The Ford Mustang is an iconic muscle car from the American automaker that is currently being sold in various international markets including India. The Mustang was first introduced in India back in 2016 and Ford has sold a whopping 450 units ever since.
The sports car is currently not on sale in the Indian market, however, it is set to return to the country. According to Autocar India, the 2020 Mustang sold in the American market is set to make its way in the country sometime by the end of this year or early 2021.

According to the reports, Ford is expected to bring the mid-spec GT trim with a 5.0-litre V8 engine producing a maximum of 445bhp at 7000rpm and 533Nm of peak torque.
