- Steve Sutcliffe takes on the famous Transfăgărășan Highway in Romania in the Ford Mustang Fastback 5.0 V8, one of the most spectacular roads available to drive in the world. In chapter one of our Great European Driving Roads series, Steve embraces the challenge and shows that if you are a true driving enthusiast, the Transfăgărășan is genuinely a bucket list kind of place to visit.

LIVIU GEORGE BOZDOC ' this is the type of publicity that this country needs '
I have already saw this road on TopGear..and it is always an amazing road..great Ford..!!
I have driven the transfagarasan. It’s an epic road with some fantastic scenery. On the northern side with all the hairpins, one had collapsed and there was just a stop sign to warn you of the drop ahead. Quite a few place to pull over and get pictures. The car park at the top charges an extortionate amount to park and it’s cash only.
We're gonna be shooting there a lot this Summer!
Such an amazing place to be

Great video!.. I'd love to see the entire POV video of Steve driving that amazing road.
Best driving road in the world.
4 Years ago i skied down this road 😂. No joke. Several avalanches destroyed the bridges and the crash barriers. It took me 6 hours to ski down to the icefall and to climb down the mountain
Very beautiful Transfagarasan oficialy.
Brilliant video guys. More of this please Ford!
Great cars needs great roads to be driven and thanks Ford Europe for letting us know of such incredible machinery
Seems like Ford is doing Chevrolet's job as well "finding new roads" along with going further
bautiful romania

Thank you!
im fom Romania
i live in Craiova
GREAT Ride!!! Love it!!
Amazing road!!!
The Ford is awsome and the road is the best !!
I love the Mustang
Best road in the world here in Romania :)
Great video!
1 of many, we also got : Transalpina, Transrarau, Transbucegi, Cheia Brasov :O
Too bad for the experience that audio editor does not have any knowledge about cars.
Full acceleration on the entering of a hairpin and no sound on straights is just awful to watch.
i enjoyed the sound of the car
"Nicolae Ceausescu build a road that would enable his people to flee into the mountains just in case..." Who writes these idiotic descriptions? The construction was influenced by the 1968 invasion of Czechoslovakia but it was built as a military objective first, to link 2 important military bases, then tourism was supposed to flourish around it.
The description makes it sound somewhat medieval.
AND to serve as a quick way to link Bucharest with Transylvania just in case that viper to the west, Hungary , attacks us again...
What a view
I love this vidéo
A real mustang on a real road.
I love it.
Respect for ă and ș !! :)
5 years to finish the road and 40 lifes lost not 400 😑 ..
40 de victime a fost versiunea oficiala.Cei ce au lucrat la el,vorbesc de sute de morti.Nimeni nu stie numarul exact.
Dupa cum bine stim,comunistii au fost cei mai mari mincinosi.
6000 tones of dynamite.
So yeah, we've got a touge in Romania... And there were drift competitions held here. Also, Top Gear called it the best driving road or whatever.

