Rohit Shetty and his love for fast cars are known to everyone. His movies are filled with high-speed chases and action scenes involving cars. So it came as no surprise when the Golmaal movie series director announced his purchase of a Ford Mustang GT. Naturally, being Rohit Shetty, he would buy a GT- a fastback & a performance variant of the Ford Mustang. The special  shade of Hexis Matte Blue, the aftermarket Cervini bonnet and the RTR grille with integrated DRLs are custom additions from Daljit Auto Design (DAD), the Mumbai-based customizer. This one-of-a-kind Ford Mustang is in keeping with the reputation he has with cars for sure.
