I'd love to be wrong though .

Of course we won’t see the gt here, it’s only made in lhd. The thing is ford australia have impressed the yanks with the number of mustangs sold here. And now it has a solid foothold there is a higher potential we might see the gt500 or at least the bullitt mustang built in rhd. It makes sense. Wether it happens we will see though.

The GT supercar and GT350 were limited builds IIRC, so theres no real need to sell them outside of America.

I noticed the Grand Tour had a preview for season 3, featuring a Mustang. The first two seasons aired starting December. Season 3 is bumped to January. Coinciding with the launch of the GT500 because they have already filmed it, but are under embargo? That’s my theory.

That plenum looks sick.

Pretty sure the Mustang in that trailer is a Roush RTR

Can't wait for the reveal, such is the pity that we will enver see it here.......

Nikked · 02-12-2018, 06:17 PM

I wonder if ford will consider an export hi-po model given the success of the Bullit?

PRO-GT · 03-12-2018, 09:00 AM

I think they need to consider it seeing as the Australian market does not really have a good choice of high performance cars you can buy brand new outside of European models which are incredibly expensive (Think AMG and M model BMW).

The success of the mustang should tip them over the edge but will wait and see I suppose.

If it actually comes to Australia it will be priced well north of 100k.

$115,000 is my guess. And even at that price the Mustang is well out of its comfort zone. At 50 to 75k its ok but the lack of quality would really stick out at 100+

Looks to be legit ahead of tonight's reveal.

**DJM83** · 14-01-2019, 09:28 AM

No manual?

Any idea what time the reveal is?

no idea on both fronts, i'd say around 9pm our time if previous reveals are anything to go on.

I’m tipping it won’t.

Don’t hold your breath, the chances of it coming here are basically zero !

CoupeKing · 14-01-2019, 11:13 AM

It will probably be the best all-rounder to come out of North America - well, for it's price anyway.

Bossxr8 · 14-01-2019, 12:06 PM

It will be savagely fast with the DCT. Surprising there is no manual. But DCT will outperform it so go with best available imo.

DCT to me is a reliability concern

How come it’s based on the old model?

I hope they bring it here, they’d be mad not to.

It is the current model.

They won't.

Shares panels with the GT350 which is pre facelift.
