The 2024 Ford Mustang offers a hearty 487 PS from its naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V8 engine.
Launched on September 2022, the all-new muscle car gets subtle styling changes from the previous Mustang, but with a revamped cabin and a bevy of advanced powerplants.
Ford Philippines has yet to disclose when this latest generation Mustang will be launched locally.
But for those who want more oomph, Ford Performance unveiled its new supercharger kit at the SEMA Show 2023 for the famous pony car, bolted to the 2024 Ford Mustang FP800S concept.
The 3.0-liter Whipple blower includes necessary upgrades to air and fuel systems. It is compatible with either manual or automatic gearboxes and will be available starting 2024.
In addition, Ford said a kit that is specially designed for the more handling-oriented Mustang Dark Horse (which comes with 507 PS) will be available soon.
New go-fast parts
The Mustang FP800S concept also showcases other Ford Performance components that may soon become available to Mustang owners.
These include a Borla Extreme catback exhaust with four 5-inch tips. The concept muscle car also gets a lowered ride height, stronger half-shafts and carbon-fiber aerodynamic gear like the front lip, side skirts and more pronounced rear wing.
Looks-wise, the Mustang FP800S concept has off-color nostrils, a blacked-out roof, white wheels and black stripes running down the side of the car that emanate from the lower front grills.
Do you think Ford Philippines should bring in more hearty variants of its iconic Mustang?
