Design-World has revealed a package for the Ford Mustang GT.
As seen on the photo, the German tuner starts off with a black Mustang GT and adds parts of metallic orange, white and black to create a unique colour combination. Next to the paint job, a new grill and bumpers with skirts are added.
Of course, most important is the increase in power on the 5.0 litre V8 engine from 406 bhp to 429 bhp through use of an air filter, air box and an ECU remap. To complete the kit, the Mustang GT is fitted with 20 inch rims.

Ford has officially revealed the 2012 Mustang Boss 302 and Boss 302 Laguna Seca. The cars are inspired by the classic 1969 model.
Power is generated by a revised version of the Mustang GT’s 5.0 litre V8 powerhouse. It produces 440 bhp and 515 Nm of torque thanks to a new intake, a quad exhaust, and modified camshafts.
To ensure a nice sporty ride, Ford added higher-rate coil springs and stiffer suspension bushings. In addition, these models also get a speed-sensitive electronic steering system (with three modes: Comfort, normal and sport), defeatable traction control / electronic stability control systems, and adjustable shocks (with five manual settings) and struts.
Other cool performance stuff include a race-inspired clutch, a short-throw six-speed manual transmission, and a Brembo front braking system.

RM Auctions has announced plans to offer the 2004 Mustang GT-R Concept during their Ford-only event of its Monterey auction. The car is expected to sell for $250,000 to $350,000.
The GT-R Concept was originally introduced at the 2004 New York International Auto Show, as a tribute to the Mustang’s 40th anniversary. It features a TTC T-56 6-speed manual transmission, a Ford Racing “Cobra R” heavy-duty clutch and flywheel, a metal matrix composite aluminum custom driveshaft connected to a Winter’s race-spec rear differential, Brembo brakes and 20-inch wheels outfitted with Pirelli racing slick tires. Power is generated by a 5.0-liter V8 engine, with 440 bhp, which still runs.
An important point that one should keep in mind is that the GT-R Concept isn’t DOT or EPA certified and therefore can’t be registered for use on public roads.
Next to Mustang GT-R Concept, there are other notable vehicles up for auction. These include the 2004 Lincoln Mark X Concept (estimated at $200,000 - $250,000), the 2003 Ford Supercharged Thunderbird Concept (estimated at $175,000 - $250,000), and the 1962 Lincoln Continental “Bubbletop” Limousine (estimated at $500,000 - $750,000) used by President John F. Kennedy.
