As per a press release, since 2015, Ford has created over 395,000 units of the car.

MSN reported that Mark Schaller, Ford Mustang’s Marketing Manager revealed, the car’s legacy continues to grow in areas never reached and the company will remain committed to making it available in newer markets. He added that drivers in these new markets continue to respond with approval.

As per the company, over the past five decades, Mustang has turned into the best-selling sports car in the United States, and currently with the momentum it is feeling globally, the vehicle now can tout a new title of being the ‘best in the world’.

A huge congratulation goes out to Ford and the Mustang itself. This classic vehicle has evolved incredibly over the years and has turned into a truly iconic car when it comes to the world of automobiles. If you haven’t owned a Mustang yourself, you probably have ridden in one, had a friend own one, or wanted one yourself. Here’s to continued success, Ford Mustang!
