Ford Mustang GT, the iconic pony car from the American
carmaker has been finally launched in India. Introduced at a starting price
of 65 Lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi), Ford has brought us the sixth generation
Mustang GT equipped with a 5.0-litre V8 under the hood. Ford India first
unveiled the Mustang GT in the country right before the 2016 Auto Expo,
promising a launch in the second half of 2016 and was Ford show-stopper at the
expo. Staying true to its word the American carmaker has finally answered the
prayers of us Indian enthusiasts who have been waiting for this iconic machine
to come to your shores. But it surely comes with a heavy price tag owing to the
fact that the car has taken the CBU route.
It has been 52 years since Ford first launched the
Mustang and it took the company that many years to finally bring it to India.
Why you ask, well for the fact that before the sixth generation Mustang, Ford
never had a right-hand-drive model. Although, over the years there have been
many Indian enthusiasts who imported the car to India, during times when the
road norms were more lenient.
The India-spec version of the car will come with only the
aforementioned range-topping 5.0-litre V8 petrol engine. The motor has been
detuned from the Indian market, which now churns out 395.5bhp, a good 40bhp
less than what the American version produces, which we drove last month. Even
the torque has been brought down by 9Nm as the engine now develops 515Nm of
peak torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels by a six-speed SelectShift
automatic gearbox with steering-mounted paddle shifters. Ford offers the new
Mustang GT with four different driving modes - Norman, Sport+, Track, and
Snow/Wet modes. Each mode delivering power output as per its requirement.
Coming to how the car looks from outside, the
new generation Ford Mustang GT retains its brawny looks along with the
All-American Muscle styling. Right from the aggressive front section to its
muscular character lines, the 2016 Mustang in no way disappoints us. The front
end of the car features sharp projector headlamps with LED daytime running
lights, while the wide trapezoidal grille and central air dam together create a
hexagonal shape. On either side of the air dam the car gets round fog lamps and
of course the symbol of the galloping horse at the centre of the grille. The
car even comes with 'Pony' projection puddle lamps on the ORVMs. The sleeker
profile of the car is further accentuated by the more steeply sloped windshield
and rear glass
