Ringbrothers proudly present 1969 Mustang UNCL! Check it out!

2019 Ringbrothers Ford Mustang UNCL The famous custom car manufacturer and high-quality billet parts builder Ringbrothers unveiled its latest and advanced 1969 Mustang, known as “UNKL” at the 2019 SEMA Show. UNKL will leave the Spring Green, Wisconsin shop with numerous upgrades and changes, including widened body and exclusive race-inspired theme. Let’s check out more!

UNKL is powered by a 520-cubic-inch Jon Kaase Boss engine that produces a total of 700hp. This power unit is mated to a six-speed Tremec gearbox and a QA1 carbon-fiber driveshaft that transfers the power to the rear wheels. Additionally, the menacing growl originates from a custom stainless-steel Flowmaster exhaust. At the same time, the Prestone coolant keeps the engine at even operating temperature and the Motul engine oil and gear oil keeps components run smoothly. Also, the custom BASF paint, named Big Boss Blue has laid over a smooth body, which was shaped with 3M products.

In terms of styling and shape, Ringbrothers have extended the Mach 1’s body by an inch on each side, which gives the vehicle a more muscular and aggressive stance. The body incorporates a blend of carbon-fiber and steel panels, exclusively reshaped by Ringbrothers. Additional custom details include billet taillights, reshaped bumpers and trim and engine-bay accessories that were custom machined at the Ringbrothers facility.

Furthermore, UNKL uses Detroit Speed Engineering’s Aluma-Frame front suspension system with a cast aluminum cradle, custom-tuned steering rack, tubular suspension arms, and custom adjustable RideTech coilovers. At the rear the vehicle is equipped with Detroit Speed’s QUADRALink suspension system and RideTech shocks. The front and rear sway bars are also from Detroit Speed, while the stopping power is ensured by Baer with huge 6S Extreme calipers. And all this is topped off with an exclusive set of forged HRE Wheels wrapped by Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires sized 295/35R-19 in the front and 345/30R-20 in the rear.

In terms of interior, the UNKL features race-inspired ambiance with Recaro seats, Ringbrothers billet components and Ididit steering column and Vintage Air Gen IV Magnum Evap kit. Neat!

Ford Performance reveals limited run of new Mustang machines

2018 Ford Mustang Cobra Jet Ford Performance reveals details about one of the fastest drag vehicles that the brand has ever produced – a menacing Mustang that is capable of covering quarter of a mile in mere mid-eight-second range. This Mustang Cobra Jet is also a limited-edition vehicle that honors the 50^th anniversary of the original drab beast, revealed in 1968.

Making its debut this weekend at the 2018 Woodward Dream Cruise, the Cobra Jet would try to become the most powerful and quickest Mustang Cobra Jet ever created – and we tend to believe such words. After all, stock rates are pretty impressive – the vehicle can reach 150mph incredibly fast and at the same time the eight-second quarter mile run is pretty menacing achievement.

2018 Ford Mustang Cobra Jet

In terms of drivetrain system, the vehicle is geared with an exclusive 5.2-liter engine that appears to be a revised version of Ford’s popular and successful 5.0-liter V8 that is strengthened and enhanced with a 3.0-liter Whipple supercharger. The power is distributed to the wheels through a 9-inch solid rear axle, two-way coil-over stocks with adjustable ride height and low-drag disc brake system from Strange Engineering. There’s also an exclusive four-link rear suspension with antiroll and panhard bars. Neat!

Furthermore, there are additional factory-provided racing performance upgrades such as NHRA-certified safety roll cage, FIA-certified seats and anniversary-badged racing wheels. Available in Race Red and Oxford White, the vehicle also features neat 50^th Anniversary graphics and badging. And if you are interested in buying one, you’d better hurry up – the production is limited to 68 vehicles! Enjoy!

From Hot Rods to Blown S197s, Justin Dugan Is AmericanMuscle’s Resident Gearhead [w/VIDEO]

Off The Heels Of Completing His 2014 Mustang Build, Justin Dugan Opens Up About His Passion For Cars

MALVERN, Pa. (June 30, 2017) – AmericanMuscle video host Justin Dugan recently completed his build on his 2014 Mustang GT with a 4^th stage of mods. Adding a Roush TVS 2300 Blower, long tube headers, a Forgestar drag wheel setup, a mix of suspension and brake goodies, Justin’s 2014 GT is putting down 643 RWHP and 564 RWTQ, making it a lean, mean tire-shredding machine. But there is much more to Justin than his famous Mustang build; many people don’t know how big of a car enthusiast Justin is.

