Now that the 2015 Mustang’s major cats are out of the bag, Ford has shared that final testing is being done for the right-hand-drive export version.
Ford’s new 2015 Mustang will be on sale around the world as a true global car. Thus very soon production for over 120 countries begins, including for the first time, a right-hand-drive version.
There are actually some twenty five markets where a right-hand-drive car is needed. The larger of them of course include the United Kingdom, Australia and South Africa.
The importance of adding a right-hand-drive 2015 Mustang is key to allowing the pony car to be exported to these countries where they can be licensed and sold as a regular production car.
For decades in like Australia, Mustangs have been converted to right-hand-drive by local companies at great expense, making them a grey market novelty. This move will make America’s pony car more mainstream.
Ford will be proving out various aspects of the right-hand-drive 2015 Mustang before production begins on the global export models early next year.
And for those of you watching closely, yes we’ve been showing you mirrored stock video footage of the 2015 Mustang purely for effect. It’s all them fancy Hollywood tricks. For more news and test drives of Fords and Mustangs see our partner channel TheMustangNews.com.
