Good news for pony fans in Europe as Ford announces
that it’s taking the next-generation legendary Mustang
muscle car across the pond into
Europe. Europe includes the United Kingdom,
which means official right-hand-drive Mustangs for the very first time. By extension
what this means is that Mzansi could
be in line for its first Ford-backed batch of RHD Mustangs for the first time too!
“We heard it here first – Mustang, the American icon, is
coming to Europe!” said president and CEO, Ford Motor Company, Alan Mulally. “We will have more
details to share in the future. One thing we can say for sure what has made
Mustang such a sensation in the US
for nearly 50 years soon will be
enjoyed by customers in Europe.”
We don’t know what kind of powerplants the new redesigned Mustang will
have when it launches in 2014. But we can speculate around V6 and V8 units, the
former probably sporting turbochargers
with the EcoBoost method. Our hope
is also that these cars will arrive in Mzansi
at a good price, sell in big numbers
and inspire the likes of General Motors to bring in their muscle car, the Camaro.
