Ford Mustang, the world's favorite pony car, will be on show at Ford's inaugural Go Further event in Sandton, Johannesburg, on 17 July 2014.

The world's most liked vehicle on Facebook promises exceptional performance and refinement while embracing the Mustang's half-century of heritage and status as a global icon. Notably, it will be the most modern Mustang to date, boasting independent rear suspension, a first for the vehicle that will transform the way it handles. Equipment levels will also be on par with what customers have come to expect of Ford's smart vehicles, including technologies such as SYNC® 2, Blind spot Information System with Cross Traffic Alert, and other driver aid systems.

Over 9 million of the same have been sold since it was first launched in 1964 making thousands of appearances in film, television, music and video games, and is one of 17 new vehicles that Ford will launch in South Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa by the end of 2015.

"We're proud to have Mustang back in South Africa – and this model is the best Mustang yet," says Kaufman. "Longtime admirers will be able to see an icon return to South African roads, and we are confident the new Mustang will bring even more fans to the brand."

Several key design features define the new Ford Mustang, including:

  • A low roof height and wide stance
  • Sleek profile enabled by steeply sloped windshield and rear glass
  • Three-dimensional, tri-bar taillamps
  • Contemporary execution of the iconic car's signature shark-bite front fascia