Justin grew up a gearhead, fawning over everything ‘60s and ‘70s muscle cars to air-cooled VWs and the iconic Lamborghini Countach. When it came time to get his license, Justin had his eyes on a 4-eyed Foxbody a neighbor was selling, but some parental intervention persuaded him to go with a 1970’s air-cooled VW Bus instead of a worked 308 Fox on drag wheels—probably a wise decision for a 16-year-old.

Justiin Dugan Ford Mustang

In between owning the Bus and a few other old school cruisers, Justin eventually found himself with a 1927 all ‘Henry Ford’ steel roadster body on Model A rails. Justin spoke of the powerplant saying, “It’s powered by a 292 Y-block which is an often time forgotten about engine but it really is an important powerplant in the Ford lineage- it essentially bridged the gap between the flathead and the Windsor engines. The Y-block doesn’t make a ton of power but it has an awesome sound to it, especially with the open headers I had on the car at the time.”

However, Justin’s ’27 hot rod is just one of his three current rides, and albeit for better or for worse, has taken a backseat to his other projects. After dialing things up to the max with his 2014 GT (Justin’s favorite car he’s owned to date), his focus is now set on his 2017 Raptor. Justin is still enjoying the Raptor in stock form saying, “It’s honestly more truck than most people need, including myself- but that doesn’t mean I’m not going to enjoy it. In fact, we have some big plans for the truck, so be sure to keep an eye out for that. It’s hard to improve something that is already badass but we have a few things in mind.”

Justiin Dugan Ford Mustang

From hot rods to cruisers, Justin will drive just about anything with some character or some get-up-and-go, an essential trait for any bonafide gearhead. We love how Justin has modified his 2014 GT and look forward to seeing what he does with his 2017 Raptor.

Hennessey Performance Strikes Again. This Time the Lucky Vehicle is Ford Mustang! [VIDEO]

2016 Hennessey Performance Ford Mustang GT350 Mustang has finally revealed some information about the performance rates of the 2016 Ford Mustang Shelb GT350 and GT350R. As you might know, both vehicles are limited to only 50 units and both of them showcase some incredible performance stats.

However, many people were still not satisfied about what is written on piece of paper and they did want real performance show. And they got one. A pretty tough one. And luckily, there is a sweet video that reveals more about vehicles’ nature and improvements. However, let’s check out why these two bad boys are so popular, shall we?

2016 Hennessey Performance Ford Mustang GT350

Honestly, there are not any significant exterior changes and tweaks that require special attention, nor there are any in the cabin, so we directly step into the most interesting part: the drivetrain system. Generally, there are a total 808hp (602kW) at 7,800rpm and 657lb-ft of torque at 4,600rpm of power output. Massive, isn’t it? I am pretty sure that you do want to know the final results of the tests. Here they are: the vehicles accelerate from 0 to 100km/h (62mph) in mere 3.3 seconds and cover the distance of ¼ mile in mere 10.8 seconds.

But let’s talk more in details. Both vehicles share the same HPE800 Supercharged 5.2-liter V8 Voodoo engine system with numerous upgrades and changes. These include 2.9-liter supercharged system, 11.0:1 compression forged aluminum pistons, forged steel connecting rods and of course, numerous carbon fiber components.

2016 Hennessey Performance Ford Mustang GT350

I told you that there aren’t any notable visual additions. However, we should mention the Supercarged Exterior badging, Hennessey Exterior Badging, HPE800 Exterior badging, unique serial number dash and engine plaques and this well-known blue exterior finish.

I also mentioned a special video. Here it is. Enjoy!

Carlex Design interprets the fascinating 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback

The iconic muscle car gets unparalleled interior design

Among the best interior tuning designers out there is undoubtedly Carlex Design. And by tuning the cabin of this 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback they have done literally the unimaginable: the experts have created a space that looks like a fine art. It is a stunning mixture of the old and new, which highlights the intense character of the most iconic of all Mustangs.

On the outside, the classic car looks like it has just gotten out of the production line. Well, there is a single change though: the slight modification of the suspension for a more modern one and suitable for European roads.

With the aim to retain the original character of the vehicle and to do something more special to the exterior, the interior designers decided to do something more than exceptional. To contrast the bright blue exterior, Carlex Design left the interior in dark colors.

