The Ford Mustang facelift will continue to be powered by a naturally aspirated, 5.0 liter V8 engine in India but now produces more power and it gets several styling and features upgrade too.
The Ford Mustang is one of the most iconic sportscars on the road and certainly one of the most affordable options to lay your hands on a sportscar in India. The current sixth-generation iteration of this legendary pony car has been on sale in India for quite some time now. Internationally, the Mustang has been updated with a facelift for quite some time. Ford is finally going to bring the Mustang facelift to India in around April next year.
You’d be happy to know that the thumping heart of the Ford Mustang still remains a naturally aspirated, 5.0 Liter, V8 engine. While the world is obsessing electric cars, nothing quite beats the soul of a big capacity, naturally aspirated engine. You’d be even happier to know that the engine now produces more power than before – 450 bhp, up from the previous 415 bhp.
However, the bigger news is that Ford will be replacing the 6-speed torque converter gearbox in the current with a new 10-speed automatic gearbox. The old 6-speed unit was critiqued to be quite slow and was the only down side of the pony car. This new 10-speed unit has been critically acclaimed in the international markets well.
