Think of it as Steve McQueen’s Bullitt Mustang on steroids.

We first covered the 959-horsepower ’65 Fastback, known as “Espionage,” leading up to last year’s SEMA show, before the car made its official debut in Las Vegas.

But a recent report by Yahoo Autos provides some more info on the custom creation cooked up by the Ringbrothers. We’ve listed five of the most interesting features below (in addition to that 959-horsepower V8 engine) which help make this one of the Wisconsin-based shop’s coolest builds to date.

1. Each of the body panels on the “Espionage” are made entirely of carbon fiber

2. The Mustang’s carbon fiber body was widened by two inches on each side.

3. The Fastback’s 427ci Wegner Motorsports V8 features ported heads, a competition camshaft and crankshaft, as well as a 2.9-liter Whipple supercharger.

4. The official color of the Espionage is called “Spy Green.”

5. In addition to 959-horsepower, the Mustang also has 858 lb.-ft. of torque.
