2024 Mustang Australia (AU) Pricing and Timing Schedule

[trumpeteer_au]

Just a basic GT A10 Auto in Atlas Blue, although I can add Magneride later, I am more of the old school preferring a more bone jarring experience to remind me of what I am driving.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought magnaride only made the ride harder, not softer.

I had my 2016 for 6 years and I often drove the newer models when mine was in for service. I always found they were a bit harsher in the suspension than mine.

For that reason I got magnaride on my 2022 so I could adjust for comfort or handling according to the occasion.

To me it only gets stiffer with no softer setting. Mines a daily drive so I need some comfort over Sydney's roads.

I'm used to it now but I definitely found the 2022 a little bit more hard core than the 2016 model.

I could be wrong, but my understanding is Magneride as you indicate, has various comfort to sport settings, the normal or default mode is softer - or better absorbs the bumps than the standard shocks.

Anyway, I am having second thoughts, and I probably will get them, as it seems the come with the Red Brembos.

If there is a softer setting I'd like to know, but I've even read the instructions and couldn't find anything.

Sorry, by "Softer", it would be more accurate to say Smoother - by actively adjusting and absorbing the bumps, with less jarring. Would that be more accurate?

Obviously in the process of updating the website to include the "all-new" Mustang.

What, are FoA finally moving on a new Mustang model coming to Aust' ?

Could have fooled me ! Might be just in time for the MY25.

The latest Savage Geese video, although comparing a GT to the latest "Neesan" Z, praise the Mustang's MagneRide dampers.

I’ve asked elsewhere but does anyone know if S650 will follow FM - FN designation in Australia.
White tail lamps?
Jumbo mirrors?
Can the front indicator be sequential?
GT faux petrol cap removed?
Wonder if drift brake will be deactivated.
I’d love a manual convertible - available in US, not sure why we can’t have it.
Also be interesting to see a number plate on the front of one.
thx

UPDATE: Official Au Mustang Specs and Pricing Delayed to Early October 2023

Looks like "early October" at the earliest for FoA Pricing and Specs on the MY24 Mustang.
Ben Nightingale (the “Product Communications and Motorsport Manager for Ford Australia”) kindly responded to my enquiry on Facebook re anticipated timing for FoA Mustang Pricing & Specs:

"There are a variety of Australian homologation requirements that must be completed before spec is finalised and pricing can be set. This work was delayed due to production of US cars not beginning until last month. The target to get all of these details out to dealers and customer is early October. First cars are due to arrive in Australia in early 2024."

Personally, I have not heard anything regarding Model Designation for the Au S650 (I dont know if anyone else knows), and I hope they ditch the faux rear Petrol Cap, like the donor US car.

Judging by the Au "Gen 3 Supercars", (which are supposedly reflective of the road car appearance), White Tail lights should be continued into the MY24.

The Drift bake and Sequential Blinkers will have to be approved through ADR / Homologation, which apparently is yet to be done.

Appreciate the update, Steve.
At least that puts to rest the last rumored date of 4th Sep, tomorrow!
