Global or US only GT350?

[monksey7]

Will the 2016 GT350 be going global like the GT and Ecoboost or staying exclusive to the US.

I hope Ford lets the world enjoy it, if so then 1 will be mine one day!

as they do not give us the lamest Pony (v6), only those Performance Turbo I4 and the v8, they should give us the gt350, too...
btw: hasn't there been some talking about Benchmarks, Porsche and BWM M3/M4
so the gt350 is a MUST for the old world

I sincerely hope Ford intends to sell it world wide. Mustang fans around the globe deserve the chance to enjoy one and increased production numbers for markets around the world should help keep the price down, even if only marginally.

 

[Katastrophe]

It better be sold around the world. Keeping the Mustang in North America doesn't help to broaden it's appeal. Or sell more...

Just a thought, will the mustang meet European pedestrian crash standards with a lower hood?

Hopefully that won't be an issue if the volume of GT350s is relatively small. Besides Ford won't necessarily have to crash test every different s550 Mustang as I believe other manufactures don't.

I think it'll be sold world wide. But cost a lot.

volume shouldn't be an issue. around 4,500-5,000 GT500 were made per year. It used a unique block from Germany.

BRZ & Miata have lower hoods.

Seems like once you have export system in place, partnerships & people doing paperwork, it wouldn't cost anymore to ship GT350 vs GT.

More GT350 will probably be sold in China than USA. For example, GM sells twice as many Buick ("a premium automobile brand") in China than USA.

Yeah but the GT350 will be more of a track focused car and the Chinese like lots of luxury, the GT will probably be the most popular in China as it has a lot of power but more importantly lots of luxury.

Chinese performance scene has exploded over the last 10 years. Southeast Asian has been growing for about 5 yrs.

Global car. No reason it wouldn't be sold everywhere.

 

[BOSS 1601]

Don't care either way as long as Top Gear tests it on their show and loves it

 

[Seabee1973]

I don't see anything less than a global car... after experiencing the ecoboost premium non pp and a gt pp... I am blown away...I don't see anything less than perfection with the mustang at this point

 

[Trackaholic]

As long as there is one available for me without atrocious dealer markup, I say give the GT350 to the world. Just don't give MINE. ;-)
