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.

Ford's Boss 429: The Street-Legal Engine That Couldn’t Fit, Forcing Hand-Crafted Mustangs

Under NASCAR rules Ford had to sell a street version of the 429-cubic-inch engine, but the engine bay wasn’t built to accommodate it. Kar Kraft workers cut and reassembled every Boss 429 by hand to make them legal, resulting in fewer than 1,400 cars and helping cement the Boss 429’s legendary status in muscle-car history.

From salvage to value: Australia’s cheapest V8 Mustang flips in a week

YouTuber Matty Willo buys the cheapest V8 2016 Ford Mustang GT (with only ~34k miles) at a Pickles salvage auction in Australia for AUD 20,000 after fees. Despite front-end damage, the frame was straight, and he replaced OEM parts (radiator support, bumper, grille, etc.) for about AUD 2,500, bringing total investment to ~AUD 26,000. With the 5.0L Coyote V8 and manual transmission, the car is a strong bargain since similar V8 Mustangs in Australia command higher prices, effectively turning a salvage purchase into a valuable flip in just a week.
