Ford trademarks 'Mach 4' name plate hinting at Mustang sedan

If or when the Mach 4 sees the light of day, it will be the first production Mustang sedan ever

Ford recently applied to trademark the ‘Mach 4’ name. This development suggests that the rumoured 4-door Mustang sedan may be in the works. The application was filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), and states that its usage is for “motor vehicles, namely gasoline and electric automobiles, pick-up trucks, sport utility vehicles and their structural parts.”

Last year, Ford reportedly unveiled and showcased a Mustang sedan at a closed dealer meet. Additionally, Ford CEO Jim Farley has said that as long as the variants “have all the performance and attitude of the original,” a Mustang can be any shape. Apart from last year, Ford showed a concept to dealers in 2018 as well. Rumours had come up again in 2020. With this latest update, it seems that things have finally started rolling.

If or when the Mach 4 sees the light of day, it will be the first production Mustang sedan ever, and the first sedan in Ford’s U.S model portfolio in years.

The ‘Mach’ moniker has been synonymous with the Mustang for decades, with the first high-performance Mach 1 coming in 1969. It has been a very sought-after car with collectors. The other vehicle to sport the Mach badge is the Mach-E electric SUV. 

It remains to be seen when Ford officially makes an announcement. Everything, including the design and powertrain options, remains a speculation for now.
