America’s second favorite muscle car after the Camaro (in terms of 2011 sales as Chevy’s model has outsold Ford’s pony car by around 33 percent through May, according to the latest data), is being offered in Japan in a limited edition version called the “Mustang V6 Sport Appearance”.
More often than not, the words “Mustang” and “Special” usually point to a different paint job and added extras, and sure enough, that’s the case with the Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) version of Ford’s Mustang V6 Sport Appearance.
On the outside, Japanese buyers can choose between two colors, “Performance White” or the 70’s style “Grabber Blue”, both of which come with special pin stripes on the sides and the bonnet bump.
There’s also a rear boot lid spoiler and 18-inch chromed alloy wheels wrapped around chunky 235/50 R18 tires, while inside, we can see that Ford added leather seats
The package is available on both the coupe and convertible models with the 3.7-liter V6 engine, which is rated in Japan at 309-horses and 378Nm (278.8 lb-ft) of peak torque.
Production is limited to 25 pieces for each body style with prices set at a hefty 4.35 million Yen for the Coupe and 5.05 million Yen for the soft-top Convertible (equal to US$54,250 and US$63,000 respectively at the current exchange rates).

Yeah the Japanese need now a sport car. But maybe it will be better to call it "Mustang V6 Atomic" or something...
It will be a hit!
Ford should have only made the hardtop version with extra cabin filters and drop-down protective masks for those days with the Fukushima nuclear fallout is at its worst (every day).
This is so crazy it might work, I was reading this and thinking of the joint factory where the mustang and mazda 6 is made. with the mazda 6 being pulled, maybe ford should let mazda have a version of the Ford Mustang. The Mazda Palomino
it would help the mustang to outsell the carmero as well
i think its a great idea give japan the crappy american car that we dont want just like they do with us haha camaro kicks azz
Ford is never going to do well with steering wheel on the wrong side for Japanese market.
Yank Clank. Looks like a boat.
Some one should, may be, tell the Yanks that the Japanese prefer the steering wheel on the other side???
