Old-school aesthetics, new-school performance.
It’s that time of year: The SEMA
show is right around the corner. Doors to the Las Vegas Convention
Center officially open on November 5. In anticipation, a stunning
supercharged Ford Mustang emerges from the shadows, ready to wow show-goers with wicked styling and impressive performance.
The
brainchild of NASCAR Cup Series driver Ryan Blaney and photographer
Larry Chen, this one-of-a-kind Mustang wears a throwback red, black, and
white livery inspired by the Ford GT40
race cars, which competed in the 1966 Daytona 24 hour race. Designed
and rendered by Khyzyl Saleem, the Mustang also sports nifty 20-inch
Fifteen52 Podium Super Touring wheels and ST Suspension XTA Coilovers,
which give it a pretty mean stance.
"As an auto
sports photographer who's been involved with racing for fifteen years,
I've learned to see more of the finer details of the race cars and the
drivers," says Larry Chen. "Ryan Blaney is truly the next generation of
NASCAR and one of the most enthusiastic, passionate and talented drivers
I've seen in years. I couldn't have been paired with a better partner
to create this unique and one-of-a-kind Ford Mustang..."
The one-off Mustang will debut at the 1000Bulbs.com 500 race at Talladega (yes, real name) on Sunday, October 13 before strutting its stuff at SEMA in Las Vegas.
