Ford's 2026 Mustang RTR: A Drift-Focused EcoBoost Package for the Next Generation

Ford has introduced the 2026 Mustang RTR, a performance package developed with drifting champion Vaughn Gittin Jr. and his company, RTR. Priced at $44,860, the car features a 315-hp turbocharged four-cylinder engine, a physical handbrake, and relaxed stability controls to facilitate drifting. It is the first factory-built Mustang to partner with an external performance shop in over 60 years, targeting younger enthusiasts with a focus on accessible, high-fun driving rather than pure track performance.

Ford Mustang RTR Adds Drift Focus to Base EcoBoost

Ford has launched the 2026 Mustang RTR, a new package for the base EcoBoost model developed with drifter Vaughn Gittin Jr. The $6,520 add-on includes a physical handbrake, relaxed stability controls, and a 3.55 Torsen limited-slip differential. While the 315-hp turbocharged four-cylinder engine remains unchanged, the package adds a unique anti-lag system and wider wheels to improve drifting capability. Critics note the interior remains basic and the automatic-only transmission is a drawback, but reviewers agree it is the most engaging EcoBoost Mustang yet.

Despite having a maximum power output of 800 hp, the car was driven with 700 hp during its first outing due to the twisty nature of the track.
