Wow....that looks amazing. I can't wait until I can afford a newer Stang.
This doesn't make me want A mustang. It makes me want THIS mustang.
Again here's the article.
The Mustang RTR-C is simply a far-fetched dream of mine that came true thanks to the hard work and dedication from everyone that I teamed up with for the project. While it started as a one-off SEMA project and a sick street car for me to rock, it has spawned into something much bigger and has turned into the inspiration of me wanting to create the more affordable Mustang RTR and the overall RTR brand.
My initial vision was pretty simple, I wanted to build the most badass modern Ford Mustang street car/weekend warrior that one could imagine. A car that any automotive enthusiast could not help but love. A machine you could cruise around town with your better half and something with power that could give you whiplash.
The fully adjustable suspension components and in-dash adjustable shock dampening enable the car to be setup for casual street cruising or full-blown track action and the response to the car has been overwhelming since it's SEMA debut. It has been everywhere online; in fact, Autoblog dubbed the RTR-C "The Best Mustang of SEMA".
The fact that is was the runner-up here on Speedhunters in the "2009 Demo Car of the Year" category was the icing on the cake and just simply flattering. Stay tuned for a full feature in Mustang 5.0 and a review in Car and Driver in the near future.
The Mustang RTR-C starts out as a showroom stock Mustang GT. It is then taken to Autosport Dynamics (www.ASDmotorsports.com) to start it's transformation. (I would like to share more of these pictures, but I don't want to clutter Linhberg's artwork with these.) Perhaps I will do a buildup feature in the near future.
Everything including the roof is then replaced with the highest-quality, lightest, and strongest carbon fiber out there. This is not your average "carbon fiber" which is fiberglass with a layer of carbon over it . Only the "real deal" for this machine!
Absolutely no expense was spared and attention to detail was the theme during the build of the RTR-C.
The 20x11 HRE CF40 wheels wrapped in Falken rubber dwarf the 4-piston Wilwood brakes and 14 -inch rotors in the rear. If you look close you can see the anodized blue adjustable lower control arm peeking through.
The HRE wheels actually are made with a 100% carbon fiber hoop with a forged aluminum center. 19x9.5 are what was chosen for up front. They are crazy light at just 18lbs. The braking on this car is obviously pretty serious from the pictures. The Wilwood 6-piston brakes up front and 14-inch rotors are most likely the culprit for me almost smashing my head on the windshield the first time I touched them (not joking).
Behind this carbon fiber grill rests the heart of the RTR-C, as well as an over-sized radiator. This is equipped with a 4.6L 3-valve motor with a Ford Racing Superpack Supercharger kit with an upgraded heat exchanger pushing over 550HP. All of the RTR-C's to be built will come with the new 5.0L 4 valve motor and a Ford Racing Supercharger to put out an estimated 650+ HP.
That is obviously a ton of HP for a car that weighs 3355 lbs wet. When considering all of the performance components and adjustability of the suspension "on paper", it is possibly the most insane street trim Mustang ever offered. It should put down some serious numbers on the track and I can't wait to test it!
The quality of the carbon work is hands-down top notch. When we were finalizing the build plans I was 100% stuck on making the weave of the carbon line up throughout the entire car, including all seams and spaces.
As you can see the team made it happen. That request was inspired by the Pagani Zhonda. Pictures really don't do justice.
If you love carbon like I do, you can seriously stare at this car all day just like a fire.
Like an open fire it is extremely captivating, pictures just cannot do it justice. (Sorry Linhbergh!)
The interior was designed to let you know you are in a serious machine, but not to scream it at you. I wanted it to be simple, classy, and modern. The carbon fiber adjustable leather seats were custom made by Sparco specifically for the RTR-C.
A leather-wrapped and stitched rear seat-delete keep RTR-C owners from putting babies in the back seat, and the harness bar ensures your harness's will be holding you tight!
Up to this point I have not been able to drive the car hard. It will be going to Ford Racing for a tune then hitting the proving grounds shortly there after for some suspension tuning. Did I mention I cannot wait!?!
Initially the car was going to be a one-off street car for me to enjoy. However, once the finished product was revealed, I felt it wasn't fair to not offer the car to the world. We decided to offer limited-production of ten that will be built-to-order starting in April 2010 selling for $135k each. Based on the bill of materials, it's actually pretty "cheap" for what you get. More information can be found at MustangRTR.com.

