Riding with the woman in charge of America’s last muscle car
It seemed like a good idea at the time. Exciting, actually. I could take a ride in what will soon be America’s last gasoline-powered muscle car with the woman who’s in charge of getting it into production and onto the street. But we were in New York City, it was four in the afternoon and I should have known better. Laurie Transou recently took over as Lead Program Engineer for the Ford Mustang. She’s in charge of the final adjustments and production roll-out of the new 2024 Mustang.
Given room to breathe, the Mustang will remain — like a sort of living fossil of an earlier age in motoring. That is, of course, part of its ongoing charm, and probably one of the reasons Ford decided not to even offer a hybrid version, at least for now. “The choice for now was to lean into the ICE engine and all that an ICE engine delivers,” Transou said, using an industry term for an internal combustion engine.
