COLOGNE, Germany, March 13, 2015 – It was a web stampede a half century in the making.

Potential customers flooded Ford websites to virtually design, specify options and price nearly 500,000 all-new Ford Mustang models in the first month Mustang was available to order across Europe in the vehicle’s 50-year history.

During the first week, more Mustang models were specified online than any other Ford vehicle. Ford Mustang websites, enabling customers to build and price a Mustang to a chosen specification attracted more than 1.1 million visits from mid-January to mid-February.

Data for that period indicated that all-new Mustang model equipped with the 314 PS 2.3-litre EcoBoost engine accounted for half of all models configured online. The other half were specified with the 418 PS 5.0-litre V8 engine.

“The rush to configure Mustang online represents 50 years of pent up demand across Europe,” said Roelant de Waard, vice president, Marketing, Sales & Service, Ford of Europe. “For some people across Europe, all‑new Mustang is the car they have waited for their whole lives.”

Confirming European tastes for sports cars with accessible performance the most popular specification overall was the EcoBoost-equipped model with six-speed manual transmission, chosen for 37 per cent of models configured. Manual transmissions overall accounted for two-thirds of models specified.

Of the five largest European sales markets – France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the U.K. – the EcoBoost engine was most popular in Italy (61 per cent) and Spain (59 per cent) and France (55 per cent). The powerful 5.0-litre V8 engine was most popular in Germany (60 per cent) and the U.K. (54 per cent).

The top colours were Race Red and black, each accounting for 20 per cent of models configured across Europe. In the biggest five sales markets, the most popular colours were:

• France – Race Red (24 per cent) and black (19 per cent)

• Germany – black (21 per cent) and Race Red (18 per cent)

• Italy – black (27 per cent) and Race Red/Deep Impact Blue (13 per cent)
• Spain – black (27 per cent) and Race Red (19 per cent)
• U.K. –  Race Red (22 per cent) and Deep Impact Blue (17 per cent)

Elsewhere in the world the preferred choice of colour is clearer. In China, where more than 5 million consumers have visited the Ford site to learn more about Mustang, Race Red is the leader, accounting for more than a third of Mustang orders. In the U.S., black is the No. 1 colour.

The Ebony leather interior finish was chosen by 61 per cent across Europe, and 28 per cent of those who configured models online also chose to specify the Custom Pack, which includes:

• “Shaker Pro” premium audio system with navigation

• Climate controlled seats, reverse parking sensors

• Lustre Nickel multi-spoke 19-inch alloy wheels

• Side window chrome surrounds on the fastback model

• Perimeter alarm in selected markets
