If you thought it was impressive that the Ford Mustang outsold the Porsche 911 and the Audi TT in Germany last month, wait until you get a load of this latest stat.

The V8 is still proving popular, too. Commenting on the news, Ford sales analyst Erich Merkle said: “while much of the growth in Mustang demand in the United States has come from coastal markets – especially Southern California – and millennials opting for the 2.3-litre EcoBoost engine, buyers in other countries prefer the V8.”

This doesn’t come as a surprise, as in the UK thus far, the eight-banger has accounted for the most sales. “That unmistakable V8 warble is a hot commodity outside the US,” he added, while thinking “Murica!” Probably.

Probably something to do with its contrymens thoughts about the fact that “made in usa” is a reason to buy it and thar it automatically is better than whatever you compare it to.
