Reed Speed Ford Mustang packing twin turbo and 700hp coming to a dealer near you


Mustang tuners are a dime a dozen, no doubt. But it's not every tuner that offers a 700hp, twin turbo Mustang that you can buy from a dealership. Randall Reed Ford is primed to do just that, offering it's own signature edition 2010 Ford Mustang at it's own stores and select dealers across the country.

The Reed Speed SSE has been developed with the help of Artisan Performance and is obviously packing a retuned engine, complete with forged rods, new pistons and Total Seal rings. The new internals drop the compression ratio to accept the 12 psi of dual-intercooled boost run through a set of Artisan Rear Mounted twin turbochargers. According to Reed, the combination is good for 700 hp, and will only be backed by a manual gearbox.

The whoa to stop the go comes with 14 inch rotors with six piston calipers by SSBC. A custom body kit widens the 'stang by 1.5 inches in the front and 3 inches in the rear, all the better to conceal the 20 inch wheels, which are 11 inches wide in the front and 13 inches in the rear. If you are drooling at the thought of having one already, there is no word on pricing or availability yet. But the car is expected to go on sale this summer.
