Summary

[edit]
Description

Der Ford Mustang ist ein vom amerikanischen Automobilhersteller Ford seit 1964 gebauter Sportwagen und der Ahnherr der Pony-Car-Klasse. Der Mustang löste den Thunderbird als Nummer Eins der Sportcoupés von Ford ab.

Im April 1964 präsentierte Ford den Mustang der ersten Generation auf technischer Basis des Ford Falcon als Coupé sowie als Cabriolet und schuf damit die nachmalig nach ihm benannte Klasse der Pony Cars.

Dem Mustang war vom Start weg ein großer Erfolg beschieden; bis heute hält er mit knapp 680.000 im ersten (allerdings überlangen) Modelljahr verkauften Einheiten den Rekord in den USA. Ganz offensichtlich füllte er auf dem Markt eine Lücke aus, deren Ausmaß nicht zu ahnen gewesen war. Weder der vom Konzept her ähnliche, 1960 herausgekommene Chevrolet Corvair Monza noch der kurz vor dem Mustang erschienene Plymouth Barracuda waren aus verschiedenen Gründen auch nur annähernd so erfolgreich.

The Ford Mustang is an automobile manufactured by the Ford Motor Company. It was initially based on the second generation North American Ford Falcon, a compact car. Introduced early on April 17, 1964, dubbed as a "1964½" model by Mustang fans, the 1965 Mustang was the automaker's most successful launch since the Model A. The model is Ford's third oldest nameplate in production [citation needed] and has undergone several transformations to its current fifth generation.

The Mustang created the "pony car" class of American automobiles—sports car-like coupes with long hoods and short rear decks and gave rise to competitors such as GM's Chevrolet Camaro, AMC's Javelin, and Chrysler's revamped Plymouth Barracuda. It also inspired coupés such as the Toyota Celica and Ford Capri, which were exported to the United States.
