Are you hungry to learn more about the next model in line for the Mustang throne? Here is what we know on the new 2015 Ford Mustang.
The right-hand drive versions will cater for the UK, South African and Australian markets. They will also cater for 22 other markets.
United States first, everywhere else later
Given that the United States is Ford’s home, the new Mustang will sell over here first this fall.
It is a car that will get sold in 120 countries in total, but us Americans can take advantage of the fact that we can get it first!
If you don’t like the idea of driving your new ‘stang with a 5.0-liter V8 under the hood, you can also choose from the following engines:
Over $555 million dollars got invested. The money helped transform and improve the Flat Rock facility into a state of the art car manufacturing center.
And the investment has been good for the local economy too. More than 3,000 employees work for Ford at the Flat Rock assembly line.
The eagle-eyed among you will also know that the Fusion is also built at Flat Rock too. But then the Mustang is a more-interesting car to talk about, don’t you think?
In the meantime, what are you waiting for? Go down to your local Ford dealer and pre-order one today!
