious choice like Porsche, which is one of the reason it has its own following. Mustang is a strong brand and it many ways it makes sense to use that brand equity to penetrate other markets by creating a new version.<\/span><\/p>\n

A two-door car doesn\u2019t suit most people, especially families with more than two members. <\/span><\/p>\n

On the other hand, a four-door Mustang can help Ford attract buyers who have a thing for Mustang but have been holding off because of its two doors.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ford also has the relative experience: it has previously built four-door cars that received a lot of traction such as the retro legend Galaxie (1958 to 1974) and the 1960\u2019s Falcon. Introducing a premium four-door Mustang will help Ford increase its market share.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why This Could Be A Bad Idea<\/b><\/h3>\n

While Ford\u2019s four-door cars might have made a mark before the 1970s, the company\u2019s recent experience with selling a four door Mustang isn\u2019t exactly stellar. Take the Fusion and Taurus as an example, both of which failed to make a mark. They were later shelved because of poor sales and it might be a poor investment decision to venture into the same territory again.<\/span><\/p>\n

Moreover, Mustang has its own distinct identity and it has no direct rivals to speak of, especially in Europe. Creating a four-door car can affect the brand image and if the new offering tanks at the market, it will also pull down the existing models.<\/span><\/p>\n

Moreover, with the exception of Jaguar E-Type, you cannot find many examples of mainstream car makers punching above their weight. Hyundai’s spinoff brand Genesis failed miserably, and Vauxhall\u2019s Cascada had a similar fate. Even Ford\u2019s Vignale was a failure.<\/span><\/p>\n

If these rumors turn out to be true, Ford will most likely produce both: a two-door car for its loyal fanbase and a four-door variant to enter new markets. With a V8 or turbo-four engine, the Mustang could become a really fuel efficient and fast car. If that indeed is the case, Ford might have a winner in its hand.<\/span><\/p>\n
