Ford Mustang Reigns Supreme as America’s Best-Selling Sports Car and More
The iconic Ford Mustang kicks off its seventh decade with a double victory. Not only is it the reigning champion of American sports cars based on 2023 U.S. registrations, but it’s also held the title of the world’s best-selling sports car for an impressive ten years straight! Ford revealed that over 59,000 Mustang vehicles found happy homes in 2023, pushing them closer to a monumental milestone: 1 million Mustangs delivered in the last 10 years! This sales surge was fueled by the arrival of the all-new seventh-generation Mustang in North America. But get ready, the world! Gearheads in China, Europe, Australia, and South America will be able to experience the latest Mustang magic later in 2024.
“We’ve sold more Mustangs in our history than the population of major cities like Chicago, London, or Seoul. As we get set to celebrate Mustang’s 60th anniversary, that same passion and excitement continues with our seventh-generation Mustang, now headed to customers in 85 markets around the world,” said Jeff Marentic, General Manager, North America/Global Truck, Family, and Enthusiast Vehicles.
Ford celebrates Mustang’s 60th anniversary in style! This week at the New York Auto Show, they unveiled a special Vermillion Red and Ebony Black logo, a homage to the classic badging and wheel caps of the 1964 World’s Fair debut Mustang.
But the party doesn’t stop there! Owners of the sleek seventh-generation Mustang can look forward to a mysterious anniversary surprise coming to their cars around April 17th. To unlock this secret feature, simply turn on “Automatic Software Updates” in Mustang’s SYNC 4 settings menu. Get ready for a special way to celebrate six decades of Mustang magic!
