What’s happening?
On April 17, 1964, the first generation Ford Mustang was born, a model that today is a legend and a benchmark in sports cars. From there, the link with Mexico was born, developed and evolved into the future. Because?
Well, between 1965 and 1984, Mustang was produced in Mexico, reaching an iconic figure in 1972 of 25,000 units. During that time and thanks to the talent of Mexican engineers, Mustang became a highly successful model.
Then in 1973, Ford introduced the Mustang II with four-cylinder and six-cylinder engines. However, thanks to the talent of Ford engineers in Mexico, they managed to make the model fit a 5.0-liter V8 engine. This feat was a great feat, which would later be taken up in the United States.
Thanks to this work carried out by Mexican engineers, this second generation of Mustang, it was a hit in sales during the five years it was marketed, exceeding 1.1 million units sold.
In addition to the above, the Mustang in Mexico has created strong links such as:
Being a participant in more than 30 Mexican movies.
And have exclusive editions, such as the Frey Van Berreen.
Mexico occurs again, after going out of production in 1984, but now it returns in a forward-thinking electric SUV like the Ford Mustang Macha-E.
This electric car, which has a 480 Hp engine and 634 lb-ft of torque, is currently in 39 countries and more than 150,000 units of the model have been manufactured.
Regarding the seventh generation, again the Mexican engineers applied their talent in its design as well as in the validation tests.
