Ford and several third-party companies offer many modified versions of the hugely popular Mustang to serve a particular part of the market outside the mainstream. High-performance enthusiasts seek stronger, sharper, sport-car handling, while collectors and purists seek limited production and alternative or nostalgic styles, as is commonly found in many warning editions. However, others were made purely for experimental concepts such as McLaren M81 (turbo) and SVO, which subsequently influenced the design of the production model. Most variants include performance improvements, and unique cosmetic treatments that are usually minimal to maintain a familiar Mustang appearance. While most Mustang variants are intended for fans, the exception is the Special Service Pack (or SSP), designed specifically for law enforcement.

Third party modifications
Shelby Mustang
Carroll Shelby's car racer converts a conventional Mustang into a serious track racer designated as "GT-350". In addition, short hoods and rear seats that have been removed with trim that identify are one visual variation. The selected Mustang converted to street, street racing, and dragged cars at the Shelby plant at Los Angeles International Airport.

Roush
Jack Roush Performance Engineering, founded by former Ford engineer Jack Roush in 1976, has been known for providing racing, vehicle and engine parts. In 1995, Roush Performance Products was formed by offering aftermarket performance components, vehicles, and crate engines for road use. The company introduced three packages for Mustang. Stage 1 comes with 17-inch wheels (430 mm), lower suspension and exhaust system mounted on the side. In addition, it comes with air dams, side skirts and rear spoiler. Phase 2 is Phase 1 which is enhanced with 18-inch alloy wheels (460 mm) and BFGoodrich Comp T/A tires. The suspension is widely modified with Bilstein shocks, high-grade springs, rigid anti-roll bars and new control arm. Roush claims it achieves 1.0g lateral acceleration and is equivalent to a Porsche 911 Turbo. Both Stage 1 and Stage 2 come with V6 or V8 engine options. The top of the line is Phase 3, with 360Ã, hp (268 kW) and 375Ã, ft Ã, Â · lbf (508 Nm) of torque. Platform Stage 3 is basically a highly modified Mustang GT. Ford 4.6L V8 is enhanced with Eaton supercharger, new intake manifold, high performance fuel injector, air-to-air intercooler and lighter flywheel (manual transmission only). Stage 3 is available in three packages: Sport, Rally, and Premium.
In 2004, Roush released a limited edition mustang known as 440A. This is a Stage 3 Roush with additional custom 440A interior, Roush braking system, and rear exhaust system in place of a side exhaust system. The 440A model was released in 2004 to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Ford Mustang production. Only 40 Roush 440A Mustangs are manufactured and all sold at a dealer in Florida. Roush also claims that this model produces 400 hp (300 kW), a claim that has been debated by some who claim that the dyno machine was tested at 360 hp (268 kW).
In 2005, based on the S-197 Mustang, Roush introduced the Sport, Stage 1 and Stage 2 editions. In 2006, the Phase 3 edition was introduced. The Sport package is Roush's basic model, and is equipped with a high-performance body kit and exhaust system. Stage 1 comes with 18-inch (460 mm) chrome wheels and aggressive tires, high performance exhaust systems, body kits, and a wide selection menu for visual enhancement. Phase 2 enhances Phase 1 by increasing stock suspensions with high-performance front struts, rear shocks, front and rear springs, front and rear shake, and pinion snubbers. Stage 3 comes with 18-inch (460 mm), forged chrome wheels and high-performance tires, and a 14-inch (360 mm) rotor with four-piston Stop-Tech produces calipers, in addition to many "Stage 3" plaques, embroidery leather seats custom, and custom dash instrument clusters. The Eaton M90 supercharged 4.6L V8 now has an output of 415 hp (268.4 kW) and 385 ft  · lb (521 Nm) with a Roush supercharger and an air-to-air intercooler. The top of the line is the Stage 3 Mustang, but Roush admits that many buyers do not want all the features (especially cosmetics) offered Stage 3, so starting in 2007, Roush introduced the 427R. The 427R displays the same suspension, power-train, and most body-kit from Stage 3, but lacks the rear fascia and rectangular exhaust edges of various Stage models. It produces an additional 20-horsepower (14.91 kW) and 15Ã, ft? Lbf (20Ã, N? M) torque over Stage 3 Mustang, due to the increase in ECM (electronic control module). In addition, it is equipped with a "hockey stick stripe" appearance pack as a replacement for the two racing lines found in Sport through Stage 3 models. In 2008, Roush produced a 428R Mustang limited edition (followed by a limited edition 429R Mustang in 2009), which was the same concept as the previous 427R, but featured a horizontal nine bar grille, a sparco captive hood pin, and a chrome conveyor pump. Four and six-piston brakes are an option on both cars, but not standard. Also, in 2007 and 2008, Roush produced 100 Blackjack Mustang annually black all-time, and top shelf P-51A and mustang P-51B. These cars feature the Vapor Silver/green paint scheme, accented with a Satin Silver hood spoon, chin spoiler and rear wing (in homage to the P-51 Mustang WW-II fighter). The internal engine is upgraded to a forged spinning assembly, enabling the larger Eaton TVS R2300 supercharger. It produces 510 crank horsepower and 510 foot pounds of torque. The difference between model A and B is the belt drive for the supercharger - series A uses a single belt, the B series uses a front-end accessory drive (FEAD) double belt system. Other Roush cars produced in this era are the TrasPak Roush 427R which only existed in 2008, with improved suspension components, forged wheels and large APC carbon fiber wing, Roush Drag-Pak Mustangs, and various one-offs for Cooper Tires and certain dealers of Roush products.

