The Ford Mustang will officially make its debut in India in 2014 with an all-new right hand drive version for the first time in history. The new 2015 Mustang that was revealed in late 2013 is going to feature many firsts for the Mustang. For the first time, the Mustang will be available with independent rear suspension and for the first time will the Mustang be officially available in right hand drive.
The big news though is the return of the turbocharged, 4-cylinder engine to the Mustang family. Last seen in the third generation Mustang, the turbocharged 4-cylinder engine makes a return this time around with the highly acclaimed 2.0-litre Ecoboost motor capable of producing over 300PS. The base model variant of the Mustang though will be offered with a conventional V6 engine.
For the purists though, Ford will still offer the 5.0-litre V8 producing about 400PS. Although uncertain at this point, the more powerful Shelby version of the Mustang, including the legendary GT350 and GT500 and their respective variation will also make their way to India in the future. Expect the Mustang to cost as little as Rs 45 lakhs for an entry level version and upto Rs 55 lakhs for a full blooded V8 version. The Mustang will most certainly become one of the most popular sportcars in India if launched appealing to both the purists and the fans to the car in general.
The Mustang will be the forth car that Ford will launch in India this year. Ford's opening salvo will be the Figo Aspire compact sedan followed by the new Figo hatchback and the new Endeavour SUV. The Ford Mustang while a small volumes product will certainly go a long long way in establishing the Ford brand in India considering the fact that the 'Stang will be the first ever muscle car to be officially sold here.
