The 2018 Ford Mustang India Launch in the offing. Spied in the country prior to its debut. The new Mustang features a 10-speed transmission.
Ford is the first American automaker to introduce an American sports car in India. Ford launched the Mustang here over two years ago and the Mustang still enjoys the status of being the only muscle car available in the country. While the company’s main focus remains on its bread and butter, the Figo, Aspire and the Ecosport, premium products like the Endeavour and the Mustang do enhance the brand’s appeal. The updated 2018 Ford Mustang debuted at the Frankfurt Motor Show last year and the same has been spied in India before its formal launch.
