We Drive the MMD by Foose 810-HP 2015 Ford Mustang GT

Chip Foose and Modern Muscle Design (MMD) have collaborated to design and build unique styling pieces for the redesigned 2015 Ford Mustang. In order to showcase the new parts, Foose Design and MMD teamed up with AmericanMuscle to build an 810-hp 2015 Ford Mustang GT, which will be given away later this year at the AmericanMuscle Mustang Show to benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation. After the reveal at Foose Design’s headquarters in Southern California, we got a chance to take the supercharged muscle car for a quick drive around the block. More on Motortrend.com:2016 Ford Shelby GT350 Mustang Chassis First Look MMD by Foose styling bits include a new chin spoiler, dual ram-air style hood scoop, side rocker panels, quarter-panel and quarter-window scoops, and a rear deck lid spoiler. Twenty-inch Foose Design Stallion alloy wheels by MHT complete the look. These wheels are powder coated dark gray with an orange stripe to match the custom exterior paint and pin striping. The 2015 Mustang GT’s stock brake calipers are powder coated orange to match the striping. Inside, there are unique door sills and headrests, while the dashboard is adorned with a special MMD by Foose plaque and Chip Foose’s signature. “When it came to designing the aftermarket parts, I wanted to continue with what I call design language,” Foose said at the reveal. “It’s the language and the style that the designers at Ford used when they were designing [the 2015 Ford Mustang]. When we want to produce an aftermarket part, I want it to look like it came from the factory.” More on Automobilemag.com:2015 Shelby American GT Review

Modern Muscle Design worked with the one and only Chip Foose to create this, the MMD by Foose 810-horsepower 2015 Ford Mustang GT. Several things will come of the collaboration, the best one for you being that you have a chance to win the coupe this Summer at the AmericanMuscle Mustang show in Pennsylvania. As of right now you can enter at the AmericanMuscle site, and if your name is pulled from the hat then MMD will fly you to the show in August and Foose will personally hand the car over to you.

For everyone else, there is still plenty to pay attention to. The 5.0-liter Coyote V8 gets 375 more horsepower courtesy of a modified 2.9-liter, twin-screw Whipple supercharger from Bama Performance. By the time those horses stampede down a carbon fiber driveshaft, MMD says there are 650 of them left to turn the 20-inch Foose wheels.

If you want to take your own Mustang in this direction, there will be a selection of parts created for this car coming later this summer under the MMD by Foose banner, including the hood and side scoops, rocker panels, and chin spoiler. The show car also gets a Vogtland Sport Suspension and a Magnaflow Competition cat-back exhaust. Check out the press release below for more information.

MMD by Foose 2015 Mustang to be Personally Given Away by Chip Foose at AmericanMuscle's 2015 Mustang Show this Summer

MALVERN, Pa. (May 20, 2015) – Modern Muscle Design (MMD), the leader in aftermarket Mustang styling, along with the renowned vehicle designer, Chip Foose, today unveiled a one-off 810-horsepower supercharged MMD by Foose 2015 Mustang GT at Foose Design Inc. headquarters in Huntington Beach, California.

Today's reveal comes ahead of the annual AmericanMuscle Mustang Show in Pennsylvania where the custom-built Mustang will be given away. The 2015 AmericanMuscle Mustang Show is the 7th annual charity all-Mustang car show in which 10,000+ spectators and nearly 3,000 Mustangs gather to benefit this year's charity, Make-A-Wish®.

At the heart of MMD by Foose is a 5.0 liter V8 engine producing more than 810 horsepower at the crank courtesy of a specially tuned version of Bama Performance's 2.9-liter twin scroll Whipple supercharger. After being routed through the transmission, a custom carbon fiber driveshaft and upgraded axles from The Driveshaft Shop, 650 horsepower reaches the custom 20" Foose Design wheels wrapped in Pirelli tires. Additional performance enhancements include a Magnaflow Competition Cat-back exhaust system built to optimize exhaust flow and performance for the MMD by Foose 2015 Mustang, as well as Vogtland Sport Suspension; assuring the perfect stance and handling to cope with the car's increased acceleration.

Starting first as a simple sketch months prior, Foose incorporated his signature design aesthetic into every aspect of the Mustang, complementing the car's high performance and bringing eight new MMD by Foose components to life which will be available as stand-alone parts to order later this year. Using an advanced system of sculpting and prototyping, MMD and Foose developed the new parts to become seamless additions to the Mustang's factory design. Each new part was further refined to ensure world-class OE-spec fitments and customer satisfaction when they go on sale in the fall, sold exclusively through www.AmericanMuscle.com.

