Legends are hard to come by, especially in the automotive world. These slots are usually occupied by super exclusive vehicles that defy the limits of their time, but there are cars that were able to achieve legend status by performing superbly while being affordable. One of these legends is the Ford Mustang.

As a salute to the legend, H&R Springs created a limited edition Mustang. This is the 2012 H&R Ford Mustang GT 5.0 Project Legend.

H&R

H&R has been known as a manufacturer who has been able to produce time and again American cars inspired by European tuning techniques. However, it deserves to be noted that compared to most tuner cars, H&R made an effort to retain the natural essence of the Mustang.

Of course, as one of the best makers of suspension components in the world, H&R focused on the suspension department. Thanks to updated coil-overs and sway bars that have been tested in perhaps the world’s toughest race track, the Nurburgring, this endows the Project Legend quick cornering, sharp response and optimal feedback. And when coupled with 20 inch OZ Raffaello III wheels in both the front and rear, this car’s stance is formidable.

Performance

Then the trusty 5.0 liter Ford engine received much deserved love. With modified intake and exhaust systems and an Edelbrock supercharger, this Mustang has a maximum output of 640 horsepower.

And with an exclusive body kit and 15 inch disc brakes on all four corners, the H&R Ford Mustang GT 5.0 Project Legend has all the tools to hit the tracks all over the world, and win convincingly just like legends do.