Ha! good guess...

"Drift-master Vaughn Gittin Jr. has build an all carbon fiber-body, 550 HP monster called the Mustang RTR-C, debuting at SEMA. Since it turned out so well, he's decided to sell ten to the public — for $135,000 each.
The car was built by Autosport Dynamics (ASD) in Charlotte, NC and aside from the crazy dry carbon fiber body, it also features goodies like in-car adjustable shocks, and carbon fiber HRE wheels. If you're interested in some serious weight savings in a Mustang, get your wallet ready cause the ten available for public consumption will cost $135,000. These are just teaser images now, but we'll try to take a look when it debuts this week at SEMA. "
Good save my friend

I saw it at SEMA. A pretty awesome car, but imo, not worth $135k. Hell, I wouldn't pay $50k for it, but that's just me.

Well even if you get one... it wont look like that from the start. That's probably over 10k on just body, suspension, and wheels.
Agreed
X2
huge fan of cf but cant stand the way it looks on a stang...so nope it doesnt make me want one.
The pics didn't make me want it, I actually don't like the look of TONs of unpainted CF on a Stang.
HOWEVER. The article made me want it so hard, even though I was scanning it to see if they somehow converted to IRS, which they didn't, but man it doesn't sound like it needs it.
^^ Yeah, I drew a frame of a man running on each fan blade. That is him running at idle
the new body style still sucks balls but thats a pretty good looking car
Nemesis' makes me want a stang
2007 Civic FA1 and 2005 Yukon XL Denali
All that CF and then has a stainless/polished intercooler. FAIL. IC should be flat black.

haha im with this guy
I know it would never look like that... I wouldn't actually conisder gettin one..
Its just that mustang in particular..that is so sick... Probably the sickest one I've ever seen
riding low is like a religion
honda made one also right?
the mugen advanced rr?

Doesn't make me want to want a mustang.
i like the front end on the new ones,but the rearend fails.

Add me^
oh god yes!
everyones entitled to there own opinion
riding low is like a religion
Me too. Plus carbon fiber is fucking gay now. So played out, hence the reason why I painted my carbon lip black. The only car IMO that can pull off carbon fiber is the MB black series or lambos or any real exotic for that matter haha.
Carbon fiber is getting played out because people just find random carbon fiber shit and throw it on there cars and think its sick. if you have a dark color car, and TASTEfully do it then i say it looks sick. on the other hand when people have yellow, red, other bright color cars with a single carbon fiber fender, lip, bumper it looks dumb as fuck.
The RTR-C is a badass. All the Falken Drift Mustangs use full CF panels already. ASD sells their CF parts CLICK HERE.
Actually, i and most others think it looks better than the first S197.
Just feels like they really took the time to make the lines right.
That's like saying horse power is played out.
Last i checked, anything that's worth a damn about performance has nothing to do with street trends.
Porsche still put engines in the back. Is that played out too?
A lot of cars can tastefully execute carbon fiber. Most AMGs, Scuderia (16m), Aston Martin, Audi (interiors), etc. It really depends on the application, imo. I plan on getting a dry carbon rear diffuser and front lip, but my car is a dark gray.
Also, I spoke with a guy here in Panama City that is experimenting with a " dry carbon look" wrap. He wrapped his mirrors on his 993 and they look sick! I would love to see a car wrapped in the dry carbon look.

3M DI-NOC dry carbon vinyl. DI-NOC was the original manufacturer of the faux wood paneling on the cars starting in the 40's then 3M bought them out. The faux carbon fiber is amazing stuff...

I agree. Also, I'm mutual friends with the owner of Carbon Fiber Gear on FB and a fan of his page. Sooooo much cool carbon fiber shit on there.3M DI-NOC vinyl.

Also, this is a bit off topic, but have you see Race Chairs? It's a company that turns race car seats into office chairs. Really cool stuff!

Recaro and Bride has been offering office chairs for decades. It's not too difficult to fab up a bracket for the "trucks" of regular office chairs to bolt on a race bucket.
Check out the judges chairs in this drift vid...lol!

Yes, but these are seats out of actually Ferraris, etc that have competed and / or won races.
Edit: Sick Brides...lolol
