Ford Mustang to be Launched on January 28

© Provided by MotorTrend India MotorTend Image One of the most evocative and iconic cars in automotive history, the Ford Mustang, will be launched in India on the 28th of this month; at long last! Developed by the legendary Lee Iacocca, this 6th generation Mustang debuted on the 50th anniversary of the brand and it will be positioned as the halo vehicle of the Ford India fleet.

Adhering to this image, the Mustang will be most likely made available in India with a 5.0 litre V8 petrol engine that belts out 437 bhp. In other markets, the Mustang is also available with a 2.3 litre, 4 cylinder Ecoboost engine and a 3.7 litre V6. Gear shifts will probably be taken care of by a 6 speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters.

Features on this car (apart from a sonorous exhaust note that comes as standard!) include 19 inch alloy rims, high performance brakes, a rear diffuser, puddle lamps that project the Mustang logo onto the ground when the doors are opened, projector headlight clusters, ambient interior illumination and a top of the range infotainment system. The car will offer the performance-oriented Indian car buyer an alternative to the already well established selection of sports cars available in the country.
