The latest generation of the Mustang bears the fastback of the 1970’s but incorporates the latest technological advancements, and this feature makes the brand immensely popular.
The Indian version will have to undergo certain typical modifications like changing it into right-hand drive due to the traffic keep lest rule in India. It will have all the external features like the shark nose, long hood, shortened rear deck, tastefully designed headlamp, rear diffusers, and Aluminum wheels. In other words, it will have all the perfect design details that represent the exemplary Ford Mustang.
