As a manner of celebrating the 25th anniversary of Roush Performance Products, the brand is introducing its new Ford Roush Mustang that is slated to arrive in Mzansi in the second quarter of 2021.
The upgraded Ford Roush Mustang is based on the Ford Mustang GT and spawns a Roush TVS2650 supercharger that further increases the power output to 560 kW and 910 Nm of torque.
According to Roush, the power can be raised all the way to 578 kW and that comes courtesy fo a new air filter, uprated supercharger belt as well as fiddling with the ECU.
“The 2021 Roush Mustang exceeds every expectation of a high-performance muscle car and leverages a mix of motorsport heritage that adds a new dimension to this iconic vehicle,” says Andrew Mtsweni, Marketing Manager at Performance Centre. Being able to offer customers this latest Roush conversion in South Africa as part of the Mustang’s global presence is always an opportunity that our passionate team relishes.”
Other upgrades include the brand’s products such as two auxiliary coolers mounted beneath the vehicle behind the driver and passenger, a differential cooler and an automatic transmission cooler.
The new Roush Mustang rides on ultra-high-performance Continental ExtremeContact Sport Tyres on the front and rear shod with 20×9.5-inch Jet Black wheels or alternatively with Agate Gray forged wheels.
Roush has upgraded the suspension as well as the external look of the vehicle.
Outside, the model wears an R9 aero kit that includes heat extracting hood vents, fender vents, high flow upper and lower grilles, functional aero corner pockets, rear aerofoils and a blacked-out rear decklid panel that sits above the quad black-tip performance exhaust.
Aerodynamic functionality has been incorporated with the Roush chin spoiler which separates airflow above and beneath the Mustang, working to reduce overall aero drag.
Inside, it is fitted with custom gauge cluster overlays, illuminated door sills, Roush toolkit with sports-leather seats featuring the Roush logo, Roush-embossed floor mats and Roush key fobs.
Every new Roush Mustang carries a certificate of authenticity with a serial plaque on the dashboard.
While the list of upgrades is comprehensive, Performance Centre is offering the Podium Package as an option for those customers seeking to even-further differentiate themselves from the crowd.
This includes a carbon fibre rear wing with active aerodynamics, a sporty Brembo brake upgrade with new pads and rotors and Roush billet pedals.
Pricing will become available when the first units arrive in South Africa in the second quarter of 2021. Contact Performance Centre for more information by mailing andrew@performancecentre.co.za
