India has its own version of muscle car and sadly it died out before it was realised.
Presenting, the Contessa Classic from Hindustan Motors.
Muscle cars in India are mostly bought by enthusiasts because they are powerful, loud, and stand out on the road. Cars like the Ford Mustang are among the most popular muscle-style cars Indians recognize. Dodge Challenger and Chevrolet Camaro are also famous globally, but importing them into India becomes expensive because of taxes and import duties. Many buyers purchase imported muscle cars through luxury car dealers or import specialists in cities like Mumbai and Delhi. Honestly, maintaining muscle cars in India can also be expensive because of fuel costs, spare parts, and road conditions. Most people buy them more for passion than practicality.
