For those of you in the loop with Ford Mustangs, you should already know what "RTR" is all about. For those of you who aren't well versed, let me spell it out for you.
Drifting wizkid Vaughn Gittin Jr.'s tuning shop, RTR, likes to build its own variants of Mustangs. While this was a bit of a big deal with the last-generation car as the shop compensated for the standard Mustang's suspension, it will be interesting to see what RTR will do with the 2015 model.
Issued recently, Gittin has provided us with a press release and a teaser sketch of the all-new 2015 Mustang RTR. It will debut at the 2014 SEMA Show held in Las Vegas — one of our favorites.
The only information available to far is that the car will be had in either the four-cylinder or eight-cylder variants and it will come in two forms of tuning: Spec 1 and Spec 2.
