Right now, all eyes and ears of Ford Motor Company enthusiasts are focused on the upcoming weekend because – as per Jim Farley's cryptic teaser on X (formerly Twitter), on November 11, we are getting the first special version of the 2024 Ford Mustang (S650).
Given the GT/CS badge, it is pretty evident that FoMoCo's CEO was hinting at the impending arrival of the 2024 or 2025 Ford Mustang GT California Special with the Coyote V8 onboard. That's a nice callout to the 'Stang after the 2023 SEMA Show brought us the news of a potential FP800S package with a supercharger kit and more than 800 horsepower for the seventh-gen series.
Additionally, Ford also focused on the off-road side of things with builds, parts, and packs for the Bronco and Ranger mid-size models. How about the little ones, like the best-selling Ford Maverick unibody compact pickup truck? Well, I'm afraid there wasn't anything out of the ordinary for the 2024MY from the OEM. However, the aftermarket realm didn't neglect it, luckily.
One of the best examples comes from Forgiato, the Los Angeles, California, expert wheel designer. We are used to seeing various luxury or exotic stuff from this company – such as a pumpkin-specked Rolls-Royce Cullinan or Ram 3500 Dually that would immediately make any 'hi-riser' fan blush. They also usually dwell around Mercedes-Maybach SUVs and sedans or Rolls-Royce limousines, even when they are not trying to stand out in any crowd.
So, it is pretty obvious that a Ford Maverick dressed for the 2023 SEMA Show and riding lowered on a nice set of all-black Forgis got our attention, right? Air Design USA prepared this rig and featured an outlandish dark orange plus piano-black combination on the outside. It's probably tuned, not just customized, as the unibody compact pickup truck sits closer to the ground than stock and also rocks a nice exhaust setup, hinting that something might be amiss under the hood, too.
Unfortunately, there are no photos of the interior and also no technical specifications regarding what's been done to deserve a place in the aftermarket specialist's booth at the SEMA Show. All we know is that it deserved it, even if we are dealing with affordable machinery that costs between $23,400 and $34,135 for the 2024 model year!
Interestingly, Ford is clearly interested in expanding the scope of the Maverick series, as we recently heard that FoMoCo confirmed "new extensions of the Bronco and Maverick nameplates." Additionally, as far as the Maverick is concerned, that panned out pretty fast because a little while later, our spy photographer partners caught the prototype of the rumored Ford Maverick 'Lobo,' a potential street-oriented build that would sit opposite the off-road-focused Tremor version in the family.
