The muscular Ford Mustang GT-R rekindles the legend’s road racing glory and the magic of 5.0-liter Mustangs in a stunning racing concept making its world debut today. The Mustang GT-R signals a potential future race car while honoring four decades of performance glory just days before Mustang’s 40th anniversary. The bright Valencia Orange car – inspired by the famous Grabber Orange 1970 Mustang Boss 302 Trans-Am race cars (the Yellow Mustangs) piloted by race legends, including Parnelli Jones – is a technological showcase that, when peeled back, reveals a number of existing or production-feasible racing parts.

The Mustang GT-R features Ford Racing’s 440-horsepower 'Cammer' crate engine, already affordably available to grassroots racers that could be tuned to produce more than 500 horsepower under certain race series rules. In 2003, a tuned 505-horsepower version of the 'Cammer' notched world-class performance and endurance credentials by powering a Mustang to victory at the 24 Hours of Daytona race in the Daytona Prototype category.

The race car is engineered to tackle the world’s toughest road and street courses with a stiff structure (based on the all-new 2005 Mustang scheduled for sale this fall), a collection of the most sophisticated racing parts from many racing series and a Formula One-inspired steering wheel. However, the Mustang GT-R could be easily transformed into an affordable, competitive option for grassroots teams as it uses 85 percent of the 2005 Mustang’s body components along, the same suspension setups and the already-attainable 'Cammer' powerplant.

While conceptual in spirit, the Mustang GT-R is built by racers and is a capable performer with an eye on stepping up Mustang’s road-racing presence. Several racing series – American LeMans, SCCA Trans-Am, GrandAm Cup and the FIA – could easily accommodate the Mustang GT-R. For example, the car could meet some series rules with basic modifications to the brakes, wheels, tires and body parts.

While the Mustang GT-R is a concept, the car was engineered to perform at racing speeds with parts available to weekend warriors through the 2004 Ford Racing catalog today. The 5.0-liter EFI 'Cammer' crate engine, including the wiring harness kit, will sell for an MSRP of $14,995. The 'Cammer' engine takes the guesswork out of installation projects by offering a choice of several length 5.0-liter,4-valve modular wiring harness kits that are created specifically to cover the most popular engine swap configurations.

What’s more, harness kits – which include the powertrain control module (PCM) – provide all of the necessary electrical connectors, including end terminals, a fuse box, a power distribution box, as well as switch connectors and fuel pump relays. The role cage, rear spoiler and some chassis components are all being considered for further development.



All I can say is: Holy fuck! This car is badass!

silent_jay 04-08-2004 02:35 PM

WOW that is just WOW

Cynthetiq 04-08-2004 02:39 PM

nice. I like it.

with the rear wing and little headlights, I'm waiting for the people to call it "rice" in 3, 2, 1....

:crazy:

silent_jay 04-08-2004 02:43 PM

Oh we all know that's coming, I can hardly wait.

JStrider 04-08-2004 02:46 PM

id like it a bit better if they toned down the spoiler a lil bit...

but damn either way its waaaay awesome!

merkerguitars 04-08-2004 03:04 PM

I absolutely love the interior....it's so close to a race car :) sorta reminds me of eleanor from the newest version of gone in 60 seconds

Halx 04-08-2004 03:09 PM

:O

holy shit that's nice... as much as I hate ford, that is nice

Fenton-J-Cool 04-08-2004 03:10 PM

GODDAMN RICE!!!!!!!!!








That was for you, Cynthetiq.
But seriously, that is really offensive on the eyes :crazy:
It's like a Skyline fucked a Mustang and this is their love child :C

Okay, I've gone over the photos carefully many many times. I would totally hit it. But the interior is a little.. lacklustre ;p

BulletBob 04-08-2004 06:14 PM

I'd take a real GT-R over that any day of the week but I do like that Mustang.

username 04-08-2004 07:27 PM

Finally, a Mustang that I like that isn't from the 1960s.

