Ford has reported that nearly 2,000 orders have rolled in for the 2015 Ford Mustang in the UK since the beginning of the year. The automaker says that 80% of UK customers have opted for the fastback body style over the convertible, and 70% have specified the 5.0 litre V8 GT version over the 2.3 litre EcoBoost model.
In terms of transmissions, 55% of the buyers have specified the S550 in its six-speed Ford/Getrag MT-82 manual guise – the sixth-gen pony car is also available with a ZF-based 6R80 SelectShift auto gearbox with paddle shifters.
