Its a Pre-Production RHD Car, so hopefully some details like the centre console and Tail Lights may not be 100% representative of the final product. We will just have to wait for more info.
From 2015 until at least now, Ford have not bothered to reverse the Centre Console for the (world) RHD Market. It will be interesting to see if they finally get their act together for the MY24 Mustang - but not holding my breath!
I was disappointed when I saw the centre console in my 2016 but I got used to it.
Yes, I would be surprised if we get the Strut Tower Brace, Torsen Diff or Drift Brake (as we did not get any of those or Line Lock previously), although at over $1,100 for a set of rear tyres, I would not be keen to use it anyway !Will be interesting to see if our vehicles are actually equiped with the strut tower brace and drift brake handle.
What else can Ford strip out of the US Premium variant to keep their costs down when supplying a foreign market that has a crap exchange rate?
It would not surprise me one iota if we get this:
Hope for the best.
Expect the worst.
With a 6-Sp manual on pre-order (and allocated!), the more I think about this, the more it annoys me.
:angry:
The Michelins were kept on the UK S550 right up to the end, despite the US Performance Pack reverting to Pirellis for the last two model years, so I hope we still get the Michelins!
Lets hope so TT, definitely not looking forward to a repeat experience of the pathetic Pirellis!! It really would be a big step (or slip and slide) backwards.
When did you find out about your allocation? I rang my dealer 2 weeks ago and he couldn't tell me squat. I only put my order and deposit down in April 23 so maybe that has something to do with it.With a 6-Sp manual on pre-order (and allocated!), the more I think about this, the more it annoys me.
When you consider the drift brake is just a fancy looking switch with a spring loaded actuator handle, there are no mechanical linkages or handbrake cable paths to the rear end to worry about.
Whereas a simple wiring loom for the new drift brake switch can be run almost anywhere... meaning it would have been relatively easy to position the drift brake on the correct side for RHD vehicles.
End of July.
The Second round of Allocations was scheduled for November, but don't be surprised if it is December or January, as Pricing, Features and Spec' ADR Homologation have been pushed back over a month, which will probably cause a Domino-Effect of delays.
I forgot to mention that from the 2018 model, there was a difference in Tyres between the standard US GT and the Performance Pkg, where the Std GT had the Pirellis and the Perf Pkg had the Michelins, and I read somewhere that Ford US have opted to return the Pirellis for the Perf Pkg.
