And other things we learned from the people behind the maddest Mustang yet.
“We’re all here tonight to witness history [the unveiling of this car]… To have a project like this be top secret for so long, to keep it under wraps in this day and age, is virtually impossible. And to do something this out of the box…it blows me away. But when you have a race driver, like our good friend Jim [Farley] here, who’s running the company, and he calls the shots, you can do crazy things like this… Targeting 800-plus horsepower, 5.
“This Mustang was just an idea about two years ago. That’s how fast we’ve gone. The Mustang GT3 was already in development. Mr. Farley said, ‘We have to do a road car version of this.’ Much like the model we used on the Ford GT: We wanted a car that dominates on the track, but you have an equally impressive road car offering. That was a very successful formula. We wanted to repeat that but do it even better.
“The project started in August 2021… Secret meetings that started at Multimatic, four hours every Monday night, away from the Ford machine. Late hours. This was peoples’ second job… We went from this being a concept to an approved program within about six months, which is lightning speed… Eventually we moved into a super-secret studio behind one of the test labs in Allen Park… We had to remain secret, externally to the media and social media and internally at Ford.
“This isn’t just another Mustang variant. There’s an amazing amount of technology that’s in this vehicle. It’s got the skin of a Mustang around it. It’s an all-new vehicle that is consistent with being a Mustang and is part of the Mustang family. But it’s something we have never done before. The vehicle needs to be unmistakably a Mustang. The Mustang is iconic. It is a huge part of the company. It is a huge part of America. This takes all that history somewhere completely new.”A.J.
