HOPEFULLY LESS THAN A YEAR WAIT: New 2018 (MY18) S550.2 Mustang V8 10-speed ordered

Ford 2018 UK Mustang Pricing - Now Official!


EB M6 Coupe: £35,995
EB A10 Coupe: £37,595

V8 M6 Coupe: £41,095
V8 A10 Coupe: £43,095


This confirms the lease pricing which was leaked. :)


Official option pricing

- Custom Pack 1 & 2: £1495
- Custom Pack 3 & 4 (forged wheels): £2295
- Recaro Seats: £1795 (£1400 if custom pack selected)
- Orange Fury / Triple Yellow paint: £795
- Magnetic Ride: £1600
- Black painted roof: £500
- Forged wheels: £795
- Spoiler: £350 (cannot be ordered until January)


I changed to custom pack 2, to me the forged wheels are not worth £700 extra, as such my car total cost is £48,885 so essentially 50k for a Ford, puts it right into BMW M2 territory, Audi RS3, TT RS, A45 AMG, but its a unique car, with a V8 and looks flipping amazing compared to the European stuff on the road in similar price category.

All of them, pretty much. :D

V8 A10 Coupe £43,095
- Mag ride: £1600 (GT 350 full suspension setup more or less, lower arms, counter wound springs, dampers, anti roll bars etc)
- Recaro: £1400
- Custom Pack 2: £1495 (Shaker Pro, Sync 3, NAV, extra leather, black PP wheels, black trim)
- Orange Fury: £795
- Black painted roof: £495

Total: £48,885


Custom pack 4 includes forged wheels, I do not think they are worth £700 more as I dislike the design and colour, so I can put that £700 towards my own set.
Don't want the spoiler as not keen on it, will buy and fit my own spoiler.

Car comes with active exhaust which is loud as standard, digital dash, DRL's, heated wheel, lane assist, radar cruise and a load of other junk.

Official factory performance is claimed to be:
0-60: 3.9s (A10 only) Manual is 4.4s
0-100: 8.5s (A10 only)
1/4 mile: 11.9@119mph (A10 only)

Peak power at 7500rpm so it loves to rev which is kind of power band I like and NA response.

No real big mods planned for this one, simply as it comes a lot more sorted from Ford, the most important option is mag ride for the handling upgrades and the A10 if you want to go quicker. Though the new manual is now improved!

Sounds fantastic, a lot of car for the money, when do you take delivery ;)?

First cars are being built December 4th, but I really wanted the Recaro seats and black painted roof, as such that will probably delay the build by a month or so. I expect delivery around April. :)

Woot! Grats Gibbo, cant wait to see it at a meet! (and take me out for a run :D)

Will be taking it to as many meets as I can, it will be rare and stand out like a giant orange. Will be taking it to Pod, be determined to put it in the 11's though I sense the automatic in this will not be as easy as the Golf which is just a case of foot on brake, floor gas to activate LC and release brake and hold on haha. Mustang does not have LC, so have to hold it on brake myself and experiment.

Want to get it round Curborough as well see how effective this GT 350 mag ride is.

Golf should be an easy sale, got two guys at work fighting over it, lol. But I think that Golf might be the best sub 20k all round car I've owned and certainly the quickest car I've owned, stupid little thing. :D

Fine by me, am in no rush. I am sitting on 684 litecoins that I am prepared to sell but with bitcoin increasing daily I am holding off, but as things stand they are now worth enough to actually pay for the car. I knew mining was worth it, or maybe I just forgot I had that stash of coins. :D

Trade them into bitcoin, wait a few years, sell the bitcoin and retire a millionaire.

In 1 week it has increased by over $2000! People say this bubble will eventually burst but it is crazy. I cry myself to sleep for not jumping on the bandwagon them years ago!
