All-new Ford Mustang fastback: Now in Europe

2015 Ford Mustang

More than 2,200 customers in Europe have already ordered the all-new Mustang fastback and convertible, which isn’t a small number considering the pony car’s price and its large-displacement engines (yes, even a 2.3-liter unit is too big in many European countries where engines exceeding 2.0 liters in displacement are really punished by the taxman).

As you probably learned, the Ford Mustang is available in Europe with two engine options: the 2.3-liter EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder unit and the 5.0-liter naturally aspirated V8. 

The 2.3-liter unit is rated at 317PS (313hp) and 432Nm (319lb-ft) of torque and enables the Mustang to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 5.8 seconds (with the six-speed manual transmission). Fuel economy isn’t bad either, with a combined rating of 8.0 l/100 km (35.3 mpg UK) and CO2 emissions of 179 g/km.
