Ford Australia may have notched up more than 2000 orders for its first official Mustang more than six months before it arrives here in December, but if you're keen you can own one right now.
That's right, the 303kW V8-powered 2015 Ford Mustang Fastback GT is now available to drive away in, via Mustang Motorsport.
The Melbourne-based pony car specialist is the first – and we expect it will be the only – company to supply the new Mustang in right-hand drive with full Australian Design Rule compliance.
Only a handful will be made before Ford Australia delivers its first ex-factory RHD models in December.
As Australia's only authorised Shelby Mod Shop, Mustang Motorsport can even build you a 2015 Shelby GT packing 625hp (466kW) as standard or up to 700hp (522kW), courtesy of a Roush supercharger kit that will be available for the new Mustang GT from Australia's official Ford Performance Racing and Roush Performance agent Herrod Motorsport.
The only catch is a starting price of $125,000, which is $80,000 more than Ford's official entry-level EcoBoost Fastback manual ($44,990 plus on-road costs) and $70,000 more than the Fastback GT on which it's based (from $54,990 plus ORCs).
That hasn't stopped one well-heeled Mustang fan from purchasing the first RHD Mustang GT in Australia, where the only other 2015 Mustangs to arrive so far are a pair of LHD show cars owned by Ford Australia.
For an eye-watering $289,000, Mustang Motorsport is now also offering complete and rolling Signature series Super Snake versions of the iconic Shelby GT500, powered by a hyper-blown 5.8-litre V8 that slams down a staggering 850hp (634kW).
