The 2015 Ford Mustang is off to a good start in Europe as the company has announced the first 500 models were snapped up in just 30 seconds.
Ford said more than 9,300 people registered online for a chance to reserve one of the first 500 new Ford Mustang models for Europe during last weekend’s UEFA Champions League Final and the company received the first 500 registrations of the new Ford Mustang just 30 seconds into the match.
“We knew there was huge excitement building for the new Ford Mustang coming to Europe, but the response during the UCL Final was overwhelming,” said Roelant de Waard, vice president, Marketing, Sales & Service, Ford of Europe. “It was a truly special way to kick-off the Ford Mustang era in Europe.”
The 500 new Mustangs were allocated across 20 countries in Europe. Ford will in the next few weeks contact the customers from each of these countries who were quickest to place their reservation to let them know they have been successful. Each customer will then be invited to complete their order at a dealership later this year.
In Europe, customers will have two choices of engines which includes the 5.0-litre V8 that is capable of 305hp and 529Nm of torque and the all new 2.3-litre EcoBoost four-cylinder engine that produces 305hp and 407Nm of torque.
The European models will also come equipped with Ford’s SYNC 2 connectivity and navigation system; heated and ventilated seats; Park Assist; black leather trim; chrome detailing; and 19-inch alloy wheels.
