Ford has recently unveiled the facelift version of its Grand Touring sports car, Mustang GT globally. And now, if some reports are to be believed, the American automaker is likely to bring this 2018 Mustang GT facelift in India in early next year. This is a mid-cycle update that includes a bunch of cosmetic and mechanical tweaks and will go on sale as a 2018 model year.
The exterior changes to the new Mustang include revised front and rear styling for better aerodynamic qualities of the car, Ford says. Besides three new exterior shades, the sports beast features new eyes, the all new LED headlamp cluster.
As you step inside, you will see a new digital dashboard instead of the regular round dials from the outgoing model. These same functions, however, have also been introduced earlier on the GT Supercar, with the similar kind of customization tweaks on the Mustang.
To enhance driving comfort, Ford has also retuned the shock absorbers and also added a new cross-axis joint and upgraded the stabiliser bars. All theses updates will further help in improving handling of the car.
Technology-wise 2018 Ford Mustang GT is now blessed with pre-collision systems and pedestrian sensors. The car is also smart enough to store the preferred driving settings in its computer system memory that can also save the steering and suspension tweaks.
We expect the same updates to be featured on the India-bound 2018 Ford Mustang.
Mechanically, the India-spec 2018 Ford Mustang Facelift will continue to be powered by the same 5.0-litre V8 engine from the outgoing model. Though, the transmission duties are likely to be handled by the new 10-speed automatic gearbox instead of the 6-speed from the current generation.
With this new transmission, the carmaker claims an improved shift timing and different settings for the three driving modes. The transmission can be operated with the paddle-shifters as well.
Moreover, the 5.0-litre V8 engine is expected to receive several updates for the improved perform with the higher power output.
It’s not done here! The 2018 Ford Mustang GT enables the owner to connect the car with the smartphone via a FordPass smartphone application which further allows the owner to lock, unlock, find and even start the car with just one click on the smartphone.
It’s too early to say about the complete details of the car. Although the flagship sports coupe, the Mustang GT is the much-anticipated car among the Indian buyers, we can hope for the best. The carmaker is likely to launch the 2018 model in India with all the high-end features.
