The Ford Mustang, an emblem of automotive freedom and exhilaration, marks its 60th anniversary this year. Known for its distinctive presence on both roads and racetracks worldwide, the Mustang has transcended geographical and cultural boundaries, becoming a global icon.
Mustang's Worldwide Presence
Today, the Mustang boasts a significant global footprint, being sold in 85 markets across six continents. Whether cruising down George Street in Sydney, navigating Madrid’s Gran Via, or taking in the views along Avenida Atlântica in Rio de Janeiro, the Mustang is as common internationally as it is in local neighborhoods. Additionally, the electric Mustang Mach-E caters to those seeking the classic Mustang thrill coupled with zero emissions.
Introducing the Seventh-Generation Mustang
2024 is notable not only for the Mustang’s 60th-anniversary celebration but also for the launch of the all-new seventh-generation model. This year is set to be a defining moment in the storied history of the Mustang, highlighting its enduring legacy and appeal.
The Ford Mustang Global Gallop
In a unique celebration named the Ford Mustang Global Gallop, Ford has enlisted 60 journalists, content creators, and Mustang ambassadors globally to take the Mustang on journeys to epic locations. The initiative underscores the Mustang’s core ethos—a vehicle designed for the open road, offering emotional, high-performance experiences for those who are curious about what lies beyond the horizon.
The Adventures Await
The scope of potential adventures is limitless. Ambassadors might find themselves exploring historic Route 66 in the U.S., ascending Pike’s Peak, or maneuvering through Romania’s challenging Transfăgărășan highway. Participants such as Andy To, Lauren Stoney, and Uma Leoni will showcase the versatility and spirit of the Mustang through these personalized journeys, with the first expeditions commencing in May.
Follow the Journey
Mustang enthusiasts and fans can track the adventures through hashtags #FordMustangGG and #Mustang60. These tags not only allow followers to keep up with the ambassadors’ journeys but also to share their own Mustang experiences. Once all 60 road trips conclude, Ford plans to encapsulate the year with a grand summary of the Global Gallop, celebrating a milestone year that elevates the Mustang’s legacy to new heights.
