Was just reading Autocar's article and they mention this:
So it seems it's not just a matter of Ford not updating their car to meet Euro crash standards but actually removing safety technologies available on the US car. I wonder how true that is...
http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/industry/ford-mustang-scores-two-stars-euro-ncap-test-videoThe results in Europe highly contrast those in the US, where the Mustang has been awarded five stars. Euro NCAP secretary general Michiel van Ratingen said the more basic specification of European cars was the reason for the difference.
“Ford did not expect Euro NCAP to test the Mustang and chose not to fit safety technology in Europe which is available to its American consumers and available on several other sports cars for that matter,” he said. “Such an attitude to safety should trouble Ford’s customers, whether they are buying a high-powered muscle car or a regular family car.”
