First teaser unveiled of Ford Mustang in Supercars specs

Ford Australia has unveiled a first teaser of the new Ford Mustang in Supercars specification ahead of its 2019 debut.

“We’ve got a strong Ford and Ford Performance presence this weekend at Mount Panorama with the GT, the Mustang GT4 and the FG X Falcon heading around in the speed comparison,” said Damion Smy, Ford Australia’s Product Communications Manager, to supercars.com.

“But we also know fans are asking about the Mustang and we thought we’d given them a bit of a taste of what’s coming in 2019, as we gear up for not only Bathurst but next season as well.”

The switch from the Falcon model, that ceased production in 2016, to the Mustang for the Supercars championship was confirmed in April this year.

It has not been confirmed when the final car will be completely unveiled but it will be on the grid for the 2019 season in the hands of teams DJR Team Penske, Tickford Racing and 23Red Racing for a total of seven cars.