"We are very excited to work together with MMD and legendary designer Chip Foose to debut the MMD by Foose Mustang to the world," said Justin Dugan of AmericanMuscle. "We are thrilled to be able to offer fans a chance to win such a unique Mustang at our car show this summer."
The new MMD by Foose products installed on this 2015 Mustang GT include:

• MMD by Foose Chin Spoiler: A sleek chin-spoiler that takes cues from the factory design and adds a cleaner, lower appearance to the front bumper.
• MMD by Foose Hood Scoop: The dual ram-air styled hood scoop fills out the factory hood's center channel and continues the sharp crease marking the center of the vehicle, adding an aggressive look to the front end of the car.
• MMD by Foose Rocker Panels: The MMD by Foose rocker panels elegantly match the side profile of the vehicle when combined with the MMD by Foose chin spoiler, providing the whole vehicle with a lower overall look.
• MMD by Foose Side Scoops: The MMD by Foose side scoops accent the vehicle's factory body lines and draw inspiration from the performance pony cars of the 1960s and 70s. Working in conjunction with the MMD by Foose ¼ window louvers and hood scoop, these accessories add a unique look to the car that underscores its raw 810-horsepower performance.
• MMD by Foose Quarter Window Louvers: Following the seam of the factory quarter window and adding just enough depth to nod at a retro/scooped design, MMD by Foose Quarter Window Louvers look as though they could have been added at the factory. In keeping the theme of all of the MMD by Foose parts, the subtle creases in the window louvers perfectly compliment the creases found in the hood scoop, side scoops, etc.
• MMD by Foose Rear Spoiler: Playing off of the factory roof lines, license plate surround and lower bumper, this rear spoiler looks sleek and elegant enough to be original equipment, yet aggressive enough to turn heads.

"I am so excited about the parts that MMD and I have been working on for the 2015 Mustang. They really enhance the factory styling while keeping that classic Mustang look," said Chip Foose. "We started by looking at the factory design language of the car itself and I really wanted to translate that into all of the parts that I designed. I didn't want them to look like an afterthought or obviously an aftermarket part, but something you could get right from the factory."

Starting today and through August 3, 2015, fans can enter online up to once a week to win the MMD by Foose. AmericanMuscle will fly the winner to its 2015 Mustang Show in Mohnton, PA. Chip Foose will be on-hand to deliver the keys to the lucky winner on August 15. The show benefits the Make-a-Wish® Foundation and is expected to draw more than 10,000 spectators and more than 2,500 Mustangs. Must be 18 or older to enter and a resident of the United States.

2015 Ford Mustang Dream Drive Sweepstakes Debuts | Edmunds.com

View Full Screen ADVERTISEMENT

DEARBORN, Michigan — Pony-car lovers who were obsessed with last weekend's debut of the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro coupe now can turn their attention back to the rival 2015 Ford Mustang, thanks to a new contest.

The Ford Credit Dream Drive Sweepstakes celebrates the 2015 Mustang and Mustang's 50th birthday with the "ultimate road trip."

Winners will choose a route from among six legendary North America roads and drive it using a 2015 Mustang provided for the trip.

The travel package is worth $8,500, according to a Ford statement on Tuesday.

The package bundles airfare, gas, lodging, spending money and a camera.

Official rules note that the winners must drive "a certain number of miles/kilometers each day. If you are not comfortable with driving a significant distance for several days or driving a short distance over rugged terrain for several days, do not enter the sweepstakes."

The contest ends on June 8. Entrants must be 25 or older, have auto insurance and a valid driver's license.

Edmunds says: If you have the urge to get behind the wheel of the Mustang on Route 66 or the Pacific Coast Highway, this is your contest.

2016 Ford Mustang Arrives at Dealerships in Third Quarter With Retro Packages | Edmunds.com

View Full Screen ADVERTISEMENT

DEARBORN, Michigan — The 2016 Ford Mustang coupe and convertible will arrive at Ford dealerships in the third quarter of 2015 featuring new packages and options with a retro twist.

Two Mustang trim levels that were popular with shoppers in the 1960s return for the new model year. They are the California Special package and Pony package.

The California Special package is available on Mustang GT Premium. Features include 19-inch ebony-painted machined aluminum wheels, special badging, performance splitter grille and black pedestal spoiler.

The Pony package is exclusive to the Mustang EcoBoost Premium model. It will debut in late 2015 and includes unique 19-inch polished aluminum wheels, tri-bar pony logo on the grille, side strip and chrome window surround.

The 2016 Mustang GT fastback and convertible can be ordered with a Black Accent package. Details include special 19-inch black-painted alloy wheels, black deck lid spoiler, dark taillamp trim and 5.0 and pony logos in black.

Buyers of the 2016 Mustang GT convertible equipped with a manual transmission can order a Performance package. Upgrades include a revised suspension, unique chassis tuning, more aggressive front splitter and six-piston Brembo front brake calipers.

New standard equipment on the 2016 Mustang GT includes the return of hood vent-integrated turn signals. The feature was first offered on the 1967 Mustang.

"These new hood vent indicators are a perfect example of us communicating customer feedback to Mustang engineers and the team responding with an exclusive new feature for owners of the 2016 Mustang GT," said Melanie Banker, Mustang marketing manager, in a statement.

A painted black roof option will be available for the EcoBoost-equipped Mustang and Mustang GT.

Ford has not announced 2016 Mustang pricing.

Key competitors to the Mustang include the Chevrolet Camaro, Dodge Challenger and Nissan 370Z.

Edmunds says: Baby Boomers in particular should love the heritage packages and features on the 2016 Mustang.
