For the first time in its entire existence, those individuals across the pond will be able to purchase a true-from-the-factory right-hand drive Mustang. In an effort to build a truly global platform, Ford began its shakedown of the first-ever, right-hand-drive Mustang.

The new Mustang will be sold in 25 separate RHD countries, as well as a few other markets that are LHD.

It looks kinda...wrong. No?

And those clear taillights, with amber reflectors on the rear, look very cluttered and "off."

A little of me just died

Automatic 5.0

I can see the auzzies burning the tires off of them until they pop.

It's just the natural order of things! can't expect to sell a left hand driving car in Europe where right hand is the way of life.

Maybe now, the show Top Gear will have something nicer to say about the mustang haha!

Even smoked/tinted lens would have been better.
The clear is way too white.

friedmaster

I believe it's a requirement for the UK -- turn signals must illuminate orange... so it was either orange or white.

Boomer

What's wrong with a tinted lens?


The LED would still be amber or red.
If that was the case, RED/RED/AMBER would look better than the white.

Krohn

Yeah... the RHD, of course! It's required in other places...
... but those awful taillights... someone dropped the ball there.

The last time the mustang was on Top Gear (gt500) Clarkson actually liked it, he just complained that the interior felt cheap and your pretty much buying an engine and wheels for the money.

JoeMidnight

Yeah, but he also complained that the tank was too small, the ride was too firm? I can't remember exactly, . I just remember him saying his back hurt by the time he had finished his journey on that episode something about the voice assistant (I believe)

Its been a few months since I've seen that episode, I don't exactly recall him being overly "thrilled" with the ride. plus if you watch his show. all lefthand drive cars are on the "wrong" spot according to him, maybe this will change his tune

I don't see why he didn't get the fact that the GT500 pound for pound is a really good piece of machinery! I guess their just used to driving around in exotic cars worth 3x more money.

mustangfan410

You're probably right, he's too use to driving exotics when it comes to comfort and the tank being too small. As far as the Left hand drive being I the wrong side, he drives a lot of cars that have left hand drives. Also according to him most of the world drives on the wrong side of the road, and we should drive on the left side.

It's got bigger, uglier mirrors too

JoeMidnight

I haven't had the pleasure of sitting in one yet, has anyone else? I'm wondering if its because the back-end is wider?

I know when you sit inside of the camaro, all the you see is the a$$ of the camaro in your side mirrors... wonder if this is why the Mustang has larger mirrors.

Don's Stang

It's only the euro spec mustangs that get bigger side mirrors
