1999 Ford Mustang GT Welly 1:24

MUSTANG GT:

Following the base Mustang in December 1993, the Mustang GT was reintroduced in January 1994, featuring higher performance and better handling than the base Mustang or its 1993 predecessor. Ford carried over the 302 CID pushrod small-block V8 engine (called the "5.0 L" although its actual dispacement was 4.94 L) from the 1993 Mustang GT. Total output from the engine was 215 hp (160 kW; 218 PS) at 4200 rpm and 285 lb⋅ft (386 N⋅m) of torque at 3400 rpm. Mustang GTs could deliver zero to 60 mph (97 km/h) acceleration times in the high-six second range and complete a quarter-mile in about 15 seconds. The Mustang GT also featured a stiffer handling suspension, a 3.08:1 rear axle ratio (later changed to 3.27:1 or 3.55:1 depending on the transmission and model year), dual exhausts, and larger 16-inch (410 mm) wheels (compared to the base Mustang's 15-inch wheels). The 1994 Mustang GT was named Motor Trend Car of the Year.

For 1995, a one-year model referred to as the Mustang GTS was introduced. This was considered to be a "stripped down" version of the Mustang GT that included the performance parts of the GT model, but a minimum of non-performance related features, similar in concept to the 5.0 LX Fox-body. The 1995 GT was the last year of the 5.0 pushrod V8 engine.

In 1996, Ford dropped the 302 CID small block V8 that was in production since 1968 and introduced the Modular 4.6 L SOHC V8. These engines were produced at two different plants, Windsor and Romeo. A "W" in the VIN 8th digit indicates a "Romeo" engine, while an "X" indicates a "Windsor".

The Windsor and Romeo have subtle differences. Valve cover bolt patterns are one. Romeo has fewer bolts than the Windsor. Another difference is the front cover bolts. The Windsor uses 8 mm and the Romeo uses 10 mm bolts. The Romeo uses jack screws on the main caps and the Windsor uses dowels. The new engine produced 215 hp (160 kW; 218 PS) at 4400 rpm and 285 lb⋅ft (386 N⋅m) of torque at 3500 rpm, matching the output of its predecessor. For 1998, the 4.6 L V8 received a small increase in output, resulting in 225 hp (168 kW; 228 PS) at 4750 rpm and 290 lb⋅ft (393 N⋅m) of torque at 3500 rpm. This was achieved through PCM calibration and a modified fuel system. Though capable of matching or exceeding the older 302 V8's output, the 4.6 L V8 was criticized for delivering inadequate performance, particularly against the larger displacement of the OHV V8 used in the Mustang's chief rival, the Chevrolet Camaro.

2008 Shelby Snake Prudhomme Edition 1:24

La colaboración anunciada hace algunas semanas entre Carroll Shelby y Don “The Snake” Prudhomme ha dado como resultado este excesivamente radical Shelby Mustang GT500 Super Snake Prudhomme Edition, dejando claro que como pitoniso, no tengo ningún futuro.

Cuando se anunció comentaba que esperaba que fuese un Shelby Mustang GT500 con una decoración adaptada a los colores que llevaba Prudhomme en la década de los ‘60 cuando competía en la NHRA. Pues no, como se ve en las imágenes, es algo más que unas simples pegatinas.

Lo más sorprendente es que a pesar de su apariencia de coche de carreras genuinamente americano, está homologado para carretera. Sí, un coche como éste podrías encontrarlo aparcado en cualquier calle de Los Ángeles o de Chicago, junto a los demás coches. Y eso que llamarlo radical es quedarse corto.

Pero no será un modelo nuevo, sino que es un paquete de conversión oficial, disponible únicamente para los Shelby Mustang GT500 producidos entre el 2007 y el 2009. Eso sí, de barato nada, ya que sólo el kit de conversión costará 99.995 dólares. Si no dispones del coche, por 149.995 dólares te lo ponen ellos.

Aparte de las modificaciones estéticas, que son más que evidentes, el motor V8 5.4 se ha sobrealimentado sustituyendo el compresor de serie por un Kenne Bell que eleva su potencia hasta los 750 CV con gasolina convencional (93 octanos). Si se usa gasolina de competición (109 octanos), llega hasta los 800 CV. Brutal.

Pero claro, no sólo hay que cambiar el compresor para que esto funcione bien. Se modifican infinidad de cosas, como la admisión, los escapes, la barra de torretas, las estabilizadores, los frenos, las suspensiones y se eliminan los asientos traseros, entre otras tantas cosas.

La verdad, hubiese preferido algo mucho más sencillo pero mucho más bonito. Eso sí, por potencia bruta no será. A ver quien es el guapo que le planta cara a un bicho como este en un semáforo. No hace falta saber lo que lleva dentro para saber que será una bestia parda acelerando desde parado.

1964 1/2 Ford Mustang Convertible 1:24 Motormax.

The Ford Mustang is a series of American automobiles manufactured by Ford. In continuous production since 1964, the Mustang is currently the longest-produced Ford car nameplate. Currently in its seventh generation, it is the fifth-best selling Ford car nameplate. The namesake of the "pony car" automobile segment, the Mustang was developed as a highly styled line of sporty coupes and convertibles derived from existing model lines, initially distinguished by "long hood, short deck" proportions.

Originally predicted to sell 100,000 vehicles yearly, the 1965 Mustang became the most successful vehicle launch since the 1927 Model A. Introduced on April 17, 1964 (16 days after the Plymouth Barracuda), over 400,000 units were sold in its first year; the one-millionth Mustang was sold within two years of its launch. In August 2018, Ford produced the 10-millionth Mustang; matching the first 1965 Mustang, the vehicle was a 2019 Wimbledon White convertible with a V8 engine.

The success of the Mustang launch led to multiple competitors from other American manufacturers, including the Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird (1967), AMC Javelin (1968), and Dodge Challenger (1970). It also competed with the Plymouth Barracuda, which was launched around the same time. The Mustang also had an effect on designs of coupes worldwide, leading to the marketing of the Toyota Celica and Ford Capri in the United States (the latter, by Lincoln-Mercury). The Mercury Cougar was launched in 1967 as a unique-bodied higher-trim alternative to the Mustang; during the 1970s, it included more features and was marketed as a personal luxury car.

From 1965 until 2004, the Mustang shared chassis commonality with other Ford model lines, staying rear-wheel-drive throughout its production. From 1965 to 1973, the Mustang was derived from the 1960 Ford Falcon compact. From 1974 until 1978, the Mustang (denoted Mustang II) was a longer-wheelbase version of the Ford Pinto. From 1979 until 2004, the Mustang shared its Fox platform chassis with 14 other Ford vehicles (becoming the final one to use the Fox architecture). Since 2005, Ford has produced two generations of the Mustang, each using a distinct platform unique to the model line.

Through its production, multiple nameplates have been associated with the Ford Mustang series, including GT, Mach 1, Boss 302/429, Cobra (separate from Shelby Cobra), and Bullitt, along with "5.0" fender badging (denoting 4.9 L OHV or 5.0 L DOHC V8 engines).
