Roush has taken the wraps off the 2017 P-51 Mustang.
Billed as the company's most powerful model to date, the P-51 has been equipped
with a new front fascia, a carbon fiber front splitter, and a ram air hood.
At back, we can see aerodynamic side
skirts, extended side scoops, and 19-inch Weld Racing wheels shod in
Continental ExtremeContact Sport tires. Other highlights include a carbon fiber
rear spoiler, matte green graphics, and an active exhaust system which can be
customized using a mobile app.
The interior comes nicely equipped with Amaretto
Tuscany leather seats which draw inspiration from World War II bomber jackets.
Drivers will also find a red ball shifter, billet pedals, and an
individually-numbered plaque. The model also has a revised instrument cluster,
special floor mats, and illuminated door sill plates.
Power is provided by a 5.0-liter V8 engine that has
been outfitted with a 2.3-liter Eaton TVS supercharger. This enables the engine
to produce an impressive 727 hp and 826 Nm of torque. It
can be connected to either a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic
transmission.
Production will be limited to 51 units and pricing
starts at US$ 42,500 excluding the cost of the Mustang GT. That means buyers are
looking a US$ 70,000+ muscle car but, on the bright side, the P-51 Mustang comes
with a three year / 36,000 mile warranty.