Ford T-5
In addition to selling Mustangs in North America, Ford sees the importance of marketing sports cars abroad as well, especially for American military personnel. However, the name "Mustang" is the copyright of a small Krupp truck manufacturer in Germany, which prevents Ford from using that name there. Therefore, Ford re-bind Mustang is bound to export to Germany under the name T-5. All references to Mustang names, including steering hubs, side nameplates, grille, and rear fuel filler, are empty, replaced with the word "FORD" only. The "T-5" emblem adorns the front fender behind the wheel, where the signboard "Mustang" (and the horse symbol) is located on another Mustangs.
Other than this, they are exactly the same as Mustangs in other places. Almost all models and packages for Mustang are available for T-5 including GT. After 1978, the Krupp brand rights on behalf of the Mustang expired, so all Mustangs were imported into Germany after 1979 defending the Mustang name.
The T-5 designation was also applied to 13 prototypes built before the first generation Mustang went into production. The Ford Mustang II 1963 concept car also briefly contains T-5 tagging. In 1962, Ford Vice President Lee Iacocca led the Fairlane Group (committee of Ford executives and managers) to work on the front engine design, four seats, known as the T-5 in the language of the company, and later, the Mustang. To speed up development, Ford Falcon and Fairlane components are used. Almost the only remaining design element of the original Mustang I is a fake grille that re-creates a radiator spoon from two seats, and its name, emblazoned on its side panel as the "Mustang" stout logo.
High Country Only
The High Country Mustangs were created from 1966 (333), 1967 (400) and 1968 (251), as a special promotional vehicle for Ford dealers in the Colorado region, the first two years of Special High Country no more than special exterior colors and triangular HCS Emblem for all body styles. For '68, HCS became the hardtop only and borrowed the front headlamps, sidescoops, and Shelby care on the back so as not to be confused with the 1968 Special Challenger which only came with a standard tail housing.
Custom Skiing Countries
The Ski Country Special is a special area, promotional package of agents available in the winter of 1967 and not limited to the Mustang line. The combination of features that identify Ski Country Special are: ski racks, "coffee bar" (luggage rack), unlimited axle slip, unique emblem and two snow tires. The SCS package also includes five new colors: "Vail Blue", "Aspen Red", "Winter Park Turquoise", "Loveland Green" and "Breckenridge Yellow".
Challenger Special
In mid-April 1968, Ford Dealers Mississippi DSO 64 (New Orleans) began offering Mustang dealers, limited edition, called Challenger, or "Challenger Special". The concept is for 302 4v power packing in ordinary wrap coupe, in rare cases they are equipped with Shelby manifolds and 4118 Holley carburetors. At the end of April, at least 7 units came with 289 4v obsolescence while in the beginning to mid-May 1968 they included 21 units of 154 which were all J-code 302 4v with speed 3 specifically directed in the "lightweight" chassis (no power) option , aluminum intake, no a/c). The power-to-weight ratio at Challenger gives budget-minded buyers the opportunity to run Shelby Model at no cost. A similar 289/302 4v performance model was offered by dealers at other DSOs during the 1968 model year, including some convertibles and fastbacks in addition to the coup.
Mustang Cobra II
Cobra II was produced from 1976 to the end of production for the Mustang II in 1978. Cobra II is an appearance package only and does not offer actual performance improvements; it is available with 2.3L four-cylinder and 2.8L V6 in addition to 5.0L engine 302 V8. In 1976 and most of 1977, the Cobra II package was installed by Motortown Corporation for Ford.

