The Ford Mustang and performance go hand in hand! In this edition of The Reed Factor, World Champion drifter Vaughn Gittin Jr. and his RTR Vehicles team are making a headline with Ford Performance as they provide a definitive collaboration of style, performance and even some fun with the latest addition to the family – the Series 1 Mustang RTR Powered by Ford Performance.
The Mustang Mission
“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 Ride
The new Series 1 Mustang RTR Powered by Ford Performance is to feature RTR’s signature styling. The Ford Performance suspension has adjustable sway bars that have the ability to change the chassis balance for either passive or MagneRide™ suspensions. That allows drivers to create suspension to suit twisty backroad driving, laying down lap times, or drifting.
