Ford Reveals Official Pricing for New Mustang in South Africa

Set to officially arrive on showroom floors next month, Ford has now teased enthusiasts with pricing on the all-new seventh-generation Mustang.

Ford South Africa has announced pricing for the highly anticipated new seventh-generation Mustang, set to launch in October 2024. Continuing a 60-year-old legacy, the newcomer still retains the rumble of a naturally aspirated V8 and the classic lines of a two-door coupe.

Dubbed as the ‘most exhilarating version yet’, Ford mentions that the latest Mustang owes its interior styling to a fighter jet-inspired digital cockpit. That aside, under the bonnet remains a 5.0-litre V8 engine which is offered in different states of tune depending on the grade. A two-model strong lineup will arrive, with a GT Fastback being the first and the Dark Horse slated for a Q4 arrival. The atmospheric unit has been tuned to produce 328 kW and 540 N.m in the new GT while the Dark Horse has a power output of 372 kW.

Ford has only unveiled the pricing on the aforementioned GT which will be available from October and as anticipated by CAR Magazine, it will cost R1.3 million. It is worth noting that the GT comes standard with the Performance Pack, offering a range of track-focused features designed to enhance the driving experience.

Ford puts a price tag on all-new Mustang GT ahead of South African launch

South Africans will soon be able to get their hands on the seventh-generation Ford Mustang, with the new muscle car scheduled to go on sale in October.

Just one model will be offered initially, with the Mustang GT Fastback 5.0L V8 listed at R1,300,000. The more ferocious Mustang Dark Horse is expected to reach local shores later in 2024.

Although it is still available with a four-cylinder turbocharged engine overseas, Ford SA has thankfully opted to stick with the V8-only policy for our market - because why would you want anything else in a Mustang?

Ford has also made it easier to appease those friends and onlookers who want you to give it a good rev. Now you can do so remotely via the key fob while the car is parked thanks to a new Remote Rev function.

In the SA-spec Mustang GT, the updated 5.0-litre normally aspirated Coyote V8 is tuned to 328kW and 540Nm. That’s 2kW less but 11Nm more than the current iteration musters.