McLaren M81
Mustang SVT Cobra
Ford Mustang SVT Cobra was built by Ford from 1993 to 2004. SVT Cobra represents the highest performance version of Mustang built by Ford, which is in the model range above the Mustang GT model. On rare occasions, Ford produces high-performance Cobra R variants.
Mustang SVO
Introduced for the 1984 model year, SVO is meant to be a model that will rebuild the Mustang as a modern sports coupe and provide competitors to the compact European and Japanese compact coupe today. The project became the first for Ford's new SVO division, which gave the car some modifications to the suspension and drive train. Power comes from the latest version and modified Ford's 2.1 liter OHC inline four-cylinder engine, featuring a new computer-controlled fuel injection system, and an inter-turbocharger. The power output for the starting unit is 175 horsepower (130 kW), excellent for the day, giving the vehicle a strong 0-60 time with the help of a factory fitted Hurst shifter. Updates for the final production car increased power ratings by up to 205 hp (153 kW) and torque to 245 lb ft (332 N m) by mid 1985 and revised to 200 in '86.
1996 Mustang "Mystic" Cobra
Mystic, Mystichrome, dan Mystic Gold SVT Cobra
1996 SVT Mystic Cobra
In 1996 Ford approved a new paint technology made by BASF to be exhibited on a limited number of SVT Cobras. This paint is called "Mystic". Depending on the viewer angle in relation to the car, or the angle of light that hit the surface, the paint will actually appear to have changed color. This change of color changes from almost black black to emerald green, violet blue, magenta, burgundy, yellow/gold, even chocolate is almost "root-beer".
Unlike other paints that create special effects by using a mixture of pigments or complicated multi-layered applications of different paint colors, Mystic achieves dramatic color change capability through tiny transparent plated flakes in paint chemistry that act like a prism to break white light into its various colored components. Traditional black paint pigments use a special line of color interference pigments made by Flex Products, Inc. called ChromaFlair pigments. You can learn more about the ChromaFlair color pigment line by logging into their website.
2000 Mystic Gold Cobra Mystic Gold Cobra Although Mystic paint is specially made for Cobra 1996 and never made again since then there has been a lot of color variations of paint shifts being made. After the production of Mystic Cobra BASF creates one of Saleen Speedster using Mystic color variations to be awarded in the contest "Horses Of Different Colors". From there, Saleen added colors to their Mustang range called "Saleen Extreme" which is a much lighter version of the Mystic color change color. With a price of over $ 11,000, this is a pretty expensive option, but the unique one remains.

