14 Tuned Ford Mustangs at SEMA

Ford has pulled out all of the stops to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Mustang by highlighting the iconic pony car at SEMA featuring fourteen customized 2015 Mustangs at the huge aftermarket show in Las Vegas. The updated Mustang has been given the performance treatment by performance giants such as ROUSH, Chip Foose, and Petty’s Garage. Let’s take a look at these black, blue and striped beauties.

2015 Mustang Fastback by MRT

Using a 2015 Mustang coupe with a 2.3L Ecoboost engine, MRT created the street-legal TKO. The body is black with bright orange Forgiato wheels, Mustang badge, and a hot orange glow behind the grille.

Painted a sleek black, the “Outlaw” is accented with red-lined front chin spoiler, an upper and lower formed mesh performance grille, and a rear spoiler.

Not a flashy design, the 2015 Mustang Convertible was given the Foose treatment with a subdued sage green, featuring a single darker green strip with two orange stripes down the center. Foose reshaped the front fascia, added a hood and side scoops, and upgraded the interior with leather seats. Parts featured on the vehicle are from the MMD by Foose collection, and will be available for purchase at AmericanMuscle.com in August 2015.

With a firm nod to the pony cars of the 1970's, Ford’s big reveal at 2014 SEMA was the King Cobra Parts Package for the Mustang GT. With three different performance packs - the Drag Pack, Handing Pack, and Super Pack, the Hellcat fighter features a wicked King Cobra graphic on the hood.

The 50th Anniversary is the golden anniversary, and MAD Industries accented the dark red (“merlot”) with gold 22” Monoblock Niche Masano wheels and gold-tinted windows. Carbon fiber front splitters and a rear lip spoiler was added, and and Whipple carbon engine and supercharger kit under the hood.

CGS went all out with the red fastback, giving the 6-speed manual GT a Whipple supercharger, Brembo monoblock brake capilers, Eibach Suspension front swings and a swaybar, as well as a GoPro installed inside.

Forgiato is a Los Angeles-based luxury wheel manufacturer. Forgiato made over the fastback with silver with black accents, widening the stance 3” in the front and 4” in the back, and Forgiata Navaja ECX-forged wheels.

White with orange racing stripes, the supercharged V8 coupe boasts 640 hp, black ceramic cat back exhausts, and red Wildwood 6-piston caliper brakes. The interior is kitted out with two-tone leather interior and Sparco racing belt harnesses.

Galpin Auto Sports takes the Gold Anniversary concept a step further by featuring a glass hood window displaying the gold-plated Whipple supercharger capable of producing 725 hp. With black and gold flake paint, the Diet Death Star Wheels are also gold, and more gold chrome accents the interior.

Ken Block launched the Hoonicorn RTR Mustang via video at 2014 SEMA. The inimitable rally car driver will feature the all-wheel drive, 845 hp 1965 notchback in his upcoming Gymkhana SEVEN video. The car was developed for two years with Vaughn Gitten Jr. and the RTR team.

EcoBoost Motorsports turbocharged the 2.3L EcoBoost engine with a Full-Race Freakoboost Turbo Kit, and dressed it up with shimmering white pearl paint and a Kognition wing kit. the interior features a 7” Android touch screen with the TORQUE app.

A stunning two-tone gray and black with red stripe accent, Watson Racing used Ford Racing Performance parts to supercharge the engine, then added Watson Racing seat mounts and weld-in roll cage for this light-weight street-legal racer.

The ROUSH Stage 3 TrakPack screams “race me.” The vivid “Blue Bayou” body is accented with Stage 3 badging and a ROUSH windshield banner, while underneath the hood scoop thrums a ROUSH-YATES 777 hp supercharged powertrain mated with a 6-speed manual transmission.

Richard Petty himself was on hand to at the launch of the King Cobra. The Petty Edition Mustang GT is two-tone with Tuxedo Black top and Petty Blue body with color-matched rims on the 20” forged wheels.  The edition is serialized with a plaque and autographed by Richard Petty.

As part of the 50th Anniversary, a Mustang from every year ringed the outdoor Ford Out Front track. Inside the convention center, while technically not part of the fourteen highly tuned 2015 Mustangs, the Ford display at SEMA featured more beautiful examples of classic ‘Stangs. Placed up and and out of the way was Randy Grainger’s 1969 R-Code Mach 1 with a 428 CObra Jet motor and a 671 blower. A 35-year labor of love that followed him to the Phillipines and back, the stunning deep red paint is the result of a three-stage process. This is no trailer queen - Grainger lovingly drives it every weekend - which is exactly what the Ford Mustang is for: driving.
