Detroit 2022: The New 2024 Mustang Brings Star Power to the Auto Show
Auto123 was on hand for the grand unveiling of the revised 2024 Ford Mustang on Thursday night.
Much has been made this week about the Detroit Auto Show losing some of its former luster, which was inevitable given the havoc the pandemic wreaked upon it, and more generally waning interest in the part of automakers and perhaps even car enthusiasts for traditional auto shows. And yet, the traditional media day held today contained its share of significant new model presentations and announcements. Even if some of them had already been presented elsewhere, in other contexts.
Still, the star power was somewhat dimmed, no way around it. Which made Ford’s presentation of the revised new 2024 Mustang in coupe and convertible versions all the more welcome. On the other hand, Ford didn't unveil it at the show itself during the day, but decided to wait until later in the day to make it known to the general public. So it was at Hartz Plaza in the city of Detroit itself (which has undergone a major facelift) that we got to see the new 2024 Mustang.

Not quite a transformation
After all the spy images found here and there online, many observers believed that we were going to see nothing more than a mild revision of the current Mustang. Others added the possibility of a hybrid configuration and still others thought the car might be all-wheel drive. Of course, there were also whispers of an all-electric version. But here, now, none of the wilder possibilities materialized.