Since then Ford has released two more Mustang Cobra with various variations of Mystic theme. The first came in 2000 and was called Mystic Gold. In most corners, Mystic Gold looks brightly lit gold, but under the right light will turn into a bright yellow or green color. Unfortunately, the 2000 Cobra never made it to production due to problems with Cobra 1999 and with it he died Mystic Gold.
2004 Mystichrome Cobra 2004 Mystichrome Cobra
In 2004 SVT released another "Mystic" Cobra this time which resulted in a color shift from a metallic topaz that transitions into cobalt blue, then into royal purple, and eventually becomes a deep black onyx. The color of Ford and the trim director for North America Alan Eggly describes a new paint color like this, "The bright colors and colors remind me of the heat-drained exhaust header," So he dubbed the new paint "Mystichrome".
2004 Mystichrome Cobra Seat 2004 Mystichrome Cobra Seat
The new car is added to the extreme look of the Mystic Cobra by adding a unique feature beyond the paint itself, colored leather interior. Satisfied with the exterior hue, Eggly and Ford Special Vehicle Team turned their attention to the interior. "The interior needs something special to complement the stunning exterior," says Eggly. "We consider spraying hard parts, such as a central handle or door handle, with Mystichrome paint, and then I remember a Ford State Tanning (GST) supplier, has developed a skin colored with ChromaFlair pigments." According to Eggly "Cat and interior trim perfectly complement the dramatic style and explosive performance of SVT Mustang Cobra." Only 1010 Mystchrome Cobras were produced for the 2004 production year with 515 in coupe and 495 in convertible.
Custom Service Packages (SSP)
In 1982, the California Highway Patrol asked Ford to produce a qualified and lightweight police car due to the current number of police cars such as Ford Fairmont and LTD/Crown Victoria. Using Mustang Version 5.0 Fox in production at the time, Ford produced the Ford Mustang SSP (Service Package), and modified it to suit the needs of the police and law enforcement departments. Nearly 15,000 of these special units were made from 1982 until their cessation in 1993.

Warriors in Pink
Starting in 2007, Ford and ESSENCE have partnered with Susan G. Komen for Cure to create the Circle of Promise campaign, which aims to raise awareness of breast cancer in African-American women. Among the campaigns, Ford produced 2,500 cars with Laskar in the Pink Package.

Mach 1
Ford Mustang Mach 1 is a Ford Mustang performance model that Ford produced starting in 1969. Initial production from Mach 1 ended in 1978.
In 2003 and 2004 the plate name "Mach 1" returned. Ford introduced the new Mach 1 to maintain the current Mustang interest until the launch of the S-197 with another special edition Mustang. The Mach 1 uses non-supercharged aluminum blocks with DOHC with only cranks being forged on manual models. Cobra uses 4.6 DOHC V8 as well, but it is a forged iron block with internal and supercharger, they generally mistakenly have the same block. It was conservatively rated at 305Ã, hp (310Ã, hp in 2004). Other special features include "retro" interior styling, with seats made to look like "comfortweave" chairs at the original Mach 1s, old style gauges, and aluminum pedals and shifter. Outside, Mach 1 features a striping package and a dark spoiler designed to emulate the Mach 1 wheel, the 17-inch (430 mm) "Magnum 500" style, and the "shaker" hoodscoop. The "Shaker" is so named because it is attached to the engine and pokes out through the hole in the hood, and will move with motor torque. Ford used the same cast for the new "Shaker" they had for the 1969 model. Despite having camshafts that generate power at lower rpm, the Mach 1 engine generates a power of '01 Cobra, partly for the revised 4-valve head, and increased compression from 9.85: 1 to 10: 1. The Mach 1 is also equipped with 3.55: 1 rear gear, making it very low 13-second 1/4 mile ET and trap speed ~ 106 mph with an experienced drag driver.

