It's Official: The Ford Mustang Is The World's Best Selling Sports Coupe
If you thought it was impressive that the Ford Mustang outsold the Porsche 911 and the Audi TT in Germany last month, wait until you get a load of this latest stat. Ford has just revealed that the latest coupe version of its pony car shifted 110,000 units last year (plus 30,000 convertibles), making it the “top-selling sports coupe worldwide” and the only car of its kind to sell more than 100,000 examples globally.
Seems like the whole ‘World Car’ approach is working well - these figures will be helped massively by the fact the latest ‘Stang is available in 140 countries.
The V8 is still proving popular, too. Commenting on the news, Ford sales analyst Erich Merkle said: “while much of the growth in Mustang demand in the United States has come from coastal markets – especially Southern California – and millennials opting for the 2.3-litre EcoBoost engine, buyers in other countries prefer the V8.”
This doesn’t come as a surprise, as in the UK thus far, the eight-banger has accounted for the most sales. “That unmistakable V8 warble is a hot commodity outside the US,” he added, while thinking “Murica!” Probably.
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

This just means that there are going to be more people that won’t be able to handle the car and crash. Not hating on the car, there are just a lot of incapable drivers or there.
