The iconic Mustang will be offered in Malaysia in both a fastback and convertible, and with a choice of a 5.0-litre V8, producing 435 horsepower and 390 lb.-ft. of torque, or a turbocharged, fuel-efficient 2.3-litre EcoBoost® engine, producing 310 horsepower. Quite amazing is the fact that they are actually bringing in the 5.0 V8 even though Malaysian road tax for that engine capacity will cost in excess of RM10,000.00 for private users. Gotta admire their guts for doing so.
I would be happy in an Ecoboost version as I do not have my own money printing machine.
PRESS RELEASE
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Mar. 10, 2015 – Ford Motor Company today announced that
the new Mustang will be previewed at Publika in Solaris Dutamas from March 11-15, ahead
of its official arrival in showrooms nationwide by December.
The event marks the first time that the next-generation of this iconic Ford vehicle will be on
display in Malaysia.
To mark its 50th anniversary of continuous production, the all-American sports car is going
global, with Malaysia being one of a select number of right-hand drive markets to receive the
new Mustang. This means Malaysians will soon be able to buy their own slice of automotive
heritage for the first time.
Mustang will be offered in Malaysia in both a fastback and convertible, and with a choice of a
5.0-litre V8, producing 435 horsepower and 390 lb.-ft. of torque, or a turbocharged, fuel-
efficient 2.3-litre EcoBoost® engine, producing 310 horsepower.
Mustang is one of the world’s most popular cars, with more than nine million units sold. It
truly revolutionised the segment of sports cars with its unique combination of distinguished
design, high performance and cost affordability. From the racetrack to the silver screen, and
from the airwaves to the toy box, it has become an enduring part of automotive and pop
culture.
Built at Flat Rock Assembly Plant in the United States, the new Mustang is the most
advanced version yet, with a sleek new design for the fastback and convertible, as well as
world-class handling, more precise steering control and enhanced ride comfort. The modern
and muscular interpretation of the classic design is also more aerodynamically efficient,
improving fuel efficiency and performance.
