The all-new refurbished design of the Mustang looks mind-boggling. The long sculpted bonnet with a short rear deck that has been beautifully crafted in order to retain design cues from the original Mustang makes the car retain the essential character of the brand. Other key design elements includes three-dimensional tribar headlamps, a sleeker profile enabled by more steeply sloped windshield and rear glass and a revamped signature shark-bite front fascia and trapezoidal grille. As far as the interiors go, the Mustang gets a well-executed cabin suited to the needs of the driver.

This enormous power is controlled by a 6-speed Select-Shift automatic transmission setup. The car gets four different driving modes which changes the chassis and powertrain settings thus suiting a particular driving condition, these options includes Normal, Snow/Wet, Sports+ mode and Track mode which is the most integral mode as it throws all the 401 horses under the right foot of the driver to feel the legendary thump of the Mustang.
