Ford announces Mustang pricing
With EcoBoost under £28K and V8 under £32K you could almost say it's a bit of a bargain
Okay, so obviously enough, the Mustang is still considerably pricier than a direct translation of its US dollar 'tag into quids; but we're still looking at a 300hp rear-drive coupe for £28,995 in four-cylinder EcoBoost form, and one equipped with a V8 engine for £32,995 before options. The autobox carries a £1,500 supplement, and Convertibles are £4,000 more than Coupes, meaning the priciest V8 GT Convertible auto will set you back £38,495. (For a bit of perspective, the BMW 420i M Sport cabrio officially lists at £37,910.)
UK spec is also far more generous than in the US, with all British Mustangs getting 19-inch alloys, leather seats, the bigger brake package, xenon headlights, Sync 2 connectivity and a nine-speaker audio system. According to the online configurator, options beyond colour and trim choice are limited to 'premium' audio with navigation (£795), climate controlled seats (£495) and reverse parking sensors (£295). There's also a 'Custom' pack that includes all of this and adds blingy nickel-effect alloys for £1,795.
We've also got CO2 numbers for the first time - of obvious relevance to anyone planning to run one as a company motor. They're predictably high, but they're not catastrophically bad, for the EcoBoost at least - the manual four-cylinder Coupe has an official rating of 179gk/km (although the slushy autobox pushes that up to 228g/km). The V8 is, ahem, less good - with the manual Coupe version scoring 299g/km, and with the auto doing better at 281g/km.
The new Mustang is a far more advanced prospect than its crude predecessors, and will get here with its steering wheel on the right side. 'Bargain' is an over-used term in the motor industry, but in bang-per-buck terms both the EcoBoost and the GT look set to be unbeatable.

Also will there be tunning options offered by ford or at least a easy supply of stuff from the US I am thinking Supercharger and like 500+ BHP for less than 40k sound basically amazing
V8 coupe for me. Any colour as long as it's lairy.
I think the muscle cars were typically 7 litre monsters (rat engines) in a full-size 2-door bodyshell rather then the small-block 5 litre mouse engines. Challenger and stuff like that. Meanwhile the British were wheezing about in wheezy 1300cc 4-pots!
You brits have the rainy weather, we have the silly car prices
