Before the fifth-generation Mustang bids farewell, Ford is launching an all black limited edition model. The only catch is, it'll be sold solely in Japan.

Only in japan? Well I guess it makes sense selling it there, because no American is dumb enough to spend $50k for it.

They already have that... order it in black.
Wonder who is the marketing genius behind that one, and when can we expect the "white edition"?

Let's see if they like being gouged on a car price like they do to us on a Japanese car.

I was stationed in Yokosuka Japan for 3 years and I can tell you that Mustangs are really rare there and they draw a crowd. That car will probably sell well there. They love American cars. Here is the RX-7 I had when I was there its a 95 converted to single turbo (TD06) really fun but it was hot as hell!

Yeah its a fun car, like a go-cart. The bad thing is they run really hot and the maintenance sucks (changing the seals etc) took a little getting used to shifting with left hand and reaching for a seat belt on the wrong side every morning.
