Ford Mustang South African prices revealed

There are cars and there are legendary icons. Today I finally got behind the wheel of one of the most famous car icons – the Ford Mustang.

The latest Mustang was officially unveiled on 17 April 2014 to mark its 50^th anniversary, is now finally available for sale to South Africans following the commencement of right-hand drive production for the first time. South Africa is one of the first right-hand drive countries to get the Mustang.

Selectable Effort Electric Power Assisted Steering enables drivers to choose a Normal, Comfort or Sport steering weight and feel.
