New Ford Mustang customers are being cheated – at least in Europe. Stricter emission requirements mean that Ford has had to throttle down the model.
Specifically, the large, five-liter V8 engine lacks 40 horsepower compared to the GT model's muscles in other markets, such as North America.
But it is not the only salt that the stricter EU rules rub in the wound. The Mustang GT models coming to Europe will also lack 28 newton meters.
And it gets even worse. The provisional top model, the Mustang Dark Horse, lacks as much as 52 horsepower and 28 newton meters compared to the model in the USA.
