DEARBORN, Mich., Oct. 29, 2018 – World
champion drifter Vaughn Gittin Jr. and his RTR Vehicles team are working
with Ford Performance to provide a definitive collaboration of style,
performance and fun with the new Series 1 Mustang RTR Powered by Ford
Performance – the latest addition to the Mustang family.
“Our goal was to take the driving and owner experience of the iconic Ford
Mustang to the next level,” said Gittin, President and Chief Fun-Haver of
RTR Vehicles. “This collaboration has created a Mustang that offers
smile-inducing street driving, diverse capability on the track and a very
distinctive owner experience for those looking to stand out from the
crowd.”
The Series 1 Mustang RTR Powered by Ford Performance features RTR’s
signature modern and aggressive styling. The Ford Performance suspension
has adjustable sway bars that can change the chassis balance for either
passive or MagneRide™ suspensions to suit twisty backroad driving, laying
down lap times, drifting or blasting down a drag strip.
“Ford is bringing more Mustang magic to more customers than ever,” said
Eric Cin, director, Vehicle Personalization and Accessories. “Vaughn is a
great partner, bringing a new flare for Mustang to younger audiences
through drifting and other exciting performance fueled fun – we can’t wait
to see what he’ll do with this car.”
The Series 1 package, which will arrive in select Ford dealerships in
early 2019, is designed to be installed at the dealer on any Mustang
EcoBoost Performance Package 1 or Mustang GT Performance Package 1 model.
It will come with a Ford factory limited warranty and Ford Credit
financing for those who qualify.
