The legendary Ford Mustang has galloped into South Africa in its latest, seventh-generation guise.
This iconic muscle car arrives with a sharpened design, cutting-edge technology, and a hefty R1.3 million price tag.
Under the hood, you'll find Ford's venerable 5.0-litre Coyote V8 engine, delivering 328kW and 540Nm of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a 10-speed automatic transmission, promising thrilling performance and that signature V8 soundtrack.
Ford has opted to offer a single, fully-equipped variant in South Africa: the Mustang GT Fastback. This means buyers get the Performance Pack as standard, which includes a Torsen limited-slip differential, MagneRide active suspension, upgraded Brembo brakes, and even an electronic drift brake for those with a penchant for sideways action.
The design is an evolution of the classic Mustang formula, with a wider stance, a more aggressive front end, and those iconic tri-bar LED headlights. Inside, the cabin is dominated by a pair of large digital displays, creating a fighter jet-inspired cockpit.
While the R1.3 million price may seem steep, it includes a comprehensive 6-year/90,000km service plan, a 4-year/120,000km warranty, and 4 years of roadside assistance.
