    Buyers have plenty of options to choose from, but when it comes to sport coupes, the Ford Mustang is king. In a Wednesday release, Ford said the Mustang claimed the crown for best-selling sport coupe globally once again. It's the fourth year running the Ford Mustang has earned the title. It likely has something to do with its global availability in markets where key rivals aren't sold or sell in very low numbers. The current-generation Mustang was also engineered for right-hand-drive markets; the Chevrolet Camaro, for example, was not. The Mustang remains a top seller in the United States...

While that's not a final horsepower rating, it's specifically, although not numerically, "more than enough." The latest Mustang to beat the Shelby name will be fast. Really fast. Ford...