The wing could use a little toning down tho if I was driving that on the street.

madsenj37 04-08-2004 07:47 PM

For the first time in my life I want a mustang that is younger than me.

jizzmasterp 04-08-2004 07:53 PM

That is a sweet car. Ford should make a production version of it.

MSD 04-08-2004 08:11 PM

I'll agree that the wing can be toned down for the street (although most who bought one would probably race it.) It's not rice if it helps performance.

WarWagon 04-08-2004 08:51 PM

They tried too hard. I do like the interior though.

Tech 04-08-2004 10:02 PM

...

you guys do realize that this isn't a street car at all, and won't be driven on the street? it's a race car, everything on that car has a function, even the wing.

that's like telling them to tone down the "look" of the corvette C5-R or the ferrari 575GTC or the BMW M3 GTR like you're going to be driving one of THEM on the street...

NukingFuts 04-08-2004 10:08 PM

That is bad ass!

89transam 04-08-2004 10:09 PM

The exaust , wing , fans , interior all look like ass. But besides that :thumbsup:

Rippley 04-09-2004 01:28 AM

Only two things I don't get:

1: Why aren't the discs drilled and grooved?
2: Why does the accelerator look like that, just a tiny little t-bar... Did they run out of diamond-plate?

Those aren't complaints, just questions. I'd probably kill to drive that badboy....! :D

leftturn109 04-09-2004 05:00 AM

i have always hated the mustangs after 1970 but this one looks pretty hot

Very impressive! I am definately not a Ford man, but this car looks great.

I think I know it's a race car, maybe it's the interior that gave it away. Oh yeah GT-R doesn't always mean race car look at the skyline that was for the street as well, and all those shitty grand prix's, and grand am's, and sunfires they all have a GTR model that they sell and they are the farthest thing from a race car.

Slayer 04-10-2004 03:51 PM

Damn it looks awesome. :eek:

theguyondacouch 04-10-2004 05:23 PM

That is badass. It reminds me of the boss 302.

Destrox 04-10-2004 06:06 PM

That car gives me a chubby.

opey99 04-10-2004 08:06 PM

I won't call it rice, but the wing on the 2000 cobra R fits better than the one here, I just don't like it much, I'd toss that specific sid exhaust too, just my taste

SVT01Cobra 04-10-2004 08:13 PM

*edit*
If the '06 Cobra ends up looking anything like that, I would nut my pants seeing those on the street.

I would say keep the ground effects in the front, and sides, and tone down the exhaust a little. It would be perfect.

asudevil83 04-11-2004 04:52 PM

yeah, i'm in love. when i get the money (hopefully sooner rather than later) i am definately picking up the new Stang. they look amazing.

Esoteric 04-11-2004 08:29 PM

Damn, that looks dope. Wow!

Confederate 04-11-2004 10:07 PM

looks a little ricey for my tastem clean it up a little bit and I am sold

silent_jay 04-12-2004 06:12 AM

Ricey how? Explain. Ricers normally can't back up the looks and this obviously can, and notice it is a race car kinda hard to have a ricer race car so you should explain why it is rice

I don't see anything wrong with the exhaust!:hmm:

supafly 04-13-2004 10:36 AM

Great looking car!

twilightfoix 04-13-2004 10:41 AM

i wanna make love to it so damn sexy

Spyder_Venom 04-13-2004 11:03 AM

Brembo's, side exhaust, rear defuser, ummmmmmm looks almost like they want to turn a Mustang into a real race car, I like it! (yes I know the purpose, but if you have ever seen a Cobra R on the track, you would understand it is a FAR cry from a race car). That cage is nice and tight, very well done install.

And for those ripping on the wing - function over form, if you want something nice to look at, buy a Audi TT... If you want something that goes fast, well look again at this car.

thadon 04-13-2004 02:51 PM

that is one bad azz Viper eater, I want one

MSD 04-13-2004 07:30 PM

I just realized that Sixate actually likes an American car for once. Surely this is a sign of the apocalypse :)

RaDiAn 04-15-2004 08:38 AM

Man that is awsome mustang....pure racing

Did anybody notice the upside down oil filter, I bet that would make a mess.

