Pretty sure they said it was one of 12 global performance products before 2020. I don't see why Australia wouldn't get it.

Impressive. Agree that the rear wing is a bit much, but probably more function over form in this case I'd say. Carbon fibre wheels are cool! You'd be gutted if you kerbed them though...

Me thinks this will humiliate a lot of pricier vehicles on the track.

It would be a huge shame if we don't get a chance to buy this and the GT350 here.

19x11 and 19x11.5 rear wheels, this thing is going to have huge amounts of grip.

Looks very very nice. I love the rear wing.. Will Australia get any of these 'Limited" versions of the Mustang in future??
Dam you Ford, that Mustang would have looked so bloody great racing around Bathurst... |

It’s funny the Drive article quotes the fronts as being 19x10. I guess for some journalists, close enough is good enough. Quote:

That wing doesn't look too bad, far better that the thing on the boot of the HSV GTS

Wonder if you could ring Ford US and ask for one in right hand drive and stick it on a boat?

What a beast. Fords line up of cars is getting rather impressive. Keen to see whats install for the GT500. Same specs but with TT perhaps?

Carbon Revolution in Geelong. They definitely look like them. I've picked up one of these wheels before and they are unbelievably light.

Love the new liquid blue colour. Not sure on the rear spoiler. Prefer the lip spoiler. Looks like Ford Performance are producing some exciting cars. Wish Ford Australia were in a position to offer some of these cars.

The problem is that Australia market was not considered for these new RHD Ford performance models.

When all the other manufacturers are saying performance versions of their cars sell in much greater percentages in Australia than anywhere else.
Another One Ford Fail. |

Yeah they sell more AMGs here than anywhere else by percentage over the range. I think its one in 10?

Yes but do those percentage numbers convert to sales that actually make it worth everyone's effort?
Ford is looking to be ultra competitive AND profitable around the whole globe. Not drop in and out of markets as trial and errors don't work, not unlike the fiasco with OPEL last year! |

I have a spare kidney available...
I'm sure throwing enough money at FordUS you'd be able to get one imported. Does LHD matter if it's a dedicated track toy?
