What you say about building what customers really want is so true. It's not a technology contest or about lapping the Nürburgring 0.05 seconds quicker, it's about miles and smiles, and a fabulous soundtrack. Great review!
@@origaminefretami3480 It's more than fast enough for the street. Near 500hp was crazy for street cars not that long ago. 1,000hp is USELESS for a car you actually drive around.
I took delivery of my very own one of these (manual convertible, in yellow) a few days ago and am loving it. It's the first S650 convertible I have seen in the UK, too. I actually think the manual really suits the convertible as the open top and DIY gearshifts really combine with the V8 to immerse you in the experience. Honestly, it's wonderful even at parking speeds.
As an automatic Dark Horse Owner in Luxembourg, having that car is the perfect cruiser as you said, and still perfectly capable of having some track fun and some B roads fun! I’m nearing 12K kms and planning on doing lots of roadtrips with it. I love this car, plus there is no european car in this price range that sounds anywhere close as good as this out of the factory!
@@ZoubeirsWorld Let me guess. The Netherlands? Their prices for performance ICE cars are completely bonkers. I live in one of the neighbouring countries and our prices are sometimes half of the NL prices, though usually "only" 30% cheaper Just checked. The Regular (non Dark Horse) Mustang GT is €69000 when fully optioned out in my country and the Dark Horse is €73500 when fully optioned out
@@solocamo3654 it is when it looks like your ordinary GT. Not many high performance vehicle owners would expect it to literally teleport forward and burn tarmac behind it when you hit it.
The Euro/UK spec ones are a waste of money. 0-100kmh in over 5 seconds for the GT . Literally 0 point in driving a V8 that's super inefficient on fuel just to be slower than a 4-cyl Golf R that cost 20k less. I'm having a US spec 2025 GT imported to the UK right now. I'm going to happily drive a LHD car on UK roads just so I don't have to sacrifice power, speed, and sound. I paid 68k for this car so I want it to be authentic and not some watered down hollow shell of what a mustang really is.
Saw that as well an idiot was driving it. Not allowing the car to shift it self messing up every shift he tried to do with the paddles. And not letting the car do it for it self like the guy was doing in the BMW. the mustang should have won that easily.
Just got mine about a month ago, manual transmission. It does feel a bit slower than my last 5.0 which was an auto but way more fun! And I think this new gen sounds better. The exhaust has some pops that my last Mustang didn’t have. I’m loving it !

Too many car manufacturers have forgotten what a fun car is supposed to be. They are so caught up in trying to have the latest and greatest, that they have forgotten the fundamental reason for having a performance car. To have fun
Fun fact - the gauge cluster you have on when you start the car is a replica and homage of the late 80s and early 90s Foxbody Mustang. So yes, it's intentionally retro.
It actually one of my favourite cars on sale atm and I didn’t think I’d say that about an American car. I’d have the hard top tho, it doesn’t look good with a soft top.
Max you nailed it with this review. Great one! I agree w pretty much every point you made. It is a perfect muscle car 10 speed auto. Some of us drive in heavy traffic at times, for me, in NY now and LA previously. It's not so fun to burn clutches and wreck your legs for hours on end everyday. This is a nice solution with the paddle shifters and 10 speed. The Magnaride suspension is awesome. The style is amazing and the engine is very well developed and has potential to modify, if you want. As it is the performance is sufficient and can compete with many other brands. I would prefer the hardtop though. The trunk space is very usable for a daily and also you can put the rear seats down for more room! I do wish they had made an AWD for all weather driving. When it comes to the BMW and Mercedes w all the phony noises and strange modern quirks, as well as oddball looks at times, I also agree strongly with you. They are trying so hard to please young audiences who do not even know what they really want yet, and get so gimmicky that they lose the great things they USED to be. And have so many problems these days that come up and require expensive service. I just think they got lost within their own images and hence lost the way in taking pride with the best things that were once well developed. This is the same reason, I would rather have a Nissan GTR, than a new Merc or BMW. It is far more refined and the R&D and development is what creates a drivers car that you can truly enjoy fully and rely on for years, not to mention retains it's value!.
I had a 19 Bullitt. Inthe shop a lot. Otherwise a fantastic machine. There is nothing like a big powerful V-8 and a good manual, with a great suspension. I can only guess how much it has improved in 5 years!
My Original comment was deleted... but i hope US Cars never Loose their Soul and i hope the Germans start focusing on Fun and Excitement More and understand that Numbers does not equal Fun and Excitement. It's a shame this Mustang has the Stupid OPF and all the annoying assistance Tech that every experienced driver turns off everytime they start the damn car! But Ford thank you for trying thank you for thinking about us with the drift brake and just keeping the NA V8! & Max you are absolutely right! I also feel like betrayed by Audi BMW and Mercedes and also some others..They can do their stupid SUV's Stupid EV's put in all the fake sound and screens and annoying assistance Tech they want in those cars! But make options for the enthusiasts! We the Petrol Heads and Racing Drivers are the ones that gave their name a reputation! & DODGE BRING BACK THE HELLCAT! 😅
From what I have been told the color difference on the exhaust tips is to key which tip contains the exhaust valve flapper. However I could have received bad info.

Toevallig vandaag het geld over gemaakt voor een Mustang GT, wel de coupe versie. Shadow Black. Kan niet wachten op de levering. Ik vraag me af waarom op deze versie geen memoryseats knoppen aanwezig zijn in de deurpaneel. Ik dacht dat de Europese versie standaard een volledig Premium met 401A pakket kreeg.
everything is good, but that interior is the only thing why im not getting that car, its to childish… mustang should not have so many screens and childish animations. but all in all it is a good looking car, interior is just a big minus.
They really neutered the performance in the European spec car. The sound is really muffled as well. The 5.0 and 10 speed combo will scream when you put the pedal down in the US models. I can get a (US)2024 rental ecoboost to do 0-60 in 4.9 sec. Doing anything over a 4sec 0-60 in a 10 speed GT indicates either crappy tire, or driver.
I did it many times, no issue at all. My Bullitt is governored at 263 km/h (163 mph). Don't compare the Mustang with independent rear suspension since 2015 to what you maybe used to with the Mustangs pre 2015.
Mustangs have evolved a lot; they are very stable, even at very high speeds. Having owned the GT 21 and now the Dark, I find them even better. Only the hood still tends to move.🤪
It's a cool car but this is not made for EU. It's simply outdated drivetrain that doesn't have the performance nor efficiency most EU drivers look for. GL insuring this car.
Unfortunately, neither is true, unless you want to describe an (naturally aspirated) ICE as outdated technology in general. Insurance is not a problem if you are able to afford a car like this, at least in Germany. There are no penalty taxes for registration here either. What of course has to be kept in mind is the fuel consumption of around 10...12 L/100 km on average, which is OK for a car like this. It's a vehicle for enthusiasts, not everyone appreciates what you can only get exclusively from Ford in this form these days.

Ford have done well with the Ford Mustang. Props to them
A good competitor to this car is the 2024 Lexus LC500 but more luxurious
Looks like a great cruizer with a 5L v8 rare these days
The ragtop covers are very cool, but made for stable weather. I may or may not use them. Probably not...
Perfect example of why mustang owners have the reputations they do.
Still hate the screens. Theyre distracting. I prefer the s550 headlights and rear end. The new designs a little to euro/jdm to me.
