- The company recently made a brand request The name “Mach 4” in the United States.
- Last year, Ford would have shown the concessionaires a sketch of a possible four -door Mustang.
The idea of an extended Mustang range is not exactly a revolutionary concept. After all, Ford already has the Mach-E, a five-door crossing that is technically part of the Mustang family. But now, a four -door sports sedan is starting to seem to be a real possibility. Ford could prepare to reveal a car that is both exciting and, for some, Sacrilege Borderline – a four -door Mustang, likely to be called the Mach 4.
Rumors about this new sedan has been floating for years, winning a significant traction in 2022 when Ford published an official sketch of a four -door model based on the Mustang of the seventh generation.
Quick advance until 2024, and several participants at a Ford dealer meeting in Las Vegas said that they had seen another rendering of a four -door coupe, potentially named Mach 4. Now, it has been revealed that Ford has filed a brand for the name “Mach 4” from the Bureau of US patents and brands.

The file was carried out on February 25 and was originally discovered by Ford Authority. While car manufacturers regularly deposit brand applications for all kinds of different names, often without any intention to use them in a production model, it seems a little different. Since Ford has already previewed both the potential model and the name Mach 4 to the dealers, and has now officially detailed it, the company could prepare to give life to the four -door Mustang.
There is no doubt that the idea of a Mustang sedan will upset many purists, but such a model would undoubtedly be less blasphemous than the Crossover Mustang Mach-E all electric launched a few years ago.
Ford’s story with the Mustang sedan
The Blue Oval has played with the idea of a four -door Mustang for decades. In fact, the brand first created a four -door Mustang prototype in the 1960s. In the mid -2000s, it would also have created a large -scale Mustang sedan model, based on the S197 generation car. He has never seen daylight.

The sketch published by Ford a few years ago has shown that if a Mustang sedan is well designed, it could seem quite beautiful. The model included familiar front and rear fascias, but had a slightly more fluid roof finished in black, corresponding to the lower bumpers and rocker panels.
If Ford decides to put this on the market (and does not just deposit the brand and let us suspend), it is likely that the Mach 4 will share its motor options with the current Mustang coupe. This means that we could see a powerful 5.0 -liter Coyote V8ote and the four -cylinder Ecoboost turbocharged 2.3 liters making their way under the hood. You know, for when you need four doors and a lot of power.
