2015 Ford Mustang
! ! ! !
This is the First Right-Hand Drive Ford Mustang from the Factory
It may not sound like a big deal, but Ford hopes a right-hand drive version is the key to the Mustang finally becoming a world car.
Ford released a photo this weekend of the first right-hand drive 2015 Mustang, something the company has never done on its own before. Previous efforts at selling Mustangs in right-hand drive markets were comprised of selling LHD cars in areas such as the UK and Japan, or special conversions limited to a few hundred units.
The sixth-generation Mustang is destined for 25 RHD markets, according to Ford, including the UK, Australia and South Africa. The car assembled by Ford will be used for testing purposes in the months leading up to official global production.
Ford is also banking on the 2.3-liter Ecoboost engine being the key to the Mustang's success around the world, even though this first RHD 2015 Mustang is a 5.0 V8 version. The company sold just 4,000 Mustangs in overseas markets in 2012, so both the Ecoboost and RHD models should move that number significantly higher.
The new Mustang goes on sale in LHD form late this year, with RHD cars rolling off the line in significant numbers beginning sometime in 2015.

Well, just listen to the beast.

shh, why are we whispering..well, its because for some reason, no one at Ford has figured out these taillights are lame-ski as one can be-ski. I never liked the taillights ever since they debuted during their 2006 gen debuts. Am I wrong for pointing this out. I do it for humor so please cackle and chortle but seriously, who likes these taillights. 30k+ car has to be styled right, imo. Also, who hasn't owned a mustang and lamented at it's notoriously poor fuel economy, Here is hoping the the 2.3 liter ecoboost puts an end to those laments. As far as these tails tho, looks like they are here to stay just like the TLX's beak. Like I said, I think the newer engines will hopefully make us forget about these knick knacks. shh, noone will notice if we don't speak up. it's an american icon so i don't want to speak up about it.

2015 Ford Mustang Production Starts At Flat Rock Plant
Production of the all-new 2015 Ford Mustang got underway today at Ford Motor Company’s [NYSE:F] Flat Rock Assembly Plant in Michigan. That means the cars will soon be heading out to dealers, where you’ll finally be able to book a test drive. Sales of the 2015 Mustang commence this fall but the very first Mustang GT has already been bought—selling for $300,000 at a charity auction back in January.
It’s been a long wait for this day, as Ford first showed off the sixth-generation Mustang as far back as December 2013. Since then the car has been paraded at events all over the country, including its 50th birthday bash back in April. In commemoration of the milestone, each 2015 model will be adorned with a badge on the instrument panel that includes the galloping pony logo and the words “Mustang – Since 1964.” For a few lucky buyers, there will also be a special 50 Year Limited Edition model.
The Flat Rock plant only started building the Mustang in 2005. Last year it celebrated the construction of its one millionth Mustang, and with the arrival of the sixth-generation model, which will be sold all over the globe for the first time, we’re sure that many more milestones will be reached in the near future. The facility, which is also responsible for the Fusion, has approximately 3,000 employees working two shifts at full line speed.
The new Mustang goes on sale in three trim levels initially: Mustang V6, Mustang EcoBoost and Mustang GT. The Mustang V6 is fitted with a 300-horsepower 3.7-liter V-6 and is priced from $24,425 with shipping. The Mustang EcoBoost gets a 2.3-liter four-cylinder EcoBoost engine good for 310 hp and will set you back $25,995. Finally, the Mustang GT continues with a 5.0-liter V-8, this time rated at 435 hp. It has a $32,925 price tag.
Next year we can look forward to the first high-performance variant, which is being built by the SVT division and is rumored to be called a Mustang GT350.

Priced out the Ecoboost Mustang earlier tonight just for giggles and was nicely equipped right under 30k only because i added different wheels which included some package with bigger brakes, bigger sway bars, boost/oil gauge....
Were there any pics of the Turbo motor?
