2015 Mustang Confirmed for Europe (with 30 Sec Teaser Clip)

Ford held its “Go Further” product presentation event in Amsterdam today where it has unveiled 15 new or restyled vehicles for the European market that it will launch over five years to revive sales.

But more importantly to Mustang fans comes the confirmation that Ford will sell the next Mustang directly in Europe. This means that European Mustang fans will no longer have to rely on private retailers importing the Mustang.

Ford president and CEO Alan Mulally said: "We heard it here first – Mustang, the American icon, is coming to Europe!" "We will have more details to share in the future. One thing we can say for sure what has made Mustang such a sensation in the U.S. for nearly 50 years soon will be enjoyed by customers in Europe."

Ford of Europe CEO added: "You only have to look at the incredible response to Mustang when it has appeared this summer at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, in the U.K., and at the Le Mans Classic, in France, to get a sense of the excitement this American icon generates across Europe." "The Mustang is uniquely Ford and has a huge fan base here in Europe. Now those fans have something to look forward to and we look forward to providing more details in the near future."

Great news for European fans and this can only help sales of the next Mustang

Whilst it's great that Ford recognises we love the Mustang over here (UK) I'm in two minds:

1 - A factory warranty will give a nice comfort factor (personal imports mean no Ford warranty overseas).

2 - Depending on the C02 outputs of the new engine, the Mustang will be crusified with a very high VED (Vehicle Exise Duty - effectly an annual tax you pay to drive on the road).The benefit of personal imports is we currently get one of the lowest bands as the car is not officially rated. This will AT LEAST double for an official car.

3 - LHD just makes it feel more.......American. OK, that only impacts us in the UK, but 99% of Mustang owners perfer to sit on the left.

Good news I guess, it can only help sales. Great to see more news about it from Ford instead of just speculation.

Two questions I have tho:

- how will the car be different now that it needs to comply with European certification standards?
- anyone with sharp ears able to tell what we're hearing in the video - current cars? or if they're not familiar maybe they are sounds of the next gen Mustang engines?