The package is only available in Premium V-6 trim, and has been offered since the conception on the V-6 model. Code 203 for Mustang is the most common for the 2011 model year.
Birthday edition
Ford celebrated the 20th anniversary of the Mustang in 1984 by issuing a limited edition GT model under the GT-350 designation. The GT-350 name has not been used since the last Shelby Mustang was produced in 1970. The GT-350 can be ordered either in a hatchback style or a convertible body driven by a high performance 302cid V8 or 140cid Turbo four. All white with special lines and letters while inside, SVO style seats are a feature of all red interiors. The 20th anniversary edition of 1984 GT featured a new look for the Mustang, including a white monochromatic paint scheme and a thick "GT-350" strip. These lines are very reminiscent of the classic Shelby Mustang produced in the 1960s. One major mechanical revision to Mustang's anniversary involves a GT suspension. This revision was introduced as a running change in early 1984 for ALL GT Mustangs. The pivot point of the rear control arm is lowered 1/2-inch at the top and 1/4-inch at the lower end for enhanced suspension geometry. In addition, the quad shocks replaced the old-style traction rods and the rear anti-roll rod diameter increased to 0.79 inches (20 mm) compared to 0.67 inches (17 mm) in 1983. Other newcomers in 1984 were the automatic recognition over Drive (AOD) Transmission. This combination can only be purchased with 302 using the Throttle Body Fuel Injection (TBI) system, also called Central Fuel Injection (CFI). Optional 165 hp (123 kW) 5.0L engine with CFI and 4-speed AOD transmission package offered with axle ratio 3.27: 1. The 175Ã, hp (130Ã, kW) 4V version carried over 1983 is available only with manual T transmission -5. 4V 5-speed is available with axle ratio 3.08: 1. The 20th Anniversary GT350 edition is produced for 35 days of production. All production is believed to have been done in 35 batches starting on March 5, 1984 and ending in April 1984, there is one last Anniversary Mustang Convertible (TBI/CFI Automatic) Produced on June 12, 1984.
There was no official 25th Anniversary model from Ford in 1989, although this was reviewed with several designs on body modification and performance. In response Ford modified the horse badge running on the passenger side of the dashboard, declaring "25 Years" at the bottom of the badge. This badge was installed from April 1989 for one year, until April 1990, the model year of Warning. After April 1990, Ford kept the badge in place, without the "25 Year" section.

Variant Racing
FR500
The name FR500 describes the Mustang racing variant based on the S197 2005 to 2009 chassis. Ford Racing is designed and built "turn-key," a competition using cars without a VIN number (Serial Numbers is used instead). However, the C197 chassis from 2005 to 2009 year models can be used to build the FR500S or FR500C variants. The FR500S features a racing version of Ford's 320 HP Modular 4.6L output engine (brakes/cranks) paired to a Tremec T56R 6-speed transmission, while the FR500C features a 5.01 "R50 Engine" Cammer sending 420 hp (310 kW), via the Tremec T56R. FR500 racing cars vary greatly depending on which series of racing they are designing. In addition, different sanctions agencies have requested changes to be made into the original "spec" of FR500. For example, the FR500C variant is homologized in, the current Grand Am series
While the part may be sourced to turn the Simbire S197 Mustang into a racing car of the "S" or "C" FR500 specification, the Ford Racing moves into the new Boss 302 "S" and "R" variants in 2012. Regardless, many FR500-based cars still found competing at all levels of street racing competitions, with NASA American Iron, SCCA Touring Class, Trans Am Series, and SCCA World Challenge Pro Racing, to name a few.
Boss 302
For 1969-70, The Boss 302 was produced for the Trans-Am racing series. This became the most popular Ford Mustang Boss. For 2012, the FR500 is replaced by a racing variant of the Mustang Boss 302. There are two variants, Boss 302R (Racing) for use in IMSA Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge and Boss 302S (Sprint) for other racing series such as SCCA Pirelli World Challenge GTS class.
Boss 351
Introduced in November 1970, the Boss 351 Mustang became one of the latest high performance models of the Mustang line. It is based on the SportsRoof Mustang Sports model and replaces both Boss 302 and Boss 429 models. The 351 Boss machine is a 351 Cleveland four barrel engine with a mechanical cam, a solid lifter, a compression ratio of 11.0: 1, an aluminum intake, and a main bearing block of 4 bolts. It was topped with a Ford 750 CFM carburetor 4 all-new barrel. The Boss 351 engine produces 330 horsepower at 5,400 RPM.

The Boss 429 engine is rated over 370 horsepower. It features an aluminum head, with large, intake drains and a free flowing exhaust, a crescent-shaped combustion chamber, and a large large valve arranged at an angle so that the intake valve is close to the intake manifold and the exhaust valve is close to the exhaust manifold.

