Ford’s One‑Off Mustang V-10 Roars to Life on the Dyno, Delivering 510 HP at the Wheels

Ford revived a rare one-off New Edge Mustang prototype that used a purpose-built 5.8-liter V-10 grafted onto a 4.6-liter V8. After years in storage, Ford’s heritage team fired it up in 2026 and put it on a dyno, delivering about 510 horsepower at the wheels (well over 550 hp at the crank) with a raw, mechanical roar. The project highlights the people and stories behind preservation rather than pursuing a production car.

How Ford Used the 1979 Indy Pace Car to Launch the Fox Body Mustang

Ford used three 1979 Indy 500 pace cars to showcase the new Fox Body Mustang, giving audiences a first look at a lighter, more aerodynamic redesign built on Ford’s then-new platform. The pace cars featured a performance-tuned 302 V8 delivering about 270 hp, helped by Roush engineering, and contributed to strong first-year Fox Body sales while cementing the Mustang’s racing-influenced image. Replicas and nostalgia around the era continue to boost the model’s legacy and value.

Ford Renames Shelby Streets to Reflect Truck-SUV Focus

Ford is renaming two Carroll Shelby Way segments on its Dearborn campus to reflect its current product priorities: West becomes Raptor Way and East becomes Navigator Avenue, while Village Road becomes Mustang Alley and South Pond Road becomes Bronco Bend. The 350-acre renovation, set to finish in 2029, will convert Ford’s Product Development Center into labs, meeting space, Ford Racing offices and an employee gym, signaling a shift away from Shelby branding toward trucks and SUVs like the F-150, Raptor and Navigator.
