Ford Mustang Pricing Unveiled

It’s official! Ford South Africa has finally revealed the price of the new Mustang, and well, it's not for the faint-hearted—or the faint-walleted, for that matter. Prepare yourself: the sleek, snarling, SE7ENth-generation Mustang GT Fastback with its monstrous 5.0L V8 engine will set you back a cool R1.3 million. Yep, that’s right. You’ll get change from R1.3 million... if you count cents...

But don’t worry, it comes with all the extras to justify those hefty price tags… like the Performance Pack that ensures your trip to the grocery store feels more like a qualifying lap at Kyalami at FOM. Who wouldn’t want that? And let’s not forget the warranty and Roadside Assistance, because if you're spending that much on a car, the least Ford can do is make sure you’re covered when you inevitably cry over potholes.

The new Mustang is set to roar onto South African roads in October 2024, and with its fighter jet-inspired digital cockpit, you might be mistaken for Maverick in Top Gun, just without the wingman or Goose, the aviators, or the imminent tax deductions needed to afford it. But hey, when that V8 engine sings, no one will care about your missing retirement fund.

And in case you’re not already sold, Ford throws in a corrosion warranty. Because nothing says, "Welcome to your midlife crisis purchase" quite like the assurance that it won't rust... at least not for five years. After that, it’s your problem, champ.

For those of us who can’t even spell ‘R1.3 million,’ there’s always the option of extending the warranty and service plan up to SE7EN years. I mean, why stop at selling one organ when you could leverage future organs you don’t even know you need yet?

So, saddle up (if you can afford it), rev up that engine, and prepare to wow your neighbors!

Happy spending, South Africa!
