Ford Mustang 2015 2000 Bookings Already Taken in
Australia 6 Months Ahead of the Launch
Ford Mustang is all set to arrive in the local showrooms across Australia
by the end of 2015. Ford Mustangs base model begins around $45,000
which is relatively less than what it used to be. When compared to Ford
Mustangs 2001 model which was priced around $85,000 for a coupe and
$89,000 for a convertible, the price of the latest 2015 Ford Mustang is
just a little over than its half price. Nonetheless, when compared to what
the US customers pay; Australians will be paying around $20,000 more
for the same car. However, car buffs here do not mind it at all as even
before its launch, 2000 cars are already booked and thats something
remarkable, says Ford Australia.
Since late 2013, the Blue Oval brand has been creating quite a buzz when
it was confirmed that Ford Australia would be bringing in the new model
for the first time in years. As of December 2014, Ford Australia has
received around 600 bookings; however, the curiosity seems to have
increased when the pricing for Ford Mustang was declared during March
2015.
The Eco-Boost 4-cylinder fastback version which is turbo-powered will
be priced around $45,000 and on-road costs extra, this is for the base
2
model. The price would be around $55,000 for the V8 version. At an
added cost of around $7500, convertible versions will be accessible.
Ford Mustangs variant - GT Fastback automatic that comes with 5.0-litre
V8 engine is catching up much attention and is in high demand than the
entry, base model of Fords latest pony car. As per Ford, roughly around
42% of all orders received are for this particular variant. However, Ford
is anticipating that shift will happen gradually and that Eco-Boost variant
will not only make for better sales but also will maintain sales in the long
run compared to most performance cars.
Whats special this time around is the fact that even before the pricing
or specifications were announced for the car, some of the customers had
even made their bookings. David Blackwood, the chief from Bayford Group
Victoria dealership says that he has never seen such a trend before.
Across the Mustang models, the performance pack will remain standard,
stated Ford. This performance pack will include unique chassis tuning, an
upsized rear sway bar on the fastback, heavy duty front springs, and to
safeguard the suspension strut towers to the bulkhead - it comes with K
Brace under the bonnet. A rear limited-slip differential is fitted in all
variants.
As far as the colour choices are concerned, racing red colour is the most
widely preferred choice by Australian customers, which is very closely
followed by pure black and magnetic.
As per Ford, A number of Mustang fans along with members of the
different state based Mustang clubs have placed more than one order
comprising of different variants of the prominent car, and total 20
orders have been placed by a recognised sports car rental company.
