High Demand for Ford Mustang V8 Hits Australian Market

Apr 18, 2016 08:00 AM EDT | Tes Christiansen

Ford Australia and Hertz have hit a huge deal over the increasing number of preorders for the Ford Mustang V8, which has become a new sensation in the land down under. The wait could be worth it, however some potential buyers would most likely wait another 1 1/2 years to actually get their hands behind the wheel on one.

A NewsAustralia report shared insight on the dealership offered by the companies, where customers are offered the option to rent the Ford Mustang V8 for $150 a day for an entire year. That gives a total of close to 55K to enjoy the latest model within that period. It would also be a huge challenge to finding copies of the brand new Mustang V8 anywhere in the capital.

Apart from the Mustang V8, other cars which were listed as part of the "Adrenaline Collection" included a Renault hatchback, a Nissan Pulsar, and a Toyota coupe. The Australian Hertz Mustang V8s to be released for rent locally would be either a yellow make with black stripes or a black one with silver stripes, instead of the Shelby Mustangs (with a black-gold combination) being sold in the U.S., according to the publication.

The 2016 Ford Mustang V8 has a wide range of available highly-advanced features, and pumps muscle up to 400 lb-ft of torque, starting at 435 hp, according to Ford. Its engine is designed to max power generation via large exhaust valves, high-flow cylinders, and intake and exhaust camshafts.

Truly worth the wait, the Mustang V8 comes also equipped with adaptive cruise control, the V8 has traffic sensors that could regulate vehicular acceleration in-out of traffic. What's more interesting is even its exhaust is capable of giving off booming acoustics, and this makes the new Mustang make any driving experience unforgettably worthwhile, according to the publication.
