New EU model sightings

[Dwilliamp]

Will EU/UK get the drift brake? I’m only really bothered because I’d prefer it to the small button that you get without it.

The most likely reason is because it'd cost Ford many thousands of ££/$$ to crash test/homologate all the handling pack parts, which would just be added to the cost of the car, potentially making it unviable.

However, just as with the Mach 1, you'll be able to transform your Darkhorse with the Handling Pack items once the car is yours as a number of people here in the UK have done. There are a few specialists that can do this for you.

Yes I think you’re right. But seems like a perfect storm of bureaucratic EU regulations and Ford being too lazy to at least try and homologate. Look at the stuff Porsche, Lamborghini etc get away with in terms of their kit. If Ford is charging £60k + for a car they need to improve the handling and performance of the Dark Horse.

Can we option a different spoiler?

The base EU Dark horse has this small spoiler lip. The wing seems to be optional

When will release Ford price and launch dates?

The EU models were pushed back from summer 2023 to summer 2024. Ordering will start "early 2024", so I wouldn't expect prices before 2024

LOL WTF is that .... Aussie Mustangs better have the wing.

The DH needs the big US Handling package wing to look "visually balanced" to me. Would be the first part to order from US shops for an export DH

Would be very cheap with the shipping rates now....... , but agreed anything else on a DH is not viable

If they're offering the Performance Pack on the EU GTs, why wouldn't they?

Porsche and Lamborghini can get away with that because their customer base has so much FU money that the price doesn't really matter - it'll get purchased anyway. The Mustang's is the exact opposite of that, and even then we still think it's more on the expensive side...

8 years ago MSRP on a 911 Carrera was under 6 figures. Now you're shelling out $110k+. The Mustang GT is still under 50, even including price increases.

I don’t know, I’m just asking. I guess I wouldn’t be surprised if some EU law restricted it.

Ford or Ford Performance really neerd to offer more for their car parts. That "normal" wing in the GT is almost 10 years old and they didn't come up with options since then except this DH wing or some special editions only reserved for the USA.

Why can't they just offer 1 or 2 further options like duck tails etc. I am pretty sure people would buy and equip them.

Lamborghini maybe but Porsche are two to a penny in UK. Can pick up a Cayman GTS for about £70k.
Anyway without wanting to get side tracked, look at the kit on the previous gen Honda Civic Type R! Telling me that Honda can produce this and Ford can’t give us in Europe even some of the US handling pack?! Ford could give us say a European handling pack at least. Something half as good as the US one. This isn’t no £35k car anymore but expected to be £60-70k. Not forgetting we’re expected to get less than 450hp for Dark Horse.

Found these pictures, don't know if that's actually a new spot or I just missed those

 

[JamesAnd]

For all the criticisms of the European Mustang with lack of handling pack, less than 450hp Dark Horse etc - the design especially the front is a huge improvement over the 2018 S550 refresh.

Just wanted to share this official image of the european rearlights. Lower part as seen on preproduction cars are the sequential turn signals. Just wondering why the car has a small rear spoiler

because we get shafted in Europe

Not sure of the pricing in DE but the Bronco prices here in Sweden do not leave me with any hope for the Stang!

these are 50k-ish USD in US here they start from 93k EUR(102K USD) with the conversion rate we have today

edit: Ok much lower in DE for the Bronco, starting from 74.5K EUR but still ....