1967 Ford Mustang Fastback by Carlex Design interior side view

In terms of materials, the upholstery is a combination of black nubuck and leather, while carbon fiber has been extensively to add sportier looks. Intriguingly emossed cut pattern and additional thick thread stitching on the seats of the original Mustang look like the link between the modern and the original designs of the car. Handmade silver screw caps, merit of Carlex Design Jeweller’s Atelier, and the chrome elements of the clock and speedometer bezels perfectly break the dark theme of the cabin.

Below the waistline, we see that the entire floor was lined with smooth black leather and then fitted with custom made mats. An interesting design decision is to add carbon fiber on the entire hub of the three-spoke steering wheel of the Mustang. In combination with the silver looks it stands out really posh. The lightweight material can also be seen on the central console, door boards and the dashboard.

This interpretation of 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback is an example how a design that isn’t flashy or overdone could still be innovative.

Which are top 6 of Europe’s greatest driving roads? Ford answers in exclusive video series [part two]

Europe's Greatest Driving Roads by ford Ford and BP/Castrol have answered which are top 6 of Europe’s greatest driving roads via special video series. We have followed them until number 4 (check out in the link below), and now it is time to reveal the last two tracks that the car journalist Steve Sutcliffe has picked for you. Traveling across Europe can be very exciting, especially when you are on four wheels and well prepared. Since the summer has already started, this is one good way to spend it traveling around Europe, and we promise that it not only would be worth it, but it will leave you with unforgettable memories.

“Europe’s Greatest Driving Roads”, is a video project, which explores six of the most exclusive pathways that could be found on the Old Continent. If you wonder how the routes were chosen, the answer is – with a ranking by the thrill factor they offer, the road surface, the accessibility and hospitality, the scenery as well as the food and drink after the drive. The lucky one to pick up those six tracks is the well-known car journalist Steve Sutcliffe, who has actually covered nearly 10,000 miles in 12 months to identify the most breath-taking drives! A dream job, isn’t it?

In short, the list features five countries: Romania, France, Germany, Spain (with two routes) and the United Kingdom. And the performance cars included in the videos are delivered by Ford, including the Mustang GT, Focus RS and Fiesta ST. What we have seen so far are the first route in Spain, the one in Romania as well as those in the UK and France. Here are the last two you need to know about.

GERMANY, B500, Black Forest Highway

httpv://youtu.be/BFDiQJ0Bmts

The B500 is 40 km long and it is positioned in the middle of the enchanting Black Forest. Sutcliffe says that these are some of the most challenging kilometers he has ever driven. However, he also proudly confirms that they are worth the effort. In this video, he drives the Ford Focus ST TDCI Estate. You will fall in love with every corner of this great driving road!

MALLORCA, MA10, Mountain Road

httpv://youtu.be/0P2k9lRsWOw

Here, Steve says that it’s not just the road but the history, which makes Mallorca’s MA10 extremely intriguing. The road is fun to ride on, especially if you are in Focus ST like Sutcliffe. It features tunnels, passes across lakes and over rocky bridges. But in the middle of the MA10 sits a 13^th century Sanctuary de Lluc monastery, which defines this amazing piece of road.

These roads are for people who love cars and love driving, but also want to make an amazing road trip. So, what are you waiting for?

Silver King Edition Ford Mustang commemorates 80th Anniversary of Richard Petty

King Edition Ford Mustang by Petty's Garage first sketch The King Edition Mustang is here and it looks hot as hell! Actually we have received the first sketch of an upcoming version of the famous pony car, which is going to be created by Petty’s Garage in a very limited run. The vehicle appears after a continued partnership with Ford Motor Company for an exclusively 500 “King Edition” Ford Mustang GT model. This makes the third year in a row, that both companies join forces to build these cool Mustang King Editions.

However, there is something very special about the 2017 model year lineup: it is going to have a limited run of 43 examples, all celebrating the 80th birthday of “The King” Richard Petty. Respect for so much years of hard and successful work!

The silver design that we see on the sketch mimics the livery of the famous No.43 raced in 1996. In addition, the unique muscle car will be powered by the 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine, which Petty says that will be the most radical EcoBoost to be ever offered on the market. Unmatched in speed and performance, this is what we are promised, precisely – up to 825 horsepower.

What is more, this Mustang will also get some extra support for its on-road representation, namely: race spoiler and signature center exhaust system. For the appearance of the car, Petty’s Garage have prepared custom paint and vinyl strip packages as well as full-line of suspension components, brakes, wheels and tires.

