Mustang conjures me an image of a ferocious horse. These are plentiful in America's canyons and are connected with speed and power. When the Ford design team was brainstorming names for their "muscle automobile" in the 1960s, they came up with the Mustang.
The car made its debut and immediately became a hit on the auto charts. Even though six decades have passed, the classic car is still in production and selling well around the world. The car has been released in India, and those interested in learning more or purchasing one can do so for Rs 95 lakhs on the road in Mumbai.
I bought a Mustang around three years ago and have been driving it ever since.
It's a convertible, which means the roof can be lowered for a thrilling ride. It's worth noting that anything exceeding 150 mph with the roof down can feel like adrenaline in the bloodstream. Automobile enthusiasts have dubbed the Mustang the first "Muscle Car." This is due to the massive amount of power it has beneath the hood.
It comes in two engine configurations, the V-6 and V-8, which stand for six and eight cylinders, respectively. The V-8 produces 396 horsepower and has a top speed of 200 mph. I've driven the Mustang at 180 mph, and it just flew away without making a peep.
The car is available in two versions: a convertible and a coupe, with only two doors. Because the type launched in India is a coupe, the pleasure of driving with the roof down cannot be fully appreciated.
The Mustang is a low-slung automobile that gives the impression of hugging the road once you're in the driver's seat. This is unavoidable because it's a racing car, and the designers built it to have a low drag coefficient.
The car has a six-speed automatic transmission that produces torque at 280 at 4000 RPM and has a high BHP of over 300. The automatic gearbox is required for such a vehicle so that the driver can focus on driving rather than changing gears.
- My automobile has 18-inch alloy wheels and manual air conditioning.
- The wind whistles about your ear when the hood is pulled up, so you don't need air conditioning.
- The bucket seats are quite comfy and can accommodate up to four adults.
The car has a top speed of around 100 mph, but you can't drive it that fast in India unless you're on the Pune-Panvel expressway. Perhaps the Agra-Delhi expressway as well. However, you can still cruise around the city in it because it has a powerful engine and a smooth drive that will undoubtedly turn heads, especially if you have a beautiful passenger in the front seat. Finally, the Mustang is a wonderful advertisement for the owner to hook up with a good-looking girl.
The Mustang is one of America's signature cars, demonstrating that the country's auto sector is still the greatest in the world.
