  • Sutton’s Ford Mustang CS700 improved to deliver the perfect ride and up to 700hp

    Clive Sutton Ford Mustang CS700 front viewClive Sutton, the famous dealer, has just unveiled Sutton Bespoke tuning packages for the right-hand drive Ford Mustang. They transform the muscle icon thoroughly and give it power of up to 700 hp. The unique individual program comprises from a wide range of equipment, which enhances car’s performance, handling and styling.

    The tuner has made an emphasis over the upgraded suspension, because it delivers sharper on-the-limit handling, but it does not sacrifice the comfort over the broken road surfaces. Called Sutton Bespoke Power Packages, they offer three specifications CS350, CS500 and the supercharged CS700.

    While the first one has been developed for the 2.3-litre EcoBoost model, the latter two were made for Ford’s 5.0-litre V8 equipped variants. Precisely, the Mustang with the CS350 Power Package has an improvement of its output of up to 330bhp. The CS500 Power Package incorporates an upgraded cold-air intake, thus making it possible to lift peak power to 440bhp.

    At the top of the range sits the CS700 Power Package, which dramatically increases the peak power of the standard V8, lifting it from 416bhp to 645bhp . How this was made possible? The tuner achieved it through the addition of a Whipple supercharger, upgraded intercooler and a new quad-tailpipe active exhaust system. And by the way, the other two packs also get the latter. Note that performance can be taken to an even higher level with the help of larger throttle body, uprated injectors and a different pulley. As a result, the peak power is taken to over 700bhp!

    All packs include Active Exhaust Control, which is activated by a switch located on the centre console. How does the Mustang benefit from it? The system allows the driver to adjust the volume and tone of the exhaust sound, choosing from Touring, Sport, Track and Custom settings.

    In addition, customers can specify handling modifications that complement the power upgrades. Precisely, the Sutton Bespoke Ride Package features KW coilovers and adjustable springs at the front, matched dampers at the rear. The result is 30mm lower height.

    As an option, Sutton developed the Appearance Package, which includes a carbon fiber decklid panel, chin spoiler, rear wing and side skirts, painted wing mirrors, gloss black ‘Pony’ emblem for the V8 , gloss black ‘5.0’ wing motifs.

    There is a Brake Package, too. It adds uprated discs with two-piece rotors that reduce mass and improve heat management. The standard alloys are changed with 20-inch, 10-spoke custom finished gloss black Vossen rims.

    For those who want their Mustang to look even more individual, the tuner has created an Individual Options list. It includes bespoke carbon fibre bonnet with functional ‘ram air’ scoop, carbon fibre rear window louvers, four-piece carbon fiber dashboard for the interior and a high-power audio system.

  • Vilner celebrates 20th Anniversary with killing it project based on Shelby Mustang GT500 Super Snake

    Vilner Shelby Mustang GT500 Super Snake Anniversary Edition front viewVilner has released a “killing-it” project to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the studio. The car under the spotlight is Shelby Mustang GT500 Super Snake. And given the fact that it is a very special project, it has also received an extremely good treatment. As the tuning experts say, the reasons for the exclusivity of this car are several. The first one is that it is the first car that will leave their garage with the “Vilner Studio 20 Years Anniversary” metal printed stamp. Even better it is first of more to come.

    2013 Shelby Mustang Super Snake

    This is the model used as a basis for the customization work of the specialists at the Art Studio Vilner. The muscle power hidden under the hood comes from the 5.8-liter V8 unit producing the colossal 850 hp (625 kW) and 830 Nm (613 lb-ft) of torque. The engine is fitted with a Kenne Bell mechanical supercharger with water cooling putting onto the rear wheels the massive 747 hp (550 kW).

    SEE ALSO: Vilner is Back with Custom Rimac Concept One and Tramontana XTR

    To make things a little bit spicier, we should also inform you that this particular model is actually the 57th example out of 500 ever produced! It is therefore no surprise that the owner has chosen one of the best places in Europe (even in the world) to customize its Cobra, and make it more than individual.

    The Big Changes

    Vilner Shelby Mustang GT500 Super Snake Anniversary Edition before and after first pic

    The tuners have changes almost everything inside, keeping only the silver panel on the dashboard, the door levers, the gear shift knob and the original serial number plate. As you can see on the before and after pictures, the surfaces have been mainly covered with a beige leather, black Alcantara and varnished carbon fiber.

    Alcantara treatment has been given even to the steering column box, the transmission tunnel, the door panels as well as the seats. Speaking of the latter, they have received red “Shelby GT500 Super Snake” embroidery. Above it we see carbon-fiber-made holes for the sports seat-belts. The same red color can be seen also on the seat belts, strips of the seats, contrasting stitching on the door panels and dashboard, as well as on the central marker of the steering wheel.

    Through a flocking method, Vilner has updated the A-pillars, the indicators for pressure fuel oil and compressor located in the left column, the plastic surfaces in the trunk subwoofer and even the glove compartment.

    And although the interior changes please the eye, there is internal work that can not be seen at a first glance… or even at second. We are speaking about the extensive silencing program done on this Shelby Mustang. The quieter moments inside were achieved with the help of special panels and pads mounted at key locations in the cabin.

