Retaining the essence of the legend -1965 Mustang, Ford tried to keep the 6th generation vehicle as modern and flamboyant as they could. It is unquestionably a Mustang.

In India, Ford will only offer the GT Fastback version of the Mustang along with its legendary 5.0l V8. 

Coming to its Mechanicals, for the first time, this 6th generation sports car features an independent rear suspension.

Power is handled by a dual-clutch 6-Speed automatic transmission and all the power is sent to the rear wheels! It also comes with 4 driving modes, namely, Normal, Sports+, Track and Snow/Wet. Moreover, it also comes with Electronic Line-Lock, which helps you prep your rear tyres for track by applying brakes on the front wheels. Moreover, in India, Mustang also comes with performance pack as standard.
