The Mustang is one of the best-known vehicles from the blue-oval brand. In 2014, the sixth generation of the original pony-car was launched and it was the first Mustang to be sold worldwide.
The history of the Mustang goes back to '60s when John Oros, a designer who's parents emigrated from Transilvania (Romania) draw the concept and won the internal design challenge with his team. In 1964 the first final model rolled out the factory and started its life as the 1964 ½ model. The rest was history.
Mr. Oros passed away in 2012, but his design concept lived on in the 2014 model, with the retro-design look of the vehicle. The initial idea was to draw "a car that the ladies would love that the men would love just as much". The long hood, sloped cabin, and aggressive look were the strong points in the car's design.
Unlike the original Mustang, which was based on a chassis from the Ford Fairlane, 2014 had its own platform, but for the convertible, it still needed a chassis. That made the car heavier than the coupe, but somehow more appealing by its look.
The interior had the classic look with modern necessities. Due to the rear storage space needed for the canvas-top, the rear seats were moved forward and thus cutting the legroom needed for adult passengers. Ford installed all of its new features for the Mustang Convertible, including its SYNC3 infotainment system.
At the time of the launch, there were three engines available: a 2.3-liter four-pot, a 3.7-liter V6, and a 5.0-V8 engine.
