A great news for all power enthusiasts, who have been getting impatient from a quite long period to drive the Iconic muscle machine. The wait has come to an end as the Ford Mustang GT is all here! The American auto giant has finally launched its much-anticipated sports car, the Ford Mustang GT in the country at the price of INR 65 Lakh (Ex-Showroom Delhi).
It took more than five decades from the first generation Mustang to make its way to the country. Anyway, later but better! Finally, what we got is the top-of-the-line 5.0-litre V8 Mustang GT. Furthermore, under the moniker of sixth generation model, it is the first time when this beast is available in the RHD (Right-hand drive) facility. In India, it will be brought via CBU route.
It has captured millions of eyeballs at the earlier concluded 2016 Auto Expo for its style, design, and features. Globally, the Mustang is offered with engine options- 2.3-litre 4-cylinder EcoBoost, 3.7-litre V6 and 5.0-litre V8. And for the India-spec Mustang the only last one, the top-end is offered, the 5.0-litre Ti-VCT naturally aspirated V8 engine that churns out a massive power of 401 PS in combination with the peak torque of 515 Nm. The engine is mated to a 6-speed Getrag dual-clutch automatic transmission with paddle shifters.
It doesn't end here, the 2+2 seating arrangement Mustang launched with a number of fresh design elements and offers the luxurious comfort. Inside the cabin the Mustang gets leather seats with 6-way power, leather wrapped steering wheel, ambient lighting, MyFord 8-inch touch infotainment system, push engine start/stop button and dual purpose center console with armrest and storage box.
The exterior design features a perfect balance of the old and the new generation, as it retains some of its design elements from its previous years models such as the long bonnet, chunky rear and muscle body structure.
The new Mustang comes with technology genius features like four drive mode options (normal, sport, sport+ and snow/wet), electronic line lock, dual-zone HVAC system, adaptive cruise control, Electronic Stability Control (ESC), traction control, Blind Spot Information System (BLIS), Cross Traffic Alert, dual front airbags, rain sensing wipers and much more.
It has been decorated with signature HID headlamps, long bonnet, a large grille which also dominates a galloping horse, and daytime running lights, while the back profile houses the rear diffuser and LED tail lights.
Well, in India, there is no direct competitor to this Ford Mustang GT, as it is a fresh entry in its kind. However, the launch of Mustang may inspire the brands like Chevrolet and Dodge to bring their models Camaro and Challenger respectively in India.
