This is the sixth generation of the Mustang that was launched globally in 2014. That year also marked the 50th Anniversary of the iconic car. The current gen car is the first Mustang to be made in right hand drive. The current Mustang is lighter and stiffer than the previous gen cars. Features include HID headlamps, puddle lamps with Mustang logo projection, independent front and rear suspension, 19 inch alloy wheels, touch screen infotainment system, ambient lighting for the interior and four driving modes – Normal, Sport+, Track and Wet.
The Mustang for India will get the 5.0 litre V8 engine developing 420 bhp and 540 Nm torque. The engine is mated to a six speed automatic gearbox with paddle shifters. It will come with a limited slip differential for improved traction. A special performance pack will also be offered as standard with the car.
The Ford Mustang will be sold as a fully imported CBU. Prices should be revealed at launch.
