2015 Ford Mustang GT F-35 Lightning II Edition Looks Ballistic
Slated to go under the hammer for charity at the Gathering of Eagles auction, this one-off aeronautical themed pony is one menacing creation. Although it's only a 2015 Ford Mustang GT underneath, fighter jet-inspired visuals turned the two-door coupe into a rather interesting V8-powered F35 Lightning II.
As the name suggest, the main stylistic theme has a lot in common with the stealth multirole fighter made by Lockheed Martin. Used by the United States Air Force since 2006, an F-35B will set you back a hefty $156,8 million, while a normal 2015 Ford Mustang GT fastback has a starting MSRP of just $32,100. However, this one-of-a-kind pony is expected to fetch far more than that.
The Blue Oval has made a handful of USAF-inspired Mustangs over the years, and the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds Stang from 2013 has been auctioned off last year for a dab under $400,000. So the 2015 Ford Mustang GT F-35 Lightning II Edition isn't going to be cheap if you want it. Anyhow, the lucky guy or girl willing to pay an absurd amount of money on the one-off Stang isn't only buying a special car, but will also help the EAA Young Eagles program which has given flight enthusiasts wings since 1992.
Just like the GT fastback, this stealthy grey Stang is powered by a 5-liter Coyote V8 that churns out 435 all-American ponies and 400 lb-ft of torque. The performance might not get your petrolhead motor running, but nevertheless, just look at the damn thing!
That wide and low carbon fiber front splitter, the oversized yellow wing at the rear, the lightning bolts on the quarter panels and the aggressive rear air diffuser are definitely something to make the kid inside you go "I wanna have a go in that!" Although interior pictures aren't available, we're certain that those F-35 logos embroidered on the Recaro bucket seats are also adorning a bespoke instrument cluster.

Ford Won’t Release Shelby Mustang GT500 Nurburgring Time
ecently, a video emerged showcasing the 2013 Shelby Mustang GT500 lapping the Nurburgring in an impressive 7 minutes and 39 seconds. The video was believed to have been filmed during testing of the latest generation Mustang GT500 but was still 2 seconds shy of the time set be the 2014 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28.
Seeking clarification for the video, SVTPerformance contacted Ford who swiftly responded stating that they will not be releasing Nurburgring lap times for their vehicles until there is a fair way to verify and inspect each and every car setting out to set an official lap time. Ford’s Global Performance Vehicle Chief Engineer Jamal Hameedi also revealed that Ford will not become involved in lap-time wars at the ‘Ring, meaning the Camaro’s Z/28 won’t be beaten by Ford anytime soon. Even if it is beaten, don’t expect to hear about it.
Finally Hameedi said that as it stands, there is no way to accurately compare cars at the Nurburgring. After all, conditions are always different as are the drivers meaning there is simply no way to compare one vehicle with a competitor at the circuit fairly.
Ford’s decision not to reveal its Nurburgring lap times may be disappointing, but we can’t blame them. McLaren recently confirmed that it would not be releasing the Nurburgring lap time for the P1 supercar despite confirming it had lapped the circuit in under 7 minutes.

Ford Mustang
mustang classic
The first-generation Ford Mustang was manufactured by the Ford Motor Company from 1964 until 1973. The introduction of the Mustang created a new class of automobile known as the pony car. The Mustang’s styling, with its long hood and short deck, proved wildly popular and inspired a host of imitators.
It was initially introduced as a hardtop and convertible with the fastback version put on sale the following year. At the time of its introduction, the Mustang, sharing its underpinnings with the Falcon, was slotted into a compact car segment.
With each revision, the Mustang saw an increase in overall dimensions and in engine power. The 1971 model saw a drastic redesign to its predecessors. After an initial surge, sales were steadily declining and Ford began working on a new generation Mustang. With the onset of the 1973 oil crisis, Ford was prepared, having already designed the smaller Mustang II for the 1974 model year. This new car had no common components with preceding models
