The 2015 Ford Mustang has been touted as the first truly global muscle car from the Blue Oval, with plans to sell it in both right and left-hand drive versions in all the world’s major markets. This includes Europe, Australia, China, and India. Yes, India, the country of spicy curry, holy cows, and some of the coolest celebrations and festivals on the planet, including the Ratha-Yatra, or “Chariot Festival” where huge statues of Hindu deities are pulled on chariots through major cities.

What better time to launch the 2015 Ford Mustang in India than around this huge celebration of gods and wheels? Right on cue, the New Indian Express reports that an orange right-hand drive 2015 Mustang was spotted outside of the Automotive Research Association of India, or ARAI. It’s likely that the right-hand drive version of the 2015 Mustang is undergoing final crash test and safety inspections to ensure it meets with Indian standards. Pricing is expected to be set at between 6 and 6.5 million Indian rupees, which works out to between $95,000 and $102,000 for the V8 5.0-equipped GT model.

Hey, nobody ever said a global Mustang was going to be cheap, and while us Americans can sit in the driver’s seat for under $24,000, the rest of the world isn’t so lucky. Import duties, transportation costs, and prepping the Mustang for a different market and expectations all add to the cost, though this is the highest price we’ve soon so far. In Great Britain a base-model EcoBoost Mustang starts at $43,000, and in China buyers will have to shell out at least $63,000 to get started, but India takes the cake with a price that’s 50% more than the quasi-communist country. Neither the Camaro nor Challenger are for sale in India right now, despite the country’s growing middle class, though that may change with the next-gen models. For now, the Ford Mustang will be the only choice for residents of India who want a taste of American muscle.

What country will be next on the Mustang’s world domination tour?
