Call it a legend, the quintessential muscle car, or a young, boisterous boy’s dream, but for me (and I am sure I am not alone) driving a Ford Mustang has always been on my bucket list. And, for good reason. It has never been about finesse or path-breaking technology or outstanding driving dynamics; instead the Mustang has always been about raw POWER. Power to hurl you down a straight with the rear tyres lit up, the tail wagging, and a smile plastered so wide even the Joker would be jealous.
For Ford in India though, the new Mustang, is all about giving the company’s image a boost. And hoping the Mustang’s charm and aura will rub onto its everyday, bread and butter product lineup. The new Mustang is priced at Rs 65 lakh, so it isn’t blue collared anymore, but for what it is, we wouldn’t term is pricey either.
Now this one is a Mustang GT. And as the name suggests it is more about traversing continents in rather than chasing lap times. So even though we only drove the new Mustang GT on a racetrack, we decided to indulge more in hooliganism than fast, precise driving. Good for me, because I am no good at the latter anyway.
