Ford Motor Philippines has posted a short teaser video on its social media pages. For those with a keen eye, the said video is hinting at the arrival of the next-generation Mustang.
It wasn’t confirmed outright by the teaser, but the video is showing a majestic horse strutting and galloping around excitedly. If you’re a fan of Ford’s performance pony car, then you’ll know that imagery of a galloping horse has long been associated with the model.
The post didn’t share a timeline for the next-gen Mustang’s local release as well. It did, however, come with a caption that says “soon.”
Besides that, the teaser also flashed a logo of a bucking horse which is another equine-themed symbol associated with yet another Ford model – the Bronco.