Excellent video! Love the Mustang... anyone know the tune playing in the background?
I like the sound of the engine...
Da un like daca esti roman.
Super❤
Romania FTW - I am romanian.
You guys in the UK really do get the better looking taillights.
Christopher Leamons in all of europe*. Blame your stupid sanctions for having those horrible tail lights
Danke für soo Cooles Video, Wunderschöne Romania! ich fahre hin irgend wann bestimmt. Best Regards!
This was fantastic, but why Isn't the GT350 available in Europe?? It would make for a great Halo vehicle.
The weed is perfect in Romania
Trebuie sa vina altii sa ne faca reclama....
That's not a problem, it is even more powerful when it comes from others....
I'm from Romania!! That place it's great but the rest it's...... traffic jams in Bucharest omg.
哪有福特皮卡的视频！很喜欢！当然福特汽车🚘最棒了！
i wonder how different is this ford mustang then the USA one
I drove this in a 1.5 liter hyundai diesel. I got stuck behind a older BMW 3 series that seemed to be afraid to go over 10miles an hour... It took all that pathetic hyundai had to finally pass that guy, and then got to enjoy the road a bit... the whole time thinking, what I wouldn't give to have my paxton coyote mustang out there instead of that rental shoebox.... An amazing road indeed.
Need for Speed Transfagarasan needs to be the next title xD
Mehh... The trip is so much more enjoyable and challenging when made the other way around as these guys did it... Meaning from Sibiu to Curtea de Argeș.
Why Ford doesn’t make independent suspension Mustangs in the U.S.?
Bu Ford Amerika da Michigan da üretiliyor
Romanians, assemble!
Did the video just call Vidraru the world's largest hydroelectric power station?
Old times: a long highway in 5 years....
Now: a short highway in 2 decades
Vidraru Dam ain't even the biggest in Romania. But the world? lol
It was so he can move the troops from one side to another to defend the country, but anyway good movie
"Vidraru Dam, the world's largest hydroelectric power station"?!?! Haha
Not even in the top 10: oilprice.com/Latest-Energy-News/World-News/The-Worlds-10-Largest-Hydroelectric-Dams.html
Not even in top 60! Ironically, Vidraru power station is not even the bigest in Romania! Such misinformation in this video... Get your facts straight Ford!
Hi Narcis, Steve Sutcliffe here, so sorry - the original narration script read "one of Europe's largest hydro-electric power stations" - not the world's largest. But for some reason I got it wildly wrong when recording the eventual script. You are entirely correct, the Vidraru was the world's 9th largest when originally built but there are many others that are larger nowadays. I hope you can forgive me and enjoy the rest of the series, best regards, Steve.
Narcis, the fact Ford and Castrol included Transfagarasan in their video should make you proud of it, not sarcastic. Or you're just one of my co-nationals never ever satisfied with Romania?! Ok, Vidraru Dam is not the largest in the World, Europe or Romania, so what?!
Thanks to Ford and Castrol and people like Steve Sutcliffe or those from Fifth Gear, foreign people saw this fantastic road and wish to visit Romania.
DO not worry, Steve, Romanians are well known to be very critical, sometimes losing themselves in it.... Great video otherwise, thank you !
Câteva observații (în fugă) despre traducerea în română:
1. În '68, Cehoslovacia a fost invadată (și) de URSS, nu ”USSR”.
2. ”Highway” nu înseamnă autostradă! ”Highway” înseamnă șosea, drum principal (deși termenul nu se referă doar la transportul rutier). O arteră importantă de transport. Pe anumite poțiuni ale unui ”highway” standardul poate fi de autostradă, dar asta e deja altă poveste. În engleză, autostradă se spune îndeobște ”motorway”, cu ceva variante locale, precum ”parkway” (în America de Nord) sau ”freeway” (în Australia). Ca să închei, cum Doamne iartă-mă să fie Transfăgărășanul o autostradă? Cel care a tradus știe ce înseamnă o autostradă?
3. La 1:41 este vorba de ”Curtea” (de Argeș), nu de ”Cetatea”.
4. La 2:15 este ”Prometeu”, nu ”Prometheus”.
5. La 2:32 este ”mult mai spectaculos de condus” (”dramatic to drive”), nu ”mult mai greu de condus”.
6. La 3:25 avem ”serpentine” (”hair pins”), nu ”curbe în ac de păr”.
7. La 4:59 avem ”Köln”, nu ”Cologne”.
Da, ”USSR” este forma acronimică pentru limba engleză. Eu mă refeream la traducerea în română. În română avem ”URSS” (Uniunea Republicilor Sovietice Socialiste).
3. "Zero expense spared" = „fără a se fi ținut cont de costuri”, nu „fără alte cheltuieli suplimentare față de bugetul inițial”
eu cand activez traducerea in romana, imi traduce in poloneza... oricum, e un fel de google translate... Am impresia ca e o traducere automata, dupa sunet
One problem that EVERYBODY says that the Transfagarasan is a highway. IT IS NOT A HIGHWAY. Its a national road.
so im not that far from the highway if you search Bacau youll see
How about Stelvio Pass in Italy?
I've been driving on both roads, Stelvio Pass and Transfagarasan in a 400 PS sport car. Stelvio Pass it's an amazing road and a great view but it can't be compared with Transfagarasan. If you are a simply tourist maybe you will enjoy Stelvio Pass much more but if you are a car enthusiast, than Transfagarasan it's the best place in the world to be. It's the romanian Nürburgring....hehehe
A 420hp 5.0L of this body style? Looks like a 2015 or newer. Maybe this was during the preproduction stages. The 2014 was 420hp but 2015 or newer is 435hp.
This is also the european model (no vents on the hood) so there might be a few restraints HP wise.
Andrew Christianson Europe doesn't get as much power because of left driver side conversion
Mord Fustang in Romania...woah xD
Try Transalpina hwy in Romania. 100 times better than Transfăgărăşan.
What! 🧘♂️praying🧘♂️
american muscle
Imi place masina,e preferata mea.Drumurile strica masina :(.
nu strica masina, pt ca nu e atat de joasa incat sa o lovesti la fiecare groapa pt ca e un muscle car , dar, da trebuie avut grija mai multa cu ea. P.S. si preferata mea!
It's not a highway =)))
Ford Amerika 🇺🇲
"...Vidraru - World largest hydroelectric power station... " No. :)
:-)
420 hp
I miss the 2013 Shelby GT500s which had a 5.8L V8 supercharged with 662bhp 6 speed manual with 0 to 60 in 3.4 seconds and 202mph. The 2016 Shelby GT350R is even better the standard version of the newer mustangs.
sorry.. nice footage and all but you could make it even better... on the video it looks very normal and if you would see it in real life or in better videos you would see how crazy this road actually is.. here i dont see that
Mustang doesn't fit to this beautiful road
I am romanian and I do apreciate the promotion but Vidraru is surely not the world biggest hidro plant.its not even the biggest in Romania🤣🤣🤣
also 40 workers lost their lives not 400🧐
Hätte man dem Vorfacelift Mustang mal ein gescheites Fahrwerk und brauchbare Reifen gegeben (nicht diese Schrottigen US Pirelli P-Zero), wären solche Strassen ein Genuss!
Worst food & drink on the ranking. Romanians should fix it.
Amazing car sound. love it,.. and you know it. : )
Is this in Iraq?
But sorry mates,our (romanian) roads sucks,they really sucks.
Go to Georgia. There's better.
Georgia :)))))) with what is better?
+Komisar Victor mountains in Georgia)
Hahaha, you make me laugh...
Post some pictures or video.
400 Romainain losted their life? Haha mostly Hungarians political prisoneirs losted their lives :(
Gergely Dömötör you are ridicoulos....
The road was built mostly using Romanian army soldiers. There were no Hungarian political prisoners in Romania in that time. If there were political prisoners, there were more Romanians than any other nationality.
