The special Mustang, which will be shown live during the SPEED broadcast, will feature metallic “Back in Black” as a base paint and “Red Hot Chili Pepper” stripes on the front. The car will rest on 20-inch chrome wheels with high-performance Cooper RS3 tires. But that's the boring part...
Under the hood, a R2300 ROUSHcharger supercharged engine will spit out 540 horsepower and 510 lb.-ft. of torque. The high power is handled by manual transmission (the only choice for the special edition) and a suspension package comprising ROUSH front struts, rear shocks, front and rear springs, front and rear stabilizer bars and jounce bumpers.
On the interior, the tuner and the auction house added leather seats with embroidered Barrett-Jackson logo, four-piece performance pedals, Roush illuminated sill plates; short throw shifter with black or white ball and a new interior badge with the serial number engraved.
“The only thing faster than this muscular ROUSH Mustang concept set to go across the auction block will be the bidding,” Craig Jackson, Barrett-Jackson CEO said in a release. “With the ROUSHcharger, forged internal components and a resonator exhaust, this is one good looking Mustang that really moves.”
Roush will build only 25 serialized units built for the 2010 chassis, with an equal amount of units to be based on the 2011 version. Apart for the one to be auctioned in Palm Beach, Roush will sell all the others for an estimated $41,495 plus the Mustang chassis.
