底特律目前正在测试右舵的福特野马，澳洲预计售价，50000澳元起。
Ford has started testing right-hand-drive versions of the Mustang muscle car ahead of its arrival in Australian showrooms next year, priced from about $50,000.
Ford has never made a right-hand-drive Mustang on a production line before. Mustangs sold in Australia in the 1960s and early 2000s were built in left-hand drive in the US and then converted locally.
After declaring for half a century it was too expensive to engineer a right-hand-drive Mustang -- especially given that left-hand-drive new cars can be legally registered in other key right-hand-drive markets, the UK and Japan -- Ford is boldly going global with the new model.
The Mustang will be sold in 125 countries next year, including 25 right-hand-drive markets such as Australia, Japan, and the UK.
"The Mustang is the heart and soul of the company and part of American culture," says Nair. "Of all our models, it's top of the list for brand perception and recognition."
The Mustang has 7.6 million Facebook fans at last count (August 2014), making it the most "liked" car on the social media site, Ford claims.
The Mustang has also appeared in more than 3000 movies, including James Bond's Goldfinger (1964), Steve McQueen's Bullitt (1968), and Gone in 60 Seconds (2000).
Of the 400 Mustang clubs globally, more than half of them are outside North America.
Ford has sold more than 9.2 million Mustangs since the first one was built in 1964, but only 161,000 were sold outside North America.
The Ford Mustang will arrive in Australia as the Falcon nears the end of the Broadmeadows production line.
However, at the preview of the new Ford Mustang in Detroit last year, executives insisted the Mustang was not intended to replace the Falcon as Ford's hero car.
"The Mustang is not intended to replace Falcon, it's bringing the Mustang back to Australia," said Raj Nair, the Ford group vice president, global product development.
Meanwhile, Australians struggling to understand the merit of a four-cylinder Falcon will need to get their head around the idea of a four-cylinder Mustang: it will be available with four-cylinder or V8 power.
Indeed, Ford's latest four-cylinder turbo engine has more grunt than many V8s (227kW). It will also be much more fuel-efficient.
Ford made four-cylinder Mustangs from 1978 to 1993 but they were discontinued because the technology wasn't as advanced then as it is today.
The V8 version -- which will come standard with a "burnout" button -- will likely be the most popular choice (Australia misses out on the US-only V6); the option of a four-cylinder engine is intended to broaden the Mustang's appeal, especially in Europe as the Mustang goes global for the first time.
FAST FACTS
The Mustang is one of the few cars in the world to clock up 50 years of continuous production. The other is the Ford Falcon (to be retired in 2016 after 56 years), the Volkswagen Kombi (retired after 56 years, 1957 to 2013), the Volkswagen Beetle (retired after 65 years, 1938 to 2003), the Chevrolet Suburban SUV (79 years and counting, since 1938), the Ford F-Series pick-up (66 years and counting, since 1948), and the Toyota LandCruiser 4WD (60 years and counting, since 1954), and the Porsche 911 Carrera sports-car (51 years and counting, since 1963) to name a few.

不知道会不会引进shelby
评论
慢慢来吧，估计要用普通版试水。
评论
是不是单排座呀？是的话不实用吧都不能带孩子，肯定不会大卖
评论
关注一下

后排座位是有，但是是dog seat级别的。5万起，应该是2.3 Turbo的，而且不直到是否还要plus on road。V8的GT至少6万多了这样，更别说Shelby GT 500了，估计10万左右。这样的价格，估计买的人不会很多了。
本来打算看此货的，按照这样的价位，我还是把目光投向了STI。
评论
必须的啊
虽然这代STI多少有点骗钱的感觉.....
评论
5W5开走的STI，不算骗钱了。旧款EVO X比新STI还贵点。
5W5开个2.3 Turbo的Mastung，还不如开个2.5 Turbo的STI呢。后座还宽敞。
老兄还能找点5W5，能在赛道跟STi相似的选择不？我下周就去试驾STI了，更多点选择更好。
评论
是的，5万买的2.3T的好像意思不大，6，7万买个V8的我不如去买HSV了，还容易通过审批（LD）。
评论
5万多啊！那么贵，本来我以为就4万左右的乞丐版，我会心动买的。如果5万以上，我肯定会放弃。
评论
可能是叫好不叫座，类似86
评论
5万5，Mustang 2.3T和STI，我老婆估计都不批。但不批不等于我不能买，选择一定是STI。
7万买Mustung GT，还不如等HSV GTS降价呢。Mustung GT贵过SSV，就已经意义不大了。同样5万，Mustang GT和SSV Redline，我都会犹豫。7万，这货就洗洗睡吧。
评论
86还好，3万多点有交易了，所以街上不少见。
评论
同放弃，周一去试驾STI。

土澳就是贵啊。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。