    Additional Goodies

    Vilner Shelby Mustang GT500 Super Snake Anniversary Edition hand bag

    At last but not least, the emblematic for the Vilner special bag has been added to this project, too. In fact, it is not one, but two. The beige leather, the contrasts stitching, the red embroidery with the Super Snake logo – it is all there.

    Vilner’s 20th Anniversary Shelby Mustang GT500 Super Snake is not just a regular project. It is an epitaph of both-sided work: the first side is the work of the amazing Shelby team, and the second – of the exquisite “know-how” of Art Studio Vilner.

  • Ford invites everyone to a special exhibition event. Check it out!

    Ford Intellectual Property Power ExhibitionFord and the National Inventors Hall of Fame Museum (NIHF) are to unveil an unique Mustang vehicle that blends classic and contemporary features of the 1965 model and the 2015 model in one-of-a-kind exposition.

    This split-personality Mustang is part of a new Intellectual Property Power Exhibit at the NIHF and along with other exhibits, the Mustang is here to celebrate the story of intellectual property and the illumination of science and innovation in America. This interactive exhibition also highlights the importance of patents and the tremendous march of technology throughout the decades.

    The NIHF sought out Ford as its main partner for this project because the well-known brand has played an important part in the history of American innovation, especially as it comes to the iconic Mustang vehicle.

    As you might know, when Mustang was launched, there were no specific styling patents or similar. It was long after the car showed its true capabilities and potential and there were more than a million units sold in the first 18 months, when the styling patents were considered and applied. Cool, right?

    Ford Intellectual Property Power Exhibition

    Back in 1965, Mustang adopted more than 100 Ford functional patents. Some of them reflect what customers loved back then: a rear-seat speaker and a power convertible top. Also, there were some patented features that we take for granted now, just like Patent 3,271,540 – the origin of Ford’s self-canceling turn signal.

    SEE ALSO: Ford Performance and the story behind 2016 Focus RS RX

    In contemporary age, Mustang is also considered as a wellspring of creative design and engineering achievements. The vehicle introduced the first passenger knee airbag system with a total of 15 patents granted. Also, it debuts electronic line-lock, along with standard launch control for more consistent performance at the drag strip. Mustang also incorporates features as seat cushion with wallet or phone pocket, more comfortable seats and more.

    Ford Intellectual Property Power Exhibition

    Many of those patents will be on display at the exhibition, crafted by Classic Design Concepts, combining 60 per cent of the original Mustang and another 60 per cent of a new pony car. The left side is a complete reproduction of the 1965 Mustang model, while the other side is a 2015 Mustang that is already available in more than 150 countries.

    Visitors will also be able to get in the unique car in either side and directly compare the old-fashioned style to the modern vehicle appearances.

  • Meet Ford Mustang Geiger GT 820 with Almost Doubled Horsepower

    Ford Mustang Geiger GT 820 front View Ford Mustang was born more than 50 ears ago, in the distant 1964. The original American Pony Car soon became emblematic and now there is hardly anyone that doesn’t dream of at least taking a ride in it. The German specialists at GeigerCars.de have made a leap forward and given this amazing muscle vehicle a new performance and styling attitude.

    After the conversion, the car carries the label Geiger Mustang GT 820, and as you can tell the number behind GT is there for a reason. It is to signify that the horses have been almost doubled: from 421 hp to 820 hp and 760 Nm of torque. This improvement was achieved due to the addition of an intercooled supercharger conversion to the 5.0 litre V8 engine.

    So much amount of power just needs great soundtrack, and it was secured by the addition of the stainless steel sports exhaust system. With its flap control wide open this exhaust gives the Mustang GT 820 a mighty V8. GT Performance package balances the performance even further, and it includes a Brembo six-pot calliper big brake system, 3.73:1 final drive and Torsen limited-slip differential. Without being part of the pack, Geiger-sports suspension kit is another important part of the GT 820 conversion.

  • Limited to 50 Units 2016 Cobra Jet Mustang Debuts at SEMA Show [VIDEO]

     2016 Cobra Jet Mustang Front View2016 Cobra Jet Mustang prepared by Ford Performance has been just revealed at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas. Basically, the latest Cobra Jet is a limited-edition turnkey race car. The important ‘thing’ that differentiates it from any other cars is that the snake is absolutely legal for National Hot Rod Association Stock and Super Stock drag racing, as well as several other classes in the International Hot Rod Association, National Mustang Racers Association and National Muscle Car Association.

    The saddest fact is that just like the previous generation, this one is limited to 50 units and they all will be colored in either Oxford White or Deep Impact Blue. Of course, from each shade there will be 25 units.

    The exquisite work of the experts at Ford Performance included adding technology from other parts of the company and adapting it for racing. Therefore it is not a surprise that the Cobra Jet engine utilizes an electric water pump from Ford C-MAX Hybrid that allows cool-down without the engine running. As a result the car has more consistent racing as well as improved management of engine temperature. And to prove out powertrain’s capability, dyno cells were calibrated to simulate drag strip burnouts and quarter-mile runs.

    2016 Cobra Jet Mustang will be dedicated for North America only. It will be produced at the Flat Rock Assembly Plant in Michigan with production start on the way. The first deliveries are expected in the first quarter of 2016. Pricing starts at $99,990 USD.
