Until a few weeks ago, I’d never been to Los Angeles before. I’d never driven an American muscle car before, and I’d never driven on the ‘wrong’ side of the road before. But I was about to find myself in all new territory when I was given the opportunity to take a Ford Mustang RTR [...]
One of the many perks of being a Speedhunter is getting to drive fancy press cars, and out of all the ones that my rear end has graced, I’d have to say the Mustang RTR was the most fun. Back in November, our fearless leader Rod Chong (having also driven the RTR) and I met [...]
Holiday Greetings to all of you Speedhunters. I hope you’ve been able to take a moment to slow the pace down and take stock of your surroundings. I certainly have used this brief lull-in-action for some concentrated down-time and have been doing as little as humanly possible for the past week or so. Well, at [...]
Ken Block’s Gymkhana has exploded onto the global scene, taking a form of competition that was previously something more associated with gentle Sunday afternoon auto-testing and throwing in racing technology, a ton of power and the full force of an automotive apocalypse. This year Ken brought the Gymkhana GRID autocross event across the pond and [...]
Many of you might remember late 2009, when I introduced my vision of a new generation of the Ford Mustang, the Mustang RTR. It’s crazy that almost 3 years ago seems like yesterday and in that short period of time this project of passion turned to reality and the RTR brand has grown faster than I ever expected. I am pumped to share this design sketch of the new 2013 Mustang RTR that will be released mid June as a dealer-installed performance and appearance package available at select Ford Dealers (including Europe and Saudi Arabia).

Just like year, I was invited once again by my good friend Yves Faber to check out the International Motorshow Luxembourg. Unlike the bigger motorshows, the exhibitor lineup is mostly of a private or dealer nature, with no real manufacturer taking part. For the fifth year in a row, Yves, along with a few other [...]
Ok this is my last SEMA car spotlight. I think Mike has a few more cars to showcase but this is the last entry for me. For this blogpost, I thought you might be interested to have a closer look at Vaughn Gittin JR's new toy: the Mustang RTR-C. The RTR-C stood out amongst all [...]
Man I'm tired… I just feel asleep while sitting here working on these photographs. It appears I'm still recovering from a wild week in Las Vegas last week. Oh well… best to crack on and get this story written up before I fall asleep again! It was a pleasant surprise to see Pagani brought over [...]
Like a proud father, I am very happy to introduce a new generation of the Ford Mustang – the Mustang RTR. I have dreamt this vision in my head for years; unfortunately, it has taken so much time for me to find the right people to help take the vision from my head to paper, then [...]
Here is the sneak peak I promised you all. This is the first-ever public picture of the extremely limited production Mustang RTR-C, the halo of the RTR brand. It is a one-hundred percent dry carbon Mustang for the street, which features in-car adjustable shocks, 550 horsepower, and carbon fiber HRE wheels. Only ten of these cars will be made. [...]

The RTR-C was the inspiration to create the Mustang RTR, which is basically a toned-down version that offers similar looks without the carbon or the serious performance gains. The reason I chose Autosport Dynamics (ASD) in Charlotte, NC to build the RTR-C is due to their attention to detail and complete understanding of my vision. I wanted a Mustang that [...]

Even though Formula D has come to an end for the year and is a huge relief for many, the next five days are full of suspense, insanity and excitement for me, as I get ready to introduce my dream that will become a reality in a big way at SEMA. A new generation of Mustang [...]

I suppose some people might call me a bit of a workaholic as I very rarely stop working. This past weekend though I had a little too much on my plate. I had two camera operators shooting 2 different drift films, was collaborating with our team of Speedhunters photographers, was helping to organize the Royal [...]
