</p><p>The Iconic legend <u><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://carhunt.in/Ford/Mustang">Mustang</a></u> has finally being launched, its launch speculation has been going around since Jan 2016. The muscle car, first of its kind on Indian roads, comes with a sticker of Rs 65 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi) thanks to heavy import duty via CBU-route. In the UK, the 5.0L V8 is priced at around £33K, which roughly comes to Rs 3.3 million. In the first stage its booking is accepted only in Delhi and Mumbai dealerships and later it will expand. This 6th generation Mustang is first ever right hand drive ever to be made and few tune ups has been done to suit harsh Indian roads.</p><p>Globally, the Mustang is offered with other engine options also over 5.0L V8 like 2.3L EcoBoost and the 3.7L V6, both of which produces power over 300HP. Coming to India, the arrival of Mustang, over half a century after its first step, is a landmark moment for both company and enthusiasts. This move shows positive Indian market and how important is Indian market for Ford.</p><p>This being the first right-hand drive (RHD) versions of the Mustang GT needed few changes in engine department too like RHD Mustangs have their steering assembly on the right side of the engine, forcing a design of new exhaust manifold which produces less power than global LHD versions for same engine. Indian trim produces 395BHP of power against 435 globally and 512Nm of torque, running of 91 octane fuel.</p><p>While the Mustang is available with a 6-speed manual shifter internationally, in India due to its price tag we get a 6 speed 'Select Shift' dual-clutch automatic gearbox only. Enthusiasts would have argued of having manual option too. But for now one has to do with the paddle-shifters that come with the automatic variant. The Ford Mustang will be offered in six colour options – Absolute Black, Ingot Silver, Oxford White, Triple Yellow Tricoat, Magnetic, and the signature Race Red. It gets 19-inch alloys, automatic bi-xenon projector headlamps, and LED three-dimensional tail lamps with sequential side indicators.</p><p><u><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://carhunt.in/Brand/Ford">Ford’s</a></u> engineers have found a good blend by retaining its identity with long hood and rear end and muscularity all around, while updating its gene with modern technology to offer improved controlling and handling and features like four selectable drive modes (normal, sport, sport+ and snow/wet), electronic line-lock (to do clean burnout without glitches), electronic stability control (ESC) and traction control, Ford MyKey, keyless entry and a push-button start/stop system, a 8" touch-screen infotainment system, 9 speakers and comes enabled with SYNC 2 voice command. Adding to the list, the six-way power adjustable seats with heating/cooling feature, dual-zone climate control and 6 airbags to safe guard all 4 occupants. </p><p>The Mustang doesn’t have any direct competitors in India being first one to arrive like the Chevrolet Camaro or Dodge Challenger. But this move by Ford might motivates Chevy to bring the Camaro here! With its price tag, it will lock its horns with the <u><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://carhunt.in/BMW/Z4">BMW Z4</a></u>, <u><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://carhunt.in/Audi/TT_Coupe">Audi TT</a></u> and <u><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://carhunt.in/Mercedes-Benz/SLK">Mercedes-Benz SLK</a></u>.</p><p></p>
