Ford New Zealand is taking orders for the seventh-generation Mustang convertible, with the soft-top arriving here in time for next summer.

The Ford Mustang GT Convertible will be powered by the advanced, 5.0-litre Coyote V8 engine paired with Ford’s advanced 10-speed automatic transmission that almost instantaneously reconfigures its shift patterns to match the selected drive mode. 

The fourth-generation 5.0-litre is set to deliver the most naturally aspirated horsepower of any Mustang GT thanks to an innovative dual air intake box and dual-throttle body design, that helps minimise induction loss by enabling higher air flow rates.

It will have Ford’s advanced 10-speed automatic transmission.

It is priced from $99,990 and is set to launch in New Zealand in early 2025, just after the arrival of the GT Fastbacks and special edition Dark Horse models. 

The seventh generation Mustang is the most exhilarating and visceral yet, from its fighter jet-inspired digital cockpit to new advanced naturally aspirated engines to its edgier yet timeless exterior design.

Next week marks the 60th anniversary of the Mustang with more than nine million of the iconic US sports car have been sold since it was first launched in 1964.

It is priced from $99,990 and is set to launch in New Zealand in early 2025.
