Developed with integrated composite replacement panels and fully adjustable coilover suspension, this limited-production vehicle reflects the evolution of RTR’s design philosophy: a seamless balance of form and function. Materials previously unseen on production Mustang RTRs have been incorporated, marking a significant step forward in innovation and engineering.

The stance isn’t bad and the sharpness of the lines are aggressive but not sure how to interpret the wheel well wings.

What else can they do? Ford has the engine locked down. They determine who can do what.

Im still waiting for someone to do something to try and make the car lighter vs. just following the same supercharge it! recipe....

Personally if given the choice between 250 more hp and 500 less pounds- I think I would go the 500 less pounds....

You are certainly not wrong but exactly where would you find these 500 and keep the car legally sellable?

So how do you get 700/800 horsepower without supercharging on a S650?

This is the intellectual laziness I’m talking about by these aftermarket tuners. The work is already done. Ford did it. Do something better. Make a new car. Figure out how to take 500lbs out of the car, have McLaren make you a carbon mustang tub you bolt the rest of the car too, idk man start coming up with cool ideas and build it. Anything besides new sticker pack and a pre engineered 3.0l blower I can get for $9995
