Since its first release at the New York World's Fair in 1964, the Ford Mustang has celebrated its 60th anniversary, and on April 18, Beijing time, the official image of the Ford Mustang 60th Anniversary Edition was officially released. The new model will be based on the Mustang GT Premium, limited to 1,965 units, and is scheduled to be available for order overseas in the summer of 2024, followed by a general launch in the fourth quarter.
The exterior of the car has been tweaked in a number of details, with the front grille featuring a retro-style mesh trim, silver accents on the inside of the grille to enhance the visual impact, and the headlights with blacked-out accents to further enhance the sporty look. In terms of exterior colours, the new car is available in three exterior colours: white, Race Red and Vapor Blue.
Coming to the side, the main eye-catcher is the new five-spoke 20-inch wheels, as well as exclusive badges on the fenders and exclusive latte flowers on the side skirts, all of which pay homage to the original model. In addition, the new car will be fitted with silver mirror housings (the white exterior is the same color as the body), which echoes the wheels.
Inside, the new car will have an exclusive logo on the center console, but perhaps the most exciting thing for fans is that it will be equipped with a very retro instrument cluster design, full of mechanical style and more exciting driving desire. It is reported that the instrument style will also be available for all 2024 Mustang models through OTA upgrades.
In terms of power, the new car is still powered by a 5.0-liter V8 engine with a maximum power of 480 horsepower, and the drivetrain is available with a 6-speed manual transmission or a 10-speed automatic transmission, and the rear-wheel drive is adopted. At the same time, the new car will still be available in hard-top and soft-top convertible versions for consumers to choose from.
New Car History:
In the 60-year history of the Ford Mustang, there have been seven generations, and the concept version of the original model was first introduced in 1962 and officially named the Mustang, which is also named a tribute to the legendary fighter of the American military during World War II. The production model was first released in 1964 and launched in 1965, creating a new Pony Car segment. The car quickly became the hottest product in the North American market, with more than 1 million orders in its first 18 months.
The second and third generations were born in 1974 and 1978 respectively, and the two generations were affected by the oil crisis and were equipped with small-displacement engines, coupled with design controversies and other factors, which led to a decline in market performance and a significant reduction in classicism.
The fourth and fifth generations were born in 1990 and 2003 respectively, of which the fifth generation regained the elements of the original product in terms of design, and officially landed in the Chinese market through official channels in 2011. The sixth-generation product was launched in 2015 and introduced to China at the same time, and it is worth mentioning that in 2018, the Ford Mustang also officially achieved 10 million global sales. In 2022, the seventh-generation product was officially launched, and the Dark Horse version of this generation is currently sold in the domestic market, which is equipped with a 5.0L V8 engine and the price starts at 725,000 yuan.
Editor's Comments:
After 60 years of history, the Ford Mustang has gone from being a national treasure to Waterloo and then to a comeback. And today's Ford Mustang is also like a "calm and peaceful old man", watching the current "young people" fighting for the hit head, just smiled softly and said, and it is far from when I was young. Finally, I just want to say: Happy birthday Ford Mustang!
