Special edition Ford Mustang GT to make world debut at Goodwood
02 Jul 2018|1,666 views
The one-of-a-kind Mustang GT takes inspiration from the RAF Eagle Squadrons that flew over the fields of Goodwood nearly 80 years ago. The Squadrons included a diverse group of American volunteer pilots who risked their lives fighting in the skies over northern Europe, including the British coast and France before the U.S.A entered the war.
The Eagle Squadron Mustang GT will be piloted up the hill by world champion drifter Vaughn Gittin Jr. on Thursday, 12th July before being on static display throughout the rest of the Festival. Co-created by Ford Performance and Gittin's RTR Vehicles, it features a 700bhp 5.0-litre V8 engine with a Ford Performance supercharger, RTR carbon fibre wide-body kit and Tactical Performance suspension package.
The Duke of Richmond and Gordon, founder of Goodwood Festival of Speed said, "We are honoured to have the Eagle Squadron Mustang GT making its debut at Goodwood. The car was inspired by the American volunteer pilots who fought with the RAF in World War II so it is completely appropriate to have the car here in this, our Silver Jubilee year, while the RAF celebrates its centenary."
