Dubbed simply the Mustang RTR Spec 5 and based on the current S650-generation Mustang GT, the brand claims it’s “built to OEM+ standards that meet or exceed Ford’s own benchmarks”. Like previous RTR vehicles, its bodykit is striking, adopting a huge front lip, extended wheel-arches, side skirts, a ducktail spoiler and tweaked rear bumper, all influenced by the company’s Formula Drift cars.

RTR offers nine standard, nine premium and two colour-shift paint finishes, as well as a paint-to-sample service. All examples come with the Spec 5-exclusive graphics package. The interior gets a numbered plaque, an RTR gear knob, RTR-specific leather upholstery for the Recaro seats and floor mats, while buyers can opt to have a racing harness fitted for an extra US$1199 (A$1835), something they’ll need if taking this beefed-up muscle car to the track.

That’s even more than the 634kW Dark Horse-based [Shelby Super Snake R](https://torquecafe.com/say-hello-to-the-most-powerful-mustang-with-a-warranty/) (which uses the same supercharger) and the 608kW 5.2-litre supercharged Mustang GTD, making the RTR Spec 5 the most powerful Mustang with a warranty. Like the Super Snake R, the Spec 5 relies on a Borla cat-back exhaust system to shout louder, tweaked specifically for RTR.

Melbourne-based Mustang Motorsport has confirmed it’ll bring the RTR Spec 5 to Australia, however prices are yet to be announced. For context, the Spec 3 kit is priced from $46,500, not including the price of the Mustang GT donor car.