2017 King Edition Ford Mustang by Petty’s Garage has a starting price of $35,000 USD.

Hennessey Ford Mustang HPE800 is the hardest and most potent pony car so far

Hennessey Performance is celebrating its 25th anniversary with the limited edition model

It is all about horsepower when it comes to Hennessey Performance. These guys do not need any introduction or whatsoever. They are actually making 25 years of thriving and success (Viper is jealous now) and to commemorate this, they have created a really special Mustang series. Let’s not exaggerate things and say that this is only a visual update to what they have achieved so far with their latest Mustang HPE800.

What do we have underneath the hood of the ‘Stang? A supercharged unit of the powerful 5.0L V8 engine. How much power does it deliver? It is now capable of way more horses than the stock ones, precisely: 804 bhp (591 kW) at 7,000 rpm and 878 Nm (648 lb-ft) of torque at 4,400 rpm.

Performance-wise, the acceleration time to 60 mph from standstill happens within an instant. Well, a little bit more – just in 3.1 seconds, while the quarter mile is reached in 10.7 seconds. The top speed now goes beyond 207.9 mph.

Hennessey Ford Mustang HPE800 rear view

There are also some significant updates that help the car extract as much power as possible and they are made to the fuel and intake system. The fuel pump as well as the injectors, the custom intake ducts have all been subjected to an upgrade.

Visual updates are probably the most exclusive part of this project, since they make it stand out and also show that it is an anniversary edition. A lot of carbon fiber has been involved here – the precious material has been used for the covers, front splitter, side sills and rear lip spoiler. Riding on beautiful 20-inch H10 alloys mated with Michelins, this Mustang is ready to conquer mountains and any tough road in general. A lot of badging is showing the significance of the here presented anniversary muscle car.

Hennessey Ford Mustang HPE800 25th Anniversary Edition will be produced in only 25 examples. So if you want one, you’d better hurry. I’m definitely counting my money.

Which are top 6 of Europe’s greatest driving roads? Ford answers in exclusive video series [part one]

Traveling across Europe with a car can be very exciting and a proof for that is the special video series recently released by Ford and BP/Castrol. Dubbed under the name “Europe’s Greatest Driving Roads”, the footages explore six of the most exclusive pathways that could be found on the Old Continent.

How were the routes chosen? With a ranking by the thrill factor they offer, the road surface, the accessibility and hospitality, of course – the scenery, and not forgetting the food and drink after the drive. Those who were lucky to take this task have actually covered nearly 10,000 miles in 12 months to identify the most breath-taking drives! A dream job, isn’t it?

There are five countries featured in the series, namely: Romania, France, Germany, Spain (with two routes) and the United Kingdom. And the performance cars included in the videos are delivered by Ford, including the Mustang GT, Focus RS and Fiesta ST. Behind the wheel is the renowned car journalist Steve Sutcliffe.

Since there are only four videos of the series released so far, we are going to feature the other two in additional articles. Here are the first four featured.

North Yorkshire, Blakey Ridge

httpv://youtu.be/uPIXRv0pgi0

Driving a Ford Focus RS, Sutcliffe follows the route of an old railway line to the now quiet iron ore mines of the moors. The challenging Blakey Ridge is only 15 miles long and it’s not the longest road in the series, but the way “it winds itself across the moors, throwing blind crests and fast but ever tightening corners is completely fascinating”.

ROMANIA, Transfăgărășan Highway

httpv://youtu.be/5mIqlB3QOSk

This one is built by former Romanian dictator and it is actually one of the most famous routs in Europe. It even passes the castle of Dracula, Vlad the Impaler. Here the chosen car is Ford Mustang Fastback 5.0 V8. In it Steve shows that if one is a true driving enthusiast, the Transfăgărășan is genuinely a “bucket list kind of place to visit”.

SPAIN, Catolonia, C462

httpv://youtu.be/stxoXE0-4zQ

Behind the wheel of a Ford Fiesta ST, Sutcliffe drove just over 100 km. The road winds its way north through Catalonia and ending over 100km later at La Seu D’Urgell, just south of Andorra. The very top of the C462 finds itself over 2000m and it is that point where you can stare over some of the most amazing view of the Pyrenees, visible in their entirety.

FRANCE, the Alps, D526 & D926

httpv://youtu.be/_YjIeyK_bSw

This is one of the hardest stages of the Tour de France, and equally challenging in a car, says Sutcliffe who drives the Ford Mustang Convertible 2.3. Although it is one of the most grueling places, the route is also one of the most picturesque ones.

So, if you are going to travel across Europe, then you should also know the best road opportunities that some countries can offers. These roads are for people who love cars and love driving, but also want to make an amazing road trip. The next two videos will include routes in Germany and Mallorca. Stay tuned!
