After having been in production for half a century, Ford's all-new 6th-generation Mustang will be arriving this year. It's the first time we'll be seeing the Mustang for sale in Ford garages over here, so no more need for importing! Despite that, Ford claims to have noticed some differences in the market worldwide.
A new set of engines is available. Well, saying set, it's just two. The first option is the 5.0-litre V8 which will produce 418 PS and 524 Nm. So far, so normal. But the next option is definitely a sign of the times - it's a turbocharged 2.3-litre EcoBoost engine. But don't be fooled, it's still capable of producing 314 PS and 434 Nm. Emissions aren't what you'd expect, from 179 g/km.
As expected, the new Mustang will be offered in the 'Fastback' coupé guise as well as a Convertible.
Within the first month, 500,000 Europeans configured their ideal Ford Mustang online. In other words, it's a long-awaited car over here! But is it worth it? Available with a 6-speed automatic or manual transmission, you've got the traditional American car aspect there as well as the favoured British manual. The 19-inch alloys, xenon headlights and LED tail lights help give the Mustang some huge road presence.
Jump inside and the dual-zone climate control, 9 speakers and SYNC 2 8-inch touchscreen with voice control prove that the Mustang is ready for our love of technology and interior comfort. And this is probably the only time I'll ever say this... the back seats look more comfy that those at the front!
But have Ford improved its refinement, or more importantly, have they done enough to make it viable to sale as a European model? We'll just have to wait... My Ford Mustang Configuration
