Το πιο ποθητό κλασσικό αυτοκίνητο για τους Ευρωπαίους είναι το Ford Mustang. Αυτό έδειξε μια μελέτη που έκανε το AutoScout24, το οποίο κατάταξε το αμερικάνικο muschlecar ως το πιο περιζήτητο κλασικό αυτοκίνητο της Γηραιάς Ηπείρου.
Το Mustang ποτέ δεν έχει εισαχθεί επίσημα στην Ευρώπη, αφού για πρώτη φορά η Ford θα φέρει το Mustang στην Ευρώπη από την επόμενη γενιά του. Ίσως γι’αυτό, το 37% των 75.000 ανθρώπων που συμμετείχαν στην έρευνα, επέλεξαν το αμερικάνικο αυτοκίνητο ως το κλασικό αυτοκίνητο που θα ήθελαν να έχουν στη κατοχή τους. Στη δεύτερη θέση βρέθηκε η BMW M1 με 20% και στη τρίτη το Volkswagen Beetle με 11%.

COLOGNE, Germany, Sept. 20, 2013 – The Ford Mustang is Europe’s most desirable classic car, according to a survey of more than 75,000 users of online car portal AutoScout24.
A total of 37 per cent of Europeans – from Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Holland, Italy and Spain – named the Ford Mustang as the classic car they would most like to own. Confirmed as coming to Europe soon for the first time, the Mustang was the clear winner, ahead of the BMW M1 (20 per cent) and the Volkswagen Beetle (11 per cent).
“Ford Mustang is more than a car, it’s the freedom of the open road and the spirit of performance driving,” said Roelant de Waard, vice president, Marketing, Sales and Service, Ford of Europe. “Mustang has been a fundamental part of global automotive culture for almost half a century and is one of the world’s most recognisable vehicles.”
Ford also said the Mustang Customizer – a downloadable and online app – has already attracted more than 500,000 visits from Europe. Since its launch last year, more than 4.5 million people from 49 countries have visited the Mustang Customizer – Germany was the second largest source of visits worldwide.
Available for iOS and Android phones and tablets, the app enables Mustang fans to build dream cars and pit them against other fans; earn points and badges for each car they build; save pictures for use as desktop wallpaper; and compete in a drift challenge.
Mustang celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2014 and Ford has launched a new “Mustang Countdown” series of videos to throw the spotlight on the iconic sports car and its fans from across the globe.
The first video – Where It All Started: The Mustang 1 Concept – turns the clock back to the concept car’s 1962 debut. Further videos will lift the lid on Ford’s exhaustive Mustang archives, the Ford Mustang club scene and fans such as Ralf Wurm, Germany’s Mustang Man, with rare footage, exclusive new interviews and expert insight. A collection of Mustang news, information and archive materials also can be found at Ford of Europe’s dedicated Mustang web portal.
Launched in 1964, Mustang became an instant sensation and inspired millions of people with a lifestyle they could aspire to. With nearly 3,000 movie and TV appearances around the world, countless song references, parade appearances, toys and more, a passion for Mustang is common to car fans around the world.
