Known for his prowess in drifting and off-road racing, Vaughn Gittin Jr. is pumped for the upcoming reveal of the Mustang RTR. Standing for “Ready to Rock” not much is know about the factory-tuned pony, although there’s been plenty of speculation. What we do know is Gittin says what’s happening is a dream of his, so he’s on cloud nine.
New rule changes are coming to Formula One.
In a video about the RTR, Gittin says it’s the product of “15 years of dreaming.” The man reflects on how RTR is only the second company to collaborate with the Blue Oval “at this level” in 60 years. That is pretty amazing when you think about it.
Another detail Gittin reveals in the video is the fact the wrap used on the Mustang RTR preview car is a one-of-one thing. Apparently, a lot of fans have been asking where they can buy it, but there are zero plans to put it into production.
With modern technology, someone might crack the code and offer it eventually, but it won’t be coming from Ford or RTR.
There are still a lot of questions about the Ford Mustang RTR, which has been developed in extreme secrecy. If you’re expecting Gittin to spill the beans in his video, he doesn’t. What we do know is it borrows some performance parts from the Mustang Dark Horse, although what specifically isn’t clear.
We also know the RTR is based on the EcoBoost, so fans of burly V8s won’t be impressed. In the preview, despite the camo we could see the car has a pedestal spoiler as well as Hyper Lime Brembo brake calipers. An electronic drift brake will likely be included, something RTR developed that’s offered in S650 Mustang Performance Packages.
Unlike other tuner Mustangs developed by other companies, the Mustang RTR will be assembled at Flat Rock and roll off the line alongside other production models.
