1,000 HP "Vicious" 1965 Ford Mustang Costs $1,000,000, Is Twin-Charged

The 1965 Ford Mustang can look like one of the tamest pony cars you've ever seen. However, this insane restomod called "Vicious" is the complete opposite of that, a fire-breathing monster that puts down 1,000 horsepower at the wheels.

This feels like a total anti-statement by the builder. The whole project ended up costing about $1,000,000 but it's the complete opposite of a Bugatti Veyron that you could get for similar money.

We're not just talking about the way it looks or the fact that it's unique. The "Vicious" Mustang is completely raw, with very little sound deadening and heat protection. Even driving below the speed limit feels like a big event.

The body basically started out as a heap of junk and was heavily modified. Basically, only the A-pillar is the same as on a 1965 Mustang. All the changes, the widebody, the spoilers and skirts, are done in metal. We know it's an eyeful at first, but watch at least one of the videos below and you'll grow to love it.

As far as the engine is concerned, we're dealing with a Ford Performance 5.2-liter Aluminator, though it's heavily modified. The twin-charged setup features a Magnuson MP2300 TVS supercharger for low rpm. Once the revs tick up, twin Precision ball bearing turbochargers pick up the slack.

It's been tested at 1,003 horsepower at the rear wheels. However, she can make about 20-30% more and put the Bugattis to shame. Like a true thoroughbred race car, the V-Stang is equipped with an EMCO CG46 sequential six-speed transmission, similar to the ones on GT3 racers.

Ridetech triple adjustable coilovers manufactured by Art Morrison Enterprises take care of the ride, and 15.5-inch Brembo carbon-ceramic rotors take care of the stopping power. The interior is all-red and themed after Ferraris - minimalist, but with a lot of attention to detail.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
