I honestly hope I'm surprised and proven wrong like I was with the pricing of the Mustang. I mean let's face it...we're quite used to paying "The Australia Tax" on any imported goods from software to computers to cars. We pay far more than other nations do. Couple that with our unique ADR rules which add costs to imported cars (because apparently humans driving cars here are more fragile or something than humans in other countries so we need a lot of extra safety requirements and details) and we just sigh and pay sometimes up to double for cars that happen to come from another country, even one of the minority of RHD countries where you would think they can just ship the cars straight in with no modification. Doesn't work like that sadly. Should be a ball tearer and sell well in the niche market of people who buy expensive performance cars, provided people wanting "a fast Ford" are willing to open their eyes to other possibilities besides "large four door V8 sedan" as a philosophical "This Is The Only Fast Car There Ever Can Be" outlook... |

More recently, everybody thought the S550 V8 Mustang would be 70K or more, because the SN95 available early 2000's was 85K or whatever. Once cars become a regular production model for a market, there's no way they can justify silly prices, especially if it has to slot in between other models available in the market. In this case I assume the V8 Mustang is the halo model, so the RS will slot in under it. I think that would be fantastic for the Oz consumer. |

It will make about 179kw at the wheels. AWD drivetrain losses are typically 30% on the dyno. |
