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.

The 5.0-liter V8-powered 2011 Ford Mustang GT was unveiled at the NAIAS yesterday. The beefy engine produces 412-horsepower and up to 390 ft-lb of torque to power the car to 60mph in under 4.7 seconds.
Ford’s upgrade of the engine from a 4.6-liter V8 accounts for a 97-horsepower and 65 ft-lb increase. Even with the bigger, more robust engine efficiency is increased slightly. Using the six-speed automatic generates a 17/25mpg rating. A six-speed manual will also be available, though no improvement in the 16/24mpg rating is expected.
With more power, you would expect the Brembo brakes to be standard, but they are being sold separately, as are the new 19-inch alloys. Standard equipment will include a new suspension, electronic power-assisted steering, and a more aerodynamic rear decklid.
Pricing on the 2011 Ford Mustang GT has not yet been revealed.
