Video: How do you get a sports car to the top of the world's tallest building? Forty-nine years ago, to celebrate the launch of the 1965 Mustang, Ford's marketing boffins came up with a clever stunt. They decided put a car on the observation deck of the world's tallest building, the Empire State Building. Now, with the car's 50th anniversary on the horizon, Ford has decided to not only repeat the stunt, but to surpass it, but placing the latest Mustang at the top of the current tallest building on the planet, the 830-metre Burj Khalifa in Dubai. A team of six engineers travelled with the special Mustang from Ford's global headquarters in Dearborn, Michigan, to Dubai aboard an Emirates Airlines flight. Once the car arrived in Dubai, it was transported to the base of Burj Khalifa and carefully separated into six sections that could be transported to the 112th level via the building's elevators. The team reassembled the vehicle over approximately 12 hours, at the end of which Bill Ford, the great-grandson of Henry Ford, added the final piece of the jigsaw: the car's iconic pony badge. "We've taken the new Mustang to new heights of technology and refinement, so taking it literally to new heights atop the Burj Khalifa is an amazing achievement for our team," said Jim Benintende, president, Ford Middle East and Africa. There are no cranes that would reach that high, and helicopter delivery is out of the question. Making this happen is truly an example of Ford engineering expertise at work.
