RTR-X Mustang to debut at 2010 SEMA

Photobucket

Vaughn Gittin Jr. is known for his ability to drive Mustangs sideways, as he is a leading driver in Formula Drift. But Vaughn has also been busy trying to launch his own car brand - RTR. The first car we saw from RTR was at last year's SEMA show, the RTR-C.

The follow up to the RTR-C is coming to this year's SEMA, and is dubbed the RTR-X. The car is a collaboration between the Need for Speed franchise and is based on a 1969 Mustang. Purists need not worry, as the body is a Dynacorn replacement shell. The RTR-X is powered by a 2011 Mustang 5.0 V8, and features a one off subframe.

You can follow along as the car is being built in the meantime.

SEMA 2009: Vaughn Gittin's carbon fiber Mustang


Of all the Mustangs present at SEMA, Vaughn Gittin's was certainly unique. In fact it was certainly one of a kind, as it's body is made out of carbon fiber, which helps the car weight a mere 3,350 pounds. That's a substantial 400-500 pound savings over a stock GT Mustang.

Attention to detail on the car is astounding. The best news is, a wealthy few will be able to own their own carbon fiber Mustang, as Vaughn will be selling a limited run of just 10 RTR-C Mustangs for $135,000.
