Earlier this morning, Ford issued a press release announcing that, in its first year of global availability, the Mustang became the best-selling sports coupe in the world in 2015.
Despite limited availability in major markets like the UK and China, Ford sold around 110,000 Mustang coupes last year, more than any competitor. Additionally, the automaker delivered around 30,000 Mustang convertibles, bringing total nameplate sales to more than 141,000; making the Mustang the best-selling two-door sports car in the world by far.
“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.”
