Back in May, Farley told *[Autocar]()* that Ford could make more Mustang variants, including a four-door, and it turns out he was showing Ford's hand more than we initially thought. Not only is a Mustang sedan a possibility but it's already being planned over in Detroit, as Ford showed dealers such a car during a recent closed-door meeting, according to *[Automotive News]()*. During this meeting, dealers were reportedly given a snapshot of Ford's plans for the near future, and a Mustang sedan was one of them. While phones and cameras weren't allowed at the presentation, four sources who chose to keep their identities hidden told *Auto News* that they saw digital renderings of the four-door Mustang, while two of them said it was called the "Mach 4." Get it? Four doors, Mach 4? Cute. Taking it a step further, Ford supposedly showed attendees other Mustang variants, including an off-road version with a taller ride height and all-terrain tires. There was another EcoBoost-powered Mustang modified by RTR, as well as a "high-performance" convertible with a V8 and a manual transmission supposedly "akin to the former Shelby GT350 or GT500," but without Shelby badging. *Auto News* leaves it a bit unclear whether those concepts were spins on the existing fastback or this mythical four-door, though it's worth a reminder that [Ford still sells a drop-top Mustang with a stick and eight cylinders](). ![]() *Mustang Mach-E Rally. *Ford** According to the dealer sources, the four-door Mustang is Ford's way of leaning into its gasoline-powered muscle cars as the company's rivals are shying away from them. With [Chevy killing off the Camaro]() and Dodge waving goodbye to the Hemi in the [new Charger](), Ford isn't just keeping the V8 Mustang—it's making more flavors of it. The logic is that if customers want old-school Americana, they can only get it from one place. It's unclear how well customers will receive a four-door performance car with a Mustang badge, as most carmakers are killing off sedans in favor of small crossovers due to poor sales. However, as a car enthusiast, this is great news. Forget, for a moment, that [Ford should call this four-door sport sedan a Falcon](). An American car company is realistically considering a performance sedan with a V8 and three pedals in 2024. That alone is encouraging news. *Got a tip?

His love of cars began when he was just a kid playing Gran Turismo 3, grinding out enough race wins with a Mazda Miata to save up for an in-game RUF 911. That passion for small, lightweight sports cars drove his desire to learn more about the industry, get his hands on as many cars as he could, and bring those experiences to life on the page. He cut his teeth writing about BMWs, Volkswagens, and Audis, mostly, and has owned far too many of each. He’s on his fourth 3 Series sedan, but all of his old, cheap German cars have forced him to learn more about car maintenance than his mechanical capability can handle. Too many late nights have been spent scrambling to get a car running by morning so he could get to work. For some reason, he never seems to learn that old Bimmers probably aren’t the best daily drivers. But he loves more than just old German cars. He’ll gladly drive and discuss anything with four (or even three) wheels. Cars aren’t his only passions, though. Nico is also a big nerd and loves movies, video games, comic books, and cares far too much about the New York Giants. So don’t be surprised if you see football references or dumb, obscure movie quotes in any of his car reviews. ### Author social links [Instagram]() [LinkedIn]()
