As fans count the months left until Ford will reveal the all-new 2015 Mustang (April 17, 2014), the automaker has released a photo of the Project Yellow Jacket Ford Mustang that will be on display at the SEMA Show this year (November 5-7).
Created by the team at Vortech Superchargers, this conceptual Mustang packs 605 horsepower and 473 lb-ft (640 Nm) of torque from a 5.0-liter Coyote V8 engine topped off with a V-3 Si supercharging system with 7.5 psi of boost. No performance data was disclosed, but we’ll probably find out acceleration times when the car will be revealed in Las Vegas.
The Project Yellow Jacket Ford Mustang features a Boy Racer body kit from 3D Carbon, along with a carbon-fiber cowl induction hood and other carbon accents from TruFiber, all finished in a custom yellow paint supplied by DuPont. On the inside, we can see a roll-bar behind the front seats in matching color.
Other upgrades include a Webasto custom electronic sunroof, a custom powder-coated Maximum Motorsports Road & Track box suspension package, Baer 6S six-piston brakes on all wheels and iForged Icon three-piece rims size 20- x 9-inch front, 20- x 11-inch rear, with black chrome centers and flat black lips. The tires are Falken Azenis FK453, sized 275/40/20 front, 315/35/20 rear.
“As a lifelong Ford fan, I was inspired to create this project car when I realized Ford doesn’t offer yellow on the 2014 Mustang,” commented Brian Ellis, sales, marketing and social media manager for AirPower Group. “We wanted to create something really eye-popping with a mechanical package to match the appearance.” I don’t know about you, but they’ve definitely convinced me.
