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 means that we are in more danger.
Big hit with the crowd ain’t it?

Shame is 10 times that many will be killed watching them leave car meets

My thoughts and prayers are with all those families that will/are going to be affected by number of mustangs plowing the streets.

Probably something to do with its contrymens thoughts about the fact that “made in usa” is a reason to buy it and thar it automatically is better than whatever you compare it to.
