As the first right-hand drive Ford Mustangs roll off the production line in the US, the total number of orders placed in the UK has risen to almost 2,000.<\/p>\n
Despite being a top seller in the US for more than five decades, this is the first time Ford has opted to make a model designed for the RHD market.<\/p>\n
It is expected that buyers will start to receive their pre-ordered Mustangs from November this year and the Flatrock Assembly Plant in Michigan has already upped production to cope with the strong demand.<\/p>\n
The majority of the UK orders (80 per cent) are for the fastback body style, with 70 per cent opting for the 416PS 5.0-litre V8 engine rather than the more fuel-efficient 317PS 2.3-litre EcoBoost engine.<\/p>\n
UK buyers have also showed a greater demand for a six-speed manual gearbox, rather than the six-speed automatic option that is popular in the US.<\/p>\n
It would also appear UK Mustang fans are also willing to splash out on the Custom Pack, which includes sat-nav, a Shaker Pro 12-speaker audio system, heated and cooled front seats as well as a rear view camera to help with parking.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
