Because of the boring European legislation, European Mustangs does not look as cool as US-specification Mustangs. Despite looking cooler, US Mustangs also perform a lot better. In this video you can see 10 reasons why they are different. When it comes to aesthetics, US cars get hood vents while European do not. That`s because of dull pedestrian legislation. When it comes to power, Mustangs in the US have more. This is because of the right-hand drive conversion needed for the UK. EU` Stangs don`t get the 3.73:1 final drive ratio as well. Instead, they get the 3.5:521.
The European Stangs have different rear lights while those in the US are red. In Europe the rear lights are clear and feature amber turn lights that flash in one of the three bars. Europe doesn`t get the V6 engine option…this one may be actually good. It`s the weakest of the bunch with 300HP. Other way in which the European differ from the US Mustangs is that the former have fatter door mirrors. Mustang is very expensive in Europe as well. You can buy a V8 Mustang in the US for the same price as a Focus ST in Europe. Check out the video below and tell us what you think.
