Germany, like the United States, is one of the top automotive manufacturing centers in the world, and the vehicles produced in the Fatherland can be found in just about every corner of the world. But when it comes to American cars, Germans have been denied some of our best products, including the Ford Mustang, which only became available in Europe last year with the introduction of the sixth-generation model.

Despite being on the market for such a limited time, the sixth-generation Mustang has had no trouble attracting German fans. In fact, last month the Mustang was the best-selling sports car in the whole of Germany, and one of the only non-German cars to top the sales charts of the German Federal Motor Transit Authority.

The Federal Motor Transit Authority says that Ford sold 780 Mustangs in the German market last month, giving it a 15.5% share of the sports car market. While those numbers pale in comparison to the more than 12,000 Mustangs that Ford sold in the U.S. alone last month, it was more than enough to put the pony car on top of the slipping German sports car market (down 5.5% compared to March 2015).

“Germans have fallen in love with the Mustang. Driving a Mustang GT on the Autobahn is a one of a kind experience for people who love cars,” said Wolfgang Kopplin, managing Director Ford Germany.

The Mustang has been on a sales hot streak since the sixth-generation debuted, blowing past Camaro, which has held the top spot almost uninterrupted since 2009.
