“U.S. consumers have enjoyed interesting foreign sports cars for decades, so it was time for the Americans to return the favor with the worldwide launch of the new Mustang,” says Erich Merkle, Ford sales analyst. “Global markets have responded in a huge way. Ford Mustang was the only sports coupe in the world with more than 100,000 units registered last year.”

To date, more than 16,600 customers in Europe have ordered a Ford Mustang, which went on sale there last summer. In the United Kingdom, total sales top 3,500 cars and in Germany, the Mustang was the best-selling sports coupe in March. Last month the Mustang was also the best-selling sports coupe in France and in the fourth-quarter of 2015, the Mustang was the best-selling sports coupe in China.
In its first three months on sale in Australia, Mustang ranks as the best-selling sports coupe. Demand is so strong, the pony car was initially sold out through 2017, but an additional 2,000 Mustangs are slated to ship Down Under by the end of this year.
In the U.S., sales of the Mustang have also managed to top the Chevy Camaro and Dodge Challenger. In March, Mustang sales of 12,563 cars in the United States outperformed sales of 12,248 for the new Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger combined.
