Engine swaps, after-market parts and paint jobs have become fairly common practice in elevating a car to the next level. However, when every part counts you can’t overlook anything, even if it means completely replacing the body, which is exactly what Vaughn Gittin Jr. did with his 2010 Ford Mustang RTR- C.
In order to shed weight off the Mustang Vaughn and the RTR team hand built the car entirely of carbon fiber reducing its weight by 500 pounds. “We wanted to show the forward-thinking mindsest of the brand in the form of one of the most functional and bad ass looking Mustangs of all time,” said Vaughn. “Bad ass looking” is an understatement as the team went to extremes taking cues from the Pagani Zonda making sure all the carbon fiber weaves line up.
Beneath the carbon fiber upgrades are some performance upgrades contributing to the 550hp output of the RTR-C. The 4.6-liter V8 features a Ford Racing Supercharger, Ford Racing mufflers and American Racing headers all boost the performance while the $25,000 a set one-off HRE wheels add to the handling and style.
Crossing the block this weekend at Barrett-Jackson some lucky bidder will be able to take home not just an amazing Mustang, but one of Vaughn’s favorite cars. “This car is the first special vehicle ever built by RTR,” said Vaughn. “I personally signed off on every single part this is on this vehicle and enjoyed putting every single one – of the very few miles it has – on it.”
