Mustang Ford Mustang - world’s best-selling sports car

[Noah_th]

In 2019 Ford sold an incredible 102,090 examples globally of its Mustang.

Mustang sales increased by 33% in Germany, and nearly 50% in Poland. 9,900 cars found homes in Europe during 2019, a 3 % rise year-on-year, with 1,300 of them on UK roads.

The Ford Mustang is offered in several flavours with your choice of coupe or convertible in all but the coupe-only Bullitt special edition. The entry-level car uses the Focus RS’ 2.3-litre EcoBoost four-cylinder engine producing 290bhp. However, the car you really want features a 5.0-litre naturally-aspirated V8 engine churning out 460bhp.

Indeed, the current Mustang appears to appeal to the tastes of the EU marketplace. I see them quite often. And configurated tastefully, it can be downright elegant.:

I would bet that at least 70% of the Mustang's sales in Europe are to people originating from the US.

There are relatively few U.S.-Americans who reside here in northern Germany. The majority of U.S.-Americans can be found in southern and southwestern Germany, where the U.S. military presence was strong up until the early 1990s'. Nowadays, outside of the Ramstein/Sembach/Landstuhl facilities in Rheinland-Pfalz, Stuttgart in Baden-Württemberg and Wiesbaden in Hessia, there aren't many U.S.-Americans in Germany at all. Of course, in Frankfurt/Main, I imagine that a good number of U.S. nationals are employed with American financial institutions there. And Berlin...well...there are ALL SORTS of nationalities in larger numbers that reside there.

I have a German cousin who lives in Dusseldorf and his dad owns a Mustang GT V8.

I know that in Germany the specialist for American cars is Geigercars in Munich and their major customers are US nationals.

Yep-Karl Geiger has his own TV series on Germanys' DMAX channel. "Der Geiger: Boss Of Big-Blocks". It's quite entertaining. Especially the often featured travelogues in which he travels to the U.S. to find and purchase classic "Detroit Muscle". He has a "special thing" for vintage 1950s and early 1960s' Corvettes. He appears very well-connected there.
