We've kind of ignored the Ford Mustang's destructive nature these past few months, but not anymore, as a video that we recently came across made us want to share it with you. And if you read the title, you know what happened.
It was supposed to be a chilled head-to-head battle with a previous-gen Chevrolet Corvette for this Ford Mustang, but shortly after setting off, the muscle car lost traction and started heading towards the right side wall. The driver managed to save it for a precious moment, but the vehicle then turned left and violently hit the wall on the opposite side a few seconds later.
In the video shared online by supercar.fails a few days ago, which was shot at an undisclosed location, presumably at a drag strip somewhere in the United States, you can see the entire face of the Mustang losing the battle with the side barrier. Fortunately, since the Blue Oval's pony car wasn't traveling at dizzying speeds when it decided to stay true to its crash-prone nature, the driver wasn't hurt. Unless the accident rendered it useless, the vehicle would need a lot of TLC to return to its original shine.
This crash reminds us of a similar incident that we wrote about last fall. Back then, two Mustangs lined up at the start line for a quarter-mile race, and not long after the lights turned green, one muscle car lost traction, came in contact with the second one, and both ended up hitting the wall. Hopefully, both drivers managed to walk away, though we cannot be sure of that since the video ends right after the two cars hit the wall. You can check out that story here if you missed it, though preferably after hitting the play button on the video shared below.
Let's hope the new-gen Ford Mustang has left the destructive nature behind it, though we will find out as deliveries kick off and certain owners subject theirs to all sorts of crazy stunts. The 2024 lineup starts from $30,920 with the EcoBoost Fastback model, going up to at least $36,445 for the EcoBoost Premium Fastback, $39,020 for the EcoBoost Convertible, and $41,945 for the EcoBoost Premium Convertible. The most affordable GT, aka the V8-powered version, can be yours from $42,495. For the GT Premium Fastback and GT Premium Convertible, you are looking at a minimum of $47,015 and $52,515, respectively.
The Mustang Dark Horse has an MSRP of $59,270, and the current range-topping member of the family, the Mustang Dark Horse Premium, starts at $63,265. Those looking forward to the new Shelby GT500 will reportedly have to wait until 2025, as it is rumored to launch as a 2026 model.
