Which are the differences between the European Mustang and the American Mustang?

in #cars7 years ago

I'm going to talk about the top 10 differences that exist between Ford Mustang models depending on the purchase in America or in Europe. The origin of the differences is in the laws, since there are different legislations in each place.

This sixth generation of Mustang is the first for sale in Europe beyond import and you can get the cheapest model, the 2.3 EcoBoost from 39500 euros. But this will not be the same car that you would take in America, the most detailed differences are:

1- In Europe the ventilation outlets that we find in the American Mustang are not allowed because of the safety rules regarding the violation.

2- Another difference is the power ratio: 3.71: 1 in the case of the United States and 3: 55: 1 in Europe, which will give you a higher top speed at the cost of worse acceleration.

3- The power of the engines is slightly changeable, due to a smaller manifold installed to allow the steering on the right side, but also affects in Europe those who have the steering wheel on the left side.

4- The colors of the taillights are different according to the continent.

5- As for the headlights, the three mythical vertical bars are in America the daytime running lights, while in Europe they are destined to the fog lights.

6- The Mustang V6 of 3.7 liters we are marketed in Europe, like the Shelby GT350 and GT350R.

7- By normative, the European mirrors are more voluminous.

8- In general they are cheaper in the United States.

9- In the United Kingdom they are not sold with Recaro seats.

10- The last difference is more in the consumer than in the vehicle itself. In the United Kingdom the most successful is the mythical sound of the V8, while in Spain is sold more 2.3 EcooBoost. Sales in the United States are more divided.
