Perhaps the biggest and most significant news is that the sixth-generation Mustang gains a new rear suspension setup, which finally sees the back of the traditional live axle. In its place will be a thoroughly more up-to-date ‘integral-link’ independent suspension setup.

The new car will feature a range of engines, starting with a 304bhp 2.3-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine replacing the old V6, and the all-important 5.0-litre V8 model topping the range (ahead of any hotter Shelby versions) with 420bhp. The 307bhp V6 engine will however remain to be offered in the US in the cheapest and most basic models. In traditional muscle car style, all engines drive the rear wheels

There's not many new cars I like these days, but that's one of them.

Interestingly, Dodge have just released a factory-standard 707bhp version of the Challenger. That'll kick Mustang sales, especially as they've just cut their prices to be more 'Mustang friendly'. Si. <This is my name.

A man ain't truly been insulted until he stands buck naked in front of a woman and she didn't even notice. Or care.

Loving that new Dodge - its the Hellcat version:

Love the Dodge but the significant thing is the UK Spec Mustang Range....

About time in my opinion. Just sold my lefty:

must say... i logged on to the internet on eufa cup final and was lucky enough to have "won the right" to preorder 1 of 500 limited edition european spec mustangs that were available only that day
didn't think i would get through but have now had official written and verbal correspondence from ford confirming i am 1 of 123 right hand drive car winners.
ford are keeping me informed weekly of progress
ordered 5.0 litre fastback

Fabulous well done the limited number cars are the best. I am waiting for the UK Shelby edition

Fastback - Not a bad looking Beast!

However....

I agree that Ford FINALLY releasing a UK-spec Mustang is a highly significant event, and long overdue....

but.... isn't part of the appeal of having a US muscle car in LHD? Would RHD make it somehow more sanitised?

I don't know. For me, there's a certain undefined appeal of driving a LHD car over here. It adds to the sense that it's from elsewhere.

I'm not knocking Ford one bit here. But a Mustang is special and each time I see a converted RHD model I tend to wince a little and wonder what got lost along the way.

Then again, I'd order one in a heartbeat if I had the funds.  Si. <This is my name.

In reality if they are sold RHD in the UK the re-saleability will increase greatly and thats what counts as LHD Mustangs take aggggggeeeessss to sell.

I tried to pre order the mustang, but missed out as I was walking the dog when the final started, put my name down but was about 15 minutes in. Think they all went in the first minute

dont know how but i was one of the lucky ones in the first minute
these are factory built right hand drive and not conversions so should be spot on
racing red 5 litre fastback
line lock for burnouts as standard
another car to add to the collection
