A Ford dealership
in Morrison, Tennessee has announced a comprehensive upgrade package for the
Ford Mustang GT that bumps power up to an extraordinary 808 hp while exterior
changes give the car a GT40-esque Gulf livery.
The vehicle, built
by Brown Lee Performance from within the Brown Lee Ford dealership, takes the
Mustang GT’s standard 5.0-liter Coyote V8 engine and outfits it with a potent
supercharger to create headline figures of 808 hp and 918 Nm of
torque, enough to spin the earth backwards. Other engine modifications include
an air to water intercooler system, upgraded fuel injectors, and a high-flow
air induction system.
This engine can be
paired to Ford’s ten-speed automatic transmission or a six-speed manual. The
car can reach 96 km/h in just 3.3 seconds and run down the
quarter-mile in 10.7-seconds at 212 km/h but it remains to be seen if
that’s with the manual ‘box or the automatic. Whatever the case may be, we’re sure
finding traction off the line could be a challenge.

Performance has made sure its limited-edition Mustang can brake as fast as it
accelerates by fitting Brembo six-piston calipers at the front with 15.1-inch
rotors and Brembo four-piston calipers at the rear with 15.1-inch rotors. There
is also lowered sport suspension and Michelin Pilot Sport Cup2 tires.
Then we come to the
looks. The dealership has been granted a license to use the famed Gulf Oil
colors and painted the Mustang in a stunning combination of light blue and
orange. Production will be capped at 119 units and customers will be able to
order the vehicle in both convertible and coupe forms with a 3-year/36,000-mile
warranty. It will make its premiere at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance on
August 18.