Initial Concepts
Concept Ford Mustang I 1962 (First Ever Concept)
The Ford Mustang I is a small, mid-engined (4-cylinder), open two-seater body with an aluminum body, which started life as a design exercise and eventually became the famous Ford Mustang ancestor. Despite sharing some design elements with the final production vehicle, it lends its name to the line.
1963 Ford Mustang II
The Ford Mustang II is a small, front-wheeled (V8), open-engined (V8) concept car made by Ford Motor Company in 1963. Although it has the same name as the first-generation Mustang, the four Mustang II seats are similar to the variants the final production which will appear in 1964, is intended primarily for automatic exhibition circuitry. After debuting at the 1963 Watkins Glen Grand Prix, Mustang II had a short life span as a show car before being relegated to the "test mule" task. The only example still exists, though it is kept in the Detroit History Museum.
Ford Mustang Mach III 1993 concept
Inaugurated in 1993 at the Detroit International Auto Show, this concept gives us a peek into the future of Mustang. While not all are approaching the design for the actual 1994 production model, it offers Mustang's fanaticism some insights and hints on where Ford will go with their flagship. It's powered by a supercharged 4.6L DOHC V-8 supplying 450 hp (336 kW).
Ford Mustang GT 2004 concept
The 2004 Concept Mustang GT coupe and convertible were imported at the 2003 North American International Auto Show. They were designed after the 2004 Mustang production was completed to measure the public reaction to the design.
Mustang design was created from the beginning, the first in 23 years. However, the latest version relies heavily on the design of both the 1967-1968 Mustang and the Shelby GT 350/GT500. Ironically, the original Mustang is an American interpretation of European design aimed at the youngest and fastest growing market segment - Baby Boomers - while the latest version interprets American design through European lenses for aging Baby Boomers.
The 2-seater Mustang GT is powered by 400 hp (300 kW) supercharged 4.6L V-8, mated to 6-speed manual in coupe and 5-speed automatic transmission in convertible. The hood has a twin spoon placed on a U-shaped channel, on top of it with a separate body color panel. It extends the hood section, creates a customized character line that flows into the top of the instrument's double cowl, and provides the cool air that supercharged V8 channels.
Important features of the Mustang GT include 20-inch wheels, forward-leaning noses, and side scoops. For the first time in nearly 40 years of the existence of the Mustang, the spoon is an integrated design element that creates a triangular opening, and flows forward along the lower body line.
The interior is trimmed with red leather, black accents, brushed aluminum, and is bordered by a parody with a red leather racing seat covering black shapes on an aluminum mat. Similarly, the dash pad "eyebrow" ignores metal bands containing gauges and vents, and a red bottom.
The tail divides the lamp into three units on either side of the big badge that reminds the cap of the original Mustang filler. There is a resemblance to the top of the tail lamp with the back of an Australian Capri submarine in the early 1990s.
2005 Mustang GT-R Concept
The GT-R is Ford's concept to signal the focus on the racing market. The concept car has a new 5.0 "Cammer" V8 engine with 440Ã, hp (328 kW) and a wider body. The color of Valencia Orange is inspired by Grabber Orange 1970 Mustang Boss 302 Trans-Am racing car. The main design changes from the basic models include the GT-R wheels, Brembo brakes, Pirelli slicks, and a more aggressive look.
The concept of Giugiaro Mustang
At the 2006 Los Angeles Auto Show, Ford debuted the Giugiaro Mustang concept car. It was designed by the Italian car design company, Italdesign, and headed by Fabrizio Giugiaro. Italdesign, headed by senior Giorgetto Giugiaro, is famous for designing the Chevrolet Corvette Moray 2003 concept as well as the Ferrari GG50 and 1965 Bertone Mustang concept, becoming the first European-style car to debut internationally in America after World War II. The Italian design company has a long history of car design starting from Fiat, Alfa Romeo, Volkswagen, Mazda, Lotus, Maserati and Bugatti.
"When we saw the new Mustang, we knew two things: It was the best we had seen from the beginning, and we had to get one hand," said Fabrizio Giugiaro, style director of Italdesign - Giugiaro SPA "We still believes that it is important to show pure automotive practice in a style that interprets key models that reflect the history and image of important brands.