Check valve, thats how mine is - and to be honest, its cleaner than a "normal" facing filter becuase gravity keeps everything in the adapter and there is almost no oil on the face of the filter. :) Racing technology at its best!

myMHz 04-19-2004 01:35 AM

Very nice. Ford has got some of the best designers out there.

irseg 04-19-2004 02:09 AM

I'm usually in favor of function before form, but holy crap that looks like something a couple guys slapped together in their garage after a case of beer. Look at this, for instance.. I won't even mention the interior!

http://www.ultimatecarpage.com/large/1968-9.jpg

silent_jay 04-19-2004 08:41 AM

a couple of guys built that exhaust after a case of beer, maybe you were looking at the pic after a case, maybe it's just me but it looks fine, and the interior is great, unless you are one of the people who think it should have leather, dual climate ctrl, and other amneties.

Scorps 04-19-2004 08:44 AM

Maybe it's just be but the big welds, exposed screws, and wavy fabric (?!) gasket makes it look rather amateurish.

As for the interior...yeah, guilty as charged. :)

Have you ever run side exhuast on a car ( not side pipes but side exiting exhuast)? You need to have it plated and you usually will want to run a insilator behind the exhaust plate becuase it will discolor any paint around where the exhuast comes out. Then the next logical question is how the hell are you going to attach a plate with a insolator to the body work? I know of two, rivits and screws. Screws are a hell of a lot easier to remove then rivits if you need to pull of the shell. Considering the lines of the car and what they need to do to make it functional I think they did a fine job, if you don't like thier choice of screws or the fact that welding is the best way to bond two metal surfaces then -okay- but I don't think a lot of drunk guys could have done that good.

And the interior; remember almost all racing bodies require the removal of ALL non-essensal flamable material. this would mean you are not going to have nice carpet floors and plastic trim pieces. Doing a CF dash is a great way to save weight and cut down on burnables. The cage is tight, the floor pans are well done, the dash is functional and very well laided - what else can you ask for out of a race car?

Please enlighten me on how you would make these to parts of the car "better" with out giving up any performance or functionality.

Listen, I love mustangs as much as the next guy, but it's mostly the rear wing that turns me off, it looks like an autozone purchase. plus the two tips exiting the side i've never been a fan of. I know that this is done so it doesn't have to wrap around the rear suspension. I've always been a bigger fan on the two straight tips coming out of the back.
next, color match the hood, the carbon fiber looks is cool and all but it just stands out too much. then there are the various air vents on the side. I do understand why they are there and that they aid in cooling what looks like a badass engine.
I guess my point is, muscle cars have always been known for clean lines, agressive stance, basically an overall "clean" look.
http://www.used-carlots.com/mustang10.jpg

take this for example, same year and body style, but it gives a clean look as well as being very agressive looking. this is what I think a new age muscle car should look like.

silent_jay 04-20-2004 08:06 PM

That is a nice Mustang above, but the wing really is functional, and the car does have great lines, but I understand that you enjoy the more classical muscle car, I can appreciate that.

I guess this has already been taken care of. Thanks for clearing up the problem with the exhaust Spyder_Venom I was hoping someone with racing experience would straighten this out.

Thank you, its nice to see my posts are not written in vane. :D

irseg 04-21-2004 01:05 PM

Yeah, yeah, I know it's all functional and everything it has is there for a reason. I'm just sayin', it looks like some kind of oneoff custom thing rather than a product any major automaker would ever release.

Unfortunately, that's the concept. They "dumbed it down" some for the production 2005 Mustang. I was really stoked when I sawy the new version (since I have a '96 Cobra now and have been itching to get a second Mustang), but I was a little disappointed when they released the production images. This is what the street version will look like.

http://www.stangnet.com/2005fordmust...s/05MUST11.jpg

And yes, the GT-R is race car, just like the previous two Mustang Rs.
