• New Mustang will deliver power of choice in New Zealand, from 5.0L V8 GT to the all-new fuel-efficient 2.3-litre EcoBoost

Ford has announced sharp pricing for the all-new Ford Mustang Fastback and Convertible.

The all-new Mustang arrives later this year with a recommended retail price (RRP) starting at $56,990 for the Fastback featuring an automatic transmission with a high performance 2.3-litre EcoBoost engine. The range topper is the six-speed automatic V8 GT 5.0-litre Convertible, which has an RRP of $76,990. The manual V8 GT is available in Fastback only and has an RRP of 71,990.

“The all new Mustang will appeal to those who value style, technology, performance and the heritage that the Mustang name brings,” says Corey Holter, Managing Director Ford New Zealand. “It’s a technologically advanced car without forgetting the heritage that has inspired Ford customers for generations.”

Unmistakably Mustang
The clean-sheet design of both Ford Mustang Fastback and Convertible evokes the essential character of the vehicle, retaining key design elements of the classic Mustangs recognisable to car fans everywhere, including the long sculpted hood and short rear deck, with a contemporary execution.

Several key design features define the new Ford Mustang, including:

• A low roof height and wide stance
• Sleek profile enabled by steeply sloped windscreen and rear glass
• Three-dimensional, tri-bar tail-lamps
• Contemporary execution of the iconic car’s signature trapezoidal grille and shark-bite front fascia

Ford Mustang convertible drivers will appreciate the standard multilayer insulated cloth top that gives the car an upscale appearance and a quiet cabin. The top has a sleek profile when folded for open-air motoring.

Large, clear instrumentation puts vehicle information right in front of the driver in the roomy cabin with an aviation-inspired cockpit, while ergonomic and tactile switches and knobs provide control. The vehicle’s width and new rear suspension contribute to improved shoulder and hip room for passengers and a usefully shaped bootspace that can accommodate two golf bags.

A Mustang for the true driving enthusiast
The new Ford Mustang features all-new front and rear suspensions. At the front, a new perimeter sub-frame helps to stiffen the front structure while reducing mass, providing a strong foundation for more predictable wheel control that benefits handling, steering and ride.

The new double ball-joint front MacPherson strut system also enables the use of large, powerful brakes. Both 2.3litre EcoBoost and V8 GT Mustang models will feature performance brake packages behind standard 19inch wheels.

At the rear is an all-new integral-link independent rear suspension. The geometry, springs, dampers and bushings all have been specifically modified and tuned for this high-performance application. New aluminium rear knuckles help reduce unsprung mass for improved ride and handling.

Smart technology
The new Mustang features a significant number of innovative technologies providing drivers with enhanced information, control, and connectivity when they want it.

Like other Fords, the Mustang will feature high levels of connectivity via Ford’s SYNC2 system. Ford’s advanced infotainment system features a high-resolution, 8-inch colour touch screen and advanced voice control for easier access to audio, navigation, climate control and compatible mobile phones.
