KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, 18 October 2018 – Ford recently celebrated the production of its 10 millionth Mustang – America’s best-selling sports car of the last 50 years and the world’s best-selling sports car three years straight.
The 10 millionth Ford Mustang is a high-tech, 460 horsepower 2019 Wimbledon White GT V8 six-speed manual convertible equipped with the latest driver assist technology and built at Ford’s Flat Rock Assembly Plant in Michigan. The first serialized Mustang (VIN 001) produced in 1964 was the same color and model with a three-speed manual transmission and 164 horsepower V8.
“Mustang is the heart and soul of this company and a favorite around the world,” said Jim Farley, president of global markets, Ford Motor Company. “I get the same thrill seeing a Mustang roll down a street in Detroit, London or Beijing that I felt when I bought my first car – a 1966 Mustang coupe that I drove across the country as a teenager. Mustang is a smile-maker in any language.”
During its 54-year production history, Mustang also was built in San Jose, Calif., Metuchen, N.J., and the original Mustang production facility in Dearborn, Mich.
A Hit in Asia Pacific
Ford started exporting the Mustang officially in 2015, and today, Mustang is available in 140 countries across the globe, including key markets in Asia Pacific such as China, Australia, India and The Philippines.
More than just a sports car, Mustang is a cultural icon, with owners and fans gathering in Mustang car clubs all throughout the region. Mustang clubs can be found in countries as diverse as Taiwan, Malaysia and New Zealand.
