For the first time in the nameplate's 50-year existence, the 2015 Ford Mustang will also be available in right-hand drive when it will go on sale this fall in the United States and globally in more than 120 countries in 2015. No less than 25 markets will sell the RHD Stang, including the United Kingdom, South Africa, Australia, Cyprus, Malta and India.
What you see in the picture above is the very first right-hand-drive sixth-generation Mustang. The prototype right-hand drive Ford Mustang will be used to conduct various development tests in preparation for the car’s entry into the global market in the coming months. Although the United States is the largest market for the iconic pony, with more than 9.2 million sales since 1964, a whopping 161k Mustangs sold outside North America in that period.
In 2012 alone, over 4,000 ponies were sold in 35 countries outside North America, including the United Arab Emirates and the Philippines. Before the glorious Shelby GT350 comes on the scene, U.S. customers will be offered three engine choices: the entry-level 3.7-liter V6 with 300 horsepower and 280 lb-ft (379 Nm), the 2.3-liter Ecoboost turbo'd four-cylinder rated 310 horsepower and 320 lb-ft (433 Nm), while the range-topper is a 5-liter V8 churning out 435 ponies and 400 lb-ft (541 Nm) of torque.
However, most other markets will get only the mid-range EcoBoost and the GT with its 5-liter Coyote V8 powerplant. Stateside, the least expensive Ford Mustang Ecoboost fastback starts from an affordable $25,170, while the GT will set you back $32,100 when coupled to the manly six-speed manual tranny.
