A fastback one-off design that has a custom aluminum lift-off roof,
this Mustang also exhibits a prototype body that was redesigned for
Ford by Eric Black with a build executed by Hollywood Hot Rods.
Using an otherwise stock 2014 Ford Mustang GT Convertible as the
base, the artisans at Hollywood Hot Rods combined the styling
elements of exotic European supercars with the road manners and
manageability of road scorching American muscle cars.
Touting 650 horsepower on "mild tune" with up to 700 available,
this custom Mustang is driven by its supercharged (by Ford Racing)
and intercooled 5.0-liter four-valve Ti-VCT V-8 engine that is
matched with a six-speed manual transmission. The powerplant
features a Banks "Straight Shot" water / methanol injection system,
California Pony Cars engine dress-up accessories and the power
sweetly resonates through an HHR custom oval tube stainless steel
side exhaust.
The chassis hasn't been overlooked in this exceptional build.
Attributes includes Cortex Racing X-treme grip complete coil-over
front suspension system, the rear is the same manufacturer with
torque arm coil-over suspension and Watts link, JR coil-over shocks
with PAC performance coil springs (front and rear), StopTech front
"big brake" kit with six-piston calipers and 15-inch rotors while
the rear are Steeda with 13-inch rotors. A four-point rollbar by
Hollywood Hot Rods helps keep the occupants secure in this
high-powered machine.
The interior is a collaboration by Hollywood Hot Rods and Elegance
Auto Interiors and evokes the spirit of the Ford GT cabin, which is
sporty and ergonomically friendly. Relaxation is provided by the
4,000-watt Kicker sound system from Art of Sound.
The lowered lift-off fastback roofline is accented by matching
aluminum trim pieces and a redesigned rear section that shows lower
body airflow strakes. The aluminum trim components include a flat
front splitter, diffuser, rear wing, and rocker package. Aluminum
mesh and rivet detail are consistent with the beautiful build
quality that is exemplified throughout the platform. No custom car
is complete without industry-leading Forgiato wheels; with 21-inch
in the front and 22-inch in the rear, the proper stance is set to
show off while keeping the performance aspect at the forefront.
By accenting the baseline Mustang with complementing detail
accessories, converting the suspension and chassis to "full race"
capabilities, and dramatically increasing the power on hand,
Hollywood Hot Rods has created a distinctive and dramatic edition
that will garner attention and respect as it puts many noteworthy
and exclusive cars on notice. It's a device that will shrink time
and distance.
