CarThrottle Flogs UK-Spec Mustang GT

One of the biggest pieces of news for the new 2016 Mustang is that thanks to a few changes, like the EcoBoost engine and the independent rear suspension, Ford has started making right-hand drive models and is selling it in the U.K. and across Europe. This new globally-pleasing ‘Stang had to go through a few changes to meet U.K. regulations, but you can still order with it with that thumping-great Coyote V8 heart that will fill Britain with a little taste of U.S. fury.

One of our favorite U.K.-based teams, CarThrottle, recently had a chance to give one of these new Mustangs a review, and the results are expectedly fun and hilarious. Listening to a young Brit bang on about how great all of our meaty American torque is will never get old, even if we have to hear a few “look it turns!” jokes thrown into the mix.

After a bit of road driving, there is a small stint of track use, including a cameo from one of Ford’s new racing drivers for the GT racing program. Finally, they round out the video with some gratuitous use of Line Lock for massive burnouts. Because Mustang.
