2011 Ford Mustang RTR

The 2011 Ford Mustang RTR Package is a set of body and performance enhancements meant for the vigorous and energetic driver. The performance upgrade package for the 2011 Ford Mustang includes unique 19 x 9.5-inch rims, Ford Racing Falken FK452 tires, a pair of Ford Racing Mufflers, and a Ford Racing handling pack composed of racing-tuned dampers and springs.

The body upgrades for the new 2011 Ford Mustang RTR have been intricately planned to maximize handling and car stability. The steel seat belts are now firmer and wider, providing the driver with more stability during high-velocity driving. The frame of the car has also been tuned with a high-tension, high turn-up construction to assist the driver in controlling the vehicle at tremendous speeds.

To augment the car’s aerodynamic capabilities, the RTR package also includes a front mounted chin spoiler with diffuser and supports, a rear diffuser, a rear mounted aluminum spoiler and rocker splitters. All of these upgrades allow the car to cut through air resistance with ease, reducing drag to a minimum.

Finally, the package includes distinctive RTR racing stripes along with interior detailing patterns, comprised of original RTR floor mats, a shifter knob and emblems. This guarantees to turn heads whenever the automobile speeds by.

The entire package was pioneered by Vaughn Gittin Jr., who competed in the Formula Drift series driving the Monster Energy/Falken Tire 2011 Ford Mustang GT. It was then assembled in affiliation with the Michigan-based Classic Design Concepts, recognized for excellent quality and style. This package is available at exclusive dealerships only.

2010 Delahaye USA Bella Figura Bugnotii Type 57S Roadster

Trendy vintage style is getting resurrected with the 2010 Delahaye USA Bella Figura Bugnotii Type 57S Roadster. The car is sure to attract a lot of attention, and Batman might even turn in his grave for not getting the chance to have one.

The car is highly striking with its totally enclosed fenders that very much “pontoon,” exhibiting the strong influence of the Delahayes built in the mid 30s. The front tires are secured inside the notable fenders, allowing only for lock to lock stirring. The grill shell mimics the Bugatti Type 57, only 4 inches shorter to complement the car, while the radiator shell is topped by a copy of the iconic Hispano Suiza stork. The gleaming paint and bodywork are achieved with the careful application of the RM black and 5335 Glamor. The black finish effectively strengthens the classical character that the car parades. This is further heightened by the red leather seats, and the outmoded yet elegant carpeting and trunk interior.

The Bugnotti also has eight megaphone exhaust stacks that are all stainless steel, as well as a smoothly curving windshield designed by the well-known sculptor Stanley Wanlass. The car is powered by a LS-1 small block Chevy V8 engine, while gear shifting is managed by a 4L60E automatic transmission.
