Ford has launched its muscle car, the Mustang, in Malaysia and prices range from RM488,888 to RM598,888 (Rs 79.04 lakh to Rs 96.83 lakh) for the 2.3L EcoBoost and 5.0L GT V8.
While the 5.0-litre V8 rakes up 416bhp at 6,500rpm, there’s 530Nm of torque to play with at 4,250rpm. On the other hand, 317bhp is made by the 2.3-litre EcoBoost motor at 5,500rpm and is supported by 432Nm of torque at 3,000rpm. Both engines make use of a six-speed SelectShift automatic gearbox with paddle shifters.
Standard on the list of equipment for both versions are DRLs with HID headlamps, a rear diffuser, dual-zone climate control, button start ignition and leather upholstery with cooled front seats. There’s also rain sensing wipers, rear-view camera, stainless steel exhausts, SYNC 2 infotainment system with an eight-inch LCD touchscreen, Bluetooth and USB connectivity.
Safety is taken care of by the Electronic Stability Control, Isofix mount points, a tyre pressure monitoring system and a host of airbags including curtain and active glovebox knee-airbag for the front passenger. Ford India is gearing up to launch this muscle car for the Indian market sometime around the festive season.
