    What's the story

    The Ford Mustang 6th generation is all set to make its India debut today.

    Coming to India via the CBU (Completely Built Unit), the Ford Mustang will come with only one engine option i.e. "the 5.0-litre V8 that develops 435bhp along 524Nm of maximum torque."

    It will come complemented with a 6-speed SelectShift automatic gearbox and will be priced between Rs.50-60 lakhs.

    1964

    The 1964½ Mustang is born

    The Ford Mustang is an American car built by Ford.

    The first Mustang was launched in 1964 and hence dubbed as "1964½" by Mustang fans.

    The first Mustang was a T-5 prototype with "a two-seat, mid-mounted engine roadster."

    This vehicle used the German Ford Taunus V4 engine which was in rage at that time and was being greatly anticipated by the automobile industry.

    Success

    The Mustang fever catches on

    From its very onset, Mustang became a favourite, its "interior, chassis, suspension, and drivetrain components" derived from those of Ford's Falcon and Fairlane.

    Ford had expected a sale of 100,000 units in the 1st year, a mark surpassed in 3 months from its rollout.

    A record-breaking 318,000 Mustangs were sold in the first year and a million more built within next 18 months.

    Personal

    5 generations of Mustang

    There have been second generation (1974–1978), third generation (1979–1993), fourth generation (1994–2004) and fifth generation (2005–2014) Mustang models. Though every model came with better designs, with every model the car "grew larger and heavier".
