Ford Mustang Roars to Another Year of Global and U.S. Sales Dominance 

On April 17, 1964, Ford introduced the Mustang and established a legacy that’s endured for decades. And as it begins its 61st year, Mustang continues to excel on the track. The year 2025 has already seen it capture a win at the Rolex 24 at Daytona and multiple NASCAR and Australian Supercar victories. It’s winning on the sales chart, too.  

Mustang once again tops the global sports car sales charts and it continued its reign as America’s best-selling sports car, according to S&P Global Mobility. Ford has sold nearly 1 million Mustangs globally, where the sports car is available to customers in 85 markets, over the past decade. In the U.S., as America’s best-selling sports car, Mustang now represents nearly half the non-luxury sports car segment. 

The latest Mustang, the seventh generation, is expanding its reach on both the road and the track. There’s a Mustang for every Mustang fan, from the economical Mustang EcoBoost to Mustang GT and Dark Horse to 815-horsepower Mustang GTD supercar.  

Mustang’s success on the road is mirrored on the track. Beyond IMSA endurance racing, NASCAR, and Australian Supercars, Ford continues to race with Mustang in series around the world, as well as the one-make Mustang Challenge series. 

The spirit of competition has been part of Ford culture since the beginning, and it’s clear racing helps make Ford vehicles, including Mustang, better. Whether it’s through technology like the Drift Brake or Mustang GTD’s active aerodynamics and carbon-fiber construction or smaller details that improve performance, efficiency, or driver confidence, Mustang’s motorsports participation and racing-inspired engineering has been part of its character for 61 years.
