Ford Mustang - 2015 first drive

Ford Mustang Fastback, driving

Both fastback (coupĂ©) and convertible models are offered, with a choice of two petrol engines. The flagship 5.0-litre V8 is a classic 'stang motor. With a 391lb ft thump of torque and 415bhp, it’ll fire you from 0-62mph in 4.8sec on its way to a 155mph maximum. As you might expect, it guzzles "gas", and with 299g/km of CO2 you’ll be paying the same to tax your £33,000 Ford as you would a £260,000 Lamborghini Aventador.
