Ford Mustang arrives in Europe - Episode 1 – France

How do you make sure the convertible version of the iconic Ford Mustang delivers a driving experience that meets the expectations of the most demanding of drivers – and still throw two sets of golf clubs in the back?

Find out in the first of our Mustang in Europe videos.

One thing i hope Ford convey's to the European buyers is that the mustang is a car that is traditionally modified and further improved upon by its owners via aftermarket upgrades. The average american buyer will almost immediately purchase better rubber for the car, Free'er flowing exhuast, headers and a supercharger. The cool part is that those modifications really wont break the owners bank. for instance one of the more expensive upgrades would be a supercharger for an extra 5k which will take the 5.0 415 bhp to 620bhp or more!  something to know, if you dont.   What will be new for the Euro buyer is mustangs vast aftermarket vender supplier network.  and what type of performance the car will deliver.

Why no love for the V-6 in that video? Or is Europe not getting the V6?

The v6 is a great engine. To bad Europe will not be getting it. 315 hp with premium fuel and a base price of $23, 000.00 it is hard to beat. Mustangs are known to be very reliable even when treated badly. I have a 2014 v6 and love it. I also have a 1978 Trans Am with a 400cid or 6.6 liter engine. The Mustang will destroy the T/A! Mustangs are fun, reliable and affordable. Europe may have better sports cars but for the money they have nothing to compete with it. The U.S. has cheap gas, big roads and big parking places. Europe has small, rough roads and tiny parking spots. Maybe the Mustang is too much for you:)

You got it wrong bud, its 435HP on the V8

i've never owned a mustang i didnt modify. currently building a 620hp naturally aspirated fox body 1989 coupe. that should pull the front wheels off the ground EASILY

[halaheleu]

it looks heavy and big powerful but the little fiesta st can beat the mustang going around corners and curbs it handles better for sure yes the mustang will destroy the st in a straight line so what?

indeed this new mustang looks great. Ford finally got off the ill derived design path of making it tall stubby fat and frumpy.  what on earth were they thinking. 2014's tail is a mile high! what was that all about?   2015 harkens back to the original mustangs  lower sleeker wider and aggressive.  the old car looks like a Pig. Now..people must understand a mustangs charm and  character often comes from all the things thats arent quite perfect about the car.  A mustang molds itself to its owner.   like wearing someone else s shoes, jumping from one mustang into another SHOULD feel different.  the owner becomes aquainted to the car and the car actually has a life of its own and becomes aquainted to its owner.   The is key to the mustang, where other cars are manufactured so well they become cold and soulless.  the mustang grows on you.  which is rare with todays cars.

Oh great there goes America's last cool vehicle now no long rare in Europe.

The new Mustang catering to the Europeans is one ugly car, you want European buy a European car. Ford ruined  the Mustang into the globalist system marketplace, I own a 1966 Mustang and no comparison  in styling . The 1960s cars sound awesome with a 2-1/2 inch exhaust  and flow master 44 mufflers  and headers with no catalytic converters or emissions in restrictions, which no matter what you do to a new Mustang it will never sound as good as a 1960s Mustang . To each his own, I love the styling of the 1960s Mustangs up to 1970, No they do not handle like the new cars but they look and sound great . The best Mustangs 1965-1970 in my opinion.
