The project was top secret and no one knew about it until one weekend in late summer when LA was woken by screeching tires. The final interior has a similar concept with a carbon dash, with an angled panel for switches including the now in-famous ‘Doughnut’ Switch. The interior went through a number of iterations and was a real challenge. These final images by Tom Harmer ( Studio ) show the final car on the eve of its debut at SEMA while the on location images from Larry Chen show the car during filming. Works well as it doesn’t destroy or disguise the car form. The livery design was created in-house by the Hoonigan team. Once the ‘concept’ design was complete, it was down to Vaughn, RTR, ASD and the Hoonigan organisation to develop the car into the beast you see today. Some small changes with the fenders, deleting of the front lip brake air intakes and different fifteen 52 wheels, but pretty close! We ended up developing this over a few months with reviews and feedback back and forth. You can see some of the softer form around the overfenders and front lip. These sketches from Round 2 (above) of the initial concepts show ideas for some of the main areas of the build including the front and rear spoilers, cut down over-fenders and an air intake.
The team required something a little more bad-ass, aggressive and more Mad-Max influence which ensured I left my comfort zone! Initial concepts were a bit ‘too’ resolved, clean and heavily ‘ RTR-X ‘ influenced. Vaughn and Ken had already trashed out the basic concept, very wide track, ITB’s sticking out the hood, low as you can go, so with some reference boards covering everything everything from DTM to modern race and rally through to classic Le Mans cars, it was time to put pen to paper and then tablet.Īt each stage, the art was reviewed by Vaughn, Ian Stewart of ASD (the car builder) and Ken and fed back to me. Mad-Max meets RTR-X meets Rat-Rod were the first thoughts. Vaughn had been contracted via his RTR brand to build the most insane 1965 Mustang you have ever seen for Ken Block for a then forthcoming Gymkhana project. This new Mustang project was almost a Polar Opposite! This had been based on a Reproduction 1968 Boss 302 to a very high standard with clean resolved lines. We had taken this path once before an designed the Ford Mustang RTR-X, supported by Need for Speed. Works for a 289-302-351w Based Engine.Back in early 2012, Formula Drift Champion, Vaughn Gittin Jr commissioned me to work on the vehicle styling of a special Mustang like no other.
