Last year, Tickford showed us a unique sports car stylized to evoke associations with the iconic 1969 Ford Mustang BOSS 302 Trans-Am. The car went to Allan Moffat, famous Canadian-Australian racecar driver who won four Australia Touring Car Championships piloting the original vehicle. Now, the tuner has announced a whole series of such cars.
The series will be based on the 2018 Ford Mustang GT and consist of just 100 cars; prices remain unknown. Customers will be able to select between manual and automatic transmission. There will be two trim versions: Performance and Performance Plus. Both will get the same red livery.
On the outside, each Ford Mustang GT Tickford Trans-Am will boast a prominent rear wing, a new radiator grille, round DRLs, and a classical logo at the front end, depicting a black mustang horse. The Ford barge will go away, the mirror caps will be painted black, and the rear end will gain stylish golden highlights.
The series will ship with 543 hp (405 kW) and 620 Nm (457 lb-ft) of torque under the hood. The Performance Plus version will offer a Roush-supercharged alternative with as much as 710 hp (529 kW). Those who would rather drive stick will have to make do with naturally aspirated and 511 hp / 380 kW, though.
The Performance version will additionally get Bendix brake discs, ceramic brake pads, and custom suspension (H&R or Eibach). Performance Plus will take advantage of six-piston Wilwood brakes on the front axle and 4-piston ones at the back.
Finally, the Performance Plus version has another major advantage, doubling as a free pass to a number of shows and rides organized by 79-year-old Allan Moffat.
