UK-supplied, right-hand drive, S550 5-litre Mustang Fastback, supercharged by Roush and now understood to offer around 800bhp. The unveiling of the sixth generation (S550) Ford Mustang in December of 2013 caused a seismic shift in global automotive circles, as the quintessential symbol of American muscle car culture evolved once again. Boasting a trio of powertrain options, including the groundbreaking 2.3-litre EcoBoost delivering over 300bhp, a robust 3.7-litre V6 offering a similar power output at 310bhp and the legendary 5-litre V8 churning out over 430bhp, the S550 Mustang set hearts racing worldwide.
Transmission choices ranged from a 6-speed manual to a 6-speed automatic with paddle shifters, providing enthusiasts with unparalleled driving experiences. Breaking new ground, the S550 Mustang was engineered for both left and right-hand drive, heralding its entry into global markets and another milestone came in the form of independent rear suspension, transforming its handling dynamics beyond its straight-line speed prowess. The 2016 Ford Mustang 5.0 V8 GT Fastback on offer today is finished in Deep Impact Blue with the traditional white stripes and GT decals. The interior is also presented in a timeless manner with black seating and the steering wheel is finished in Alcantara.
Throughout the car there are subtle hints that this might not be your average Ford Mustang GT. Badges bearing the words 'supercharged' and 'Roush' give the game away. The car was initially supplied by Ford as a standard 5-litre V8 GT, however after a while its owner made the understandable decision that 435bhp was simply not enough. It’s generally recognised that the 5-litre ‘Coyote’ V8 engine has a remarkable ability to be tuned for a lot more power so the decision was made to commission a Roush supercharger conversion. Motorsport and Performance (MAP), based in Leeds were chosen as the experts in the field to carry out the job.
The result of the forced induction tuning using well known and trusted Roush componentry was outstanding, with 800bhp being achieved with relative ease. Infact, MAP informed us that they detuned from the top output just a small amount to keep the car manageable on the road. With modern Mustangs a common sight on UK roads these days, this smart sixth-generation example offers a perfect opportunity to acquire a modern/classic homage to the Mustang ‘Heritage’ that offers day-to-day luxury and comfort with incredible performance, a ‘Pony’ car with a substantial number of ponies.
