Roush Performance is paying tribute to its founder
by unveiling the Jack Roush Edition Mustang at SEMA. Designed to celebrate his
induction into the NASCAR Hall of Fame, the model has the most powerful engine
ever used in a Roush Mustang. In this case, it’s 5.0-liter V8 that has been
equipped with a Roush Phase 3 TVS R2650 supercharger. The latter component
enables the engine to produce 775 hp and 907 Nm of torque.
Besides the supercharged engine, the Mustang has an
active exhaust with four different modes. The model has also been equipped with
a heavy duty cooling system that features larger radiators and additional
coolers for the engine, transmission and differential.
Other upgrades include a custom-tuned MagneRide
suspension and lowering springs. The model also sports forged wheels that are
wrapped in Continental ExtremeContact Sport tires and backed up by a
high-performance Brembo braking system.
Speaking of the exterior, it’s undeniably aggressive
as the car has been equipped with an “R9 Aero Kit.” It includes a front
splitter, a ventilated hood and a rear diffuser. The model also has a revised
grille, front fender vents and a Roush-branded rear blackout panel. Other
highlights include special graphics and a carbon fiber rear wing.
Customers looking for something more unique can
order the optional Competition Pack. Designed specifically for track use, the
package features lightweight Weld Racing wheels shod in Continental
ExtremeContact DR racing slicks. The company said the tires enable the car to
pull 1.14g on the skid pad.
Inside, there’s leather and suede sport seats with
contrast stitching and embroidered backrests. The model also has a
suede-wrapped steering wheel, a Roush-branded gear knob and special badging. Production will be limited to 60
units and the model is slated to be launched in the spring of 2020.
