The new Ford Mustang will make its European production debut at the 2014 Paris Motor Show.
The new Ford Mustang fastback and convertible models will go on sale across Europe in 2015 for
the first time after 50 years of production, and promise world-class levels of performance and
refinement while embracing the Mustangs half-century of heritage and status as a global icon.
The Mustangs reputation for performance and its iconic status as a symbol of freedom and
optimism precedes it even in those parts of the world where the car has never been sold, said
Stephen Odell, Ford executive vice president, Europe, Middle East and Africa. The new Mustang
is modern, technologically advanced and forward-looking, without forgetting the heritage that has
inspired Ford customers for generations.

More than nine million Mustangs have been sold since it was first launched in 1964. The worlds
most-liked vehicle on Facebook, Mustang has made thousands of appearances in film, television,
music and video games.
The new Mustang has been developed with world-class performance, driving dynamics and
usability in mind and includes a significant amount of advanced driver convenience and driver
aid technologies.

The new Mustang is one of the most hotly anticipated cars ever, we are very excited to now
give drivers in Europe the opportunity to experience the real thing, said Roelant de Waard, vice
president, Marketing, Sales & Service, Ford of Europe.
Unmistakably Mustang
The clean-sheet design of both Ford Mustang fastback and convertible evokes the essential
character of the vehicle, retaining key design elements of the classic Mustangs recognisable to car
fans across Europe, including the long sculpted hood and short rear deck, with a contemporary
execution.
You only get one chance to make a first impression and when you see this car, you immediately
see a Mustang strong and true, said Moray Callum, Ford executive director, design, The Americas.
Several key design features define the new Ford Mustang, including:

A low roof height and wide stance

Sleek profile enabled by steeply sloped windshield and rear glass
Three-dimensional, tri-bar taillamps
Contemporary execution of the iconic cars signature trapezoidal grille and shark-bite front
fascia

Ford Mustang convertible drivers will appreciate the standard multilayer insulated cloth top that
gives the car an upscale appearance and a quiet cabin. The top has a sleek profile when folded for
open-air motoring.
Large, clear instrumentation puts vehicle information right in front of the driver in the roomy cabin
with an aviation-inspired cockpit, while ergonomic and tactile switches and knobs provide control.
The vehicles width and new rear suspension contribute to improved shoulder and hip room for
passengers and a usefully shaped bootspace that can accommodate two golf bags.
The Mustang experience
The way Ford Mustang looks, drives and sounds is key to the visceral experience. The Ford
Mustang offers outstanding power options and a sophisticated new chassis designed to meet the
driving dynamics expectations of European drivers.
Fords acclaimed 5.0litre V8 engine yielding 418 PS and 524 Nm of torque for Europe is
joined by an all-new 2.3-litre EcoBoost engine that brings state-of-the-art technology to Mustang;
delivering turbocharged performance with the fuel efficiency and CO2 emissions demanded by
Europes car consumers.
This EcoBoost engine delivers where a Mustang driver expects it to with a broad, flat torque curve
that pours out when you stand on it for easy passing or hustling down a twisty road, said Dave
Pericak, Mustang chief engineer.
The Mustangs 2.3-litre EcoBoost engine uses direct injection, variable cam timing and
turbocharging to deliver usable performance. A unique intake manifold and turbocharger housing
enable it to deliver the performance Mustang drivers expect, with 314 PS and 434 Nm of torque
for Europe. An automatic transmission option features steering wheel-mounted shift paddles that
deliver convenience and control for drivers.
A Mustang for the true driving enthusiast

The new Ford Mustang features all-new front and rear suspension systems. At the front, a new
perimeter subframe helps to stiffen the front structure while reducing mass, providing a strong
foundation for more predictable wheel control that benefits handling, steering and ride.
The new double ball-joint front MacPherson strut system also enables the use of large, powerful
brakes. Both 2.3litre EcoBoost and V8-powered GT Mustang models will feature performance
brake packages behind standard 19inch wheels in Europe.
At the rear is an all-new integral-link independent rear suspension. The geometry, springs,
dampers and bushings all have been specifically modified and tuned for this high-performance
application, and are well-suited to European roads and high speed driving culture. New aluminium
rear knuckles help reduce unsprung mass for improved ride and handling.
Smart technology
The new Mustang features a significant number of innovative technologies providing drivers with
enhanced information, control, and connectivity when they want it.
On a twisty back road or a weekend track day, the driver can tap the toggle switches on the
console to quickly adjust steering effort, engine response, and transmission and electronic
stability control settings using the available Selectable Drive Modes to create the perfect Mustang
at any time.
The new Mustang will be among the first vehicles in Europe to offer SYNC 2. Fords advanced
infotainment system features a high-resolution, 8-inch colour touch screen and advanced voice
control for easier access to audio, navigation, climate control and compatible mobile phones.
SYNC 2s navigation system also offers a split-screen display with detailed intersections, spoken
street names, 3D highway junction and landmark views, and the Michelin travel guide. SYNC 2
enables drivers to issue simpler one-shot navigation destinations, and to ask the system to
play a desired artist. Simply pushing the voice control button and saying Im hungry will bring
up a list of local restaurants, which you can then get directions to.
From day one, we knew if we were going to build a new Mustang, we had to do it right, Pericak
said. We built a new Mustang from the ground up that is fast, great-looking, refined and efficient,
without losing any of the raw appeal that people around the world have associated with Mustang
for decades.
