Before the fifth-generation Mustang bids farewell, Ford is launching an all black limited edition model. The only catch is, it’ll be sold solely in Japan.
Its official name is a mouthful: Ford Mustang V8 GT Coupe The Black. As the name implies, you can get it any color you want as long as it’s black. The exterior is jet black. The leather interior is black. Even its unique 19-inch wheels are mostly black, with the exception of thin, polished spokes.
To ensure drivers aren’t completely ensconced in pitch darkness, it also comes with the panoramic glass roof found on Premium trim level Mustangs. For the truly vampiric, a retractable sun shield is part of the package.
The engine is the Mustang GT’s customary 5.0-liter V8 with Ford’s Ti-VCT variable valve timing system, putting out 420 hp and 390 lb-ft of torque. The only transmission offered is the 6-speed automatic.
The price rings in at ¥5,050,000 including taxes, or about $49,358 at current exchange rates. Those wanting to buy one better get in line though, as Ford will build just 40 of the The Black edition Mustangs. It’s set to go on sale on March 15.
