Retro-Styled Ford Mustang GT



Old-school aesthetics, new-school performance.
It’s that time of year: The SEMA show is right around the corner. Doors to the Las Vegas Convention Center officially open on November 5. In anticipation, a stunning supercharged Ford Mustang emerges from the shadows, ready to wow show-goers with wicked styling and impressive performance.

The brainchild of NASCAR Cup Series driver Ryan Blaney and photographer Larry Chen, this one-of-a-kind Mustang wears a throwback red, black, and white livery inspired by the Ford GT40 race cars, which competed in the 1966 Daytona 24 hour race. Designed and rendered by Khyzyl Saleem, the Mustang also sports nifty 20-inch Fifteen52 Podium Super Touring wheels and ST Suspension XTA Coilovers, which give it a pretty mean stance.

But the most important stuff is underhood. The factory 5.0-liter Ford V8 gains a Roush supercharger, pushing the output to 700 horsepower (514 kilowatts) and 610 pound-feet (827 Newton-meters) of torque, up from 460 hp (343 kW) and 420 lb-ft (570 Nm) from the factory. That newfound power pairs to a MagnaFlow cat-back exhaust system and Wilwood performance brakes. Galpin Auto Sports of Los Angeles did all of the fabrication.

The interior features a more spartan design to go with the racing theme, but is still packed with awesome details. Inside you'll find NRG bucket seats, a NASCAR-style steering wheel, a six-point harness, and seat brackets, all enveloped around Ford's standard six-speed manual gearbox.
