Iconic muscle car to finally come in October in either four-cylinder or V8 form with prices worrying other similarly powered sports cars.
After letting the Thai grey market enjoy sales of the iconic Mustang, Ford Thailand has confirmed official imports of it with the first batch arriving in October.
The American car brand said it is now taking orders for its brand-building sports car at 19 selected dealerships nationwide.
Two engine variances will be on offer, both with 10-speed automatic transmission driving the rear wheels. They include the 5.0-litre V8 GT and 2.3-litre Ecoboost priced at 4.799 and 3.599 million baht respectively.
Such prices are deemed attractive because they not only undercut that of the BMW M2 (370hp and 6 million baht) but also the similarly sized M4 (431hp and 8 million baht).
Ford says it will announce full specification at a later date. Power outputs for both motors in the UK -- a right-hand drive market like Thailand -- are 450hp and 290hp accordingly.
The Thai Ford office has announced that both models come with the Performance Pack consisting of limited-slip differential, 19-inch wheels and Brembo brakes. A 12-inch display accommodating the brand’s latest Sync 3 infotainment has also been confirmed.
The Mustang is now in its sixth generation and has just been given a mid-life update this year. It’s the first time the Mustang is being sold officially in the country, thanks to the availability of right-hand drive in OEM form for the first time.
