Custom Mustang Gets Game

Sony and Gran Turismo choose the mid-engine creation at SEMA as the winner that will appear as a playable car in an upcoming video game.

Originally a 1969 Mach 1, Eckert’s custom Mustang took three years to build. The goal behind the project was to transform the Mach 1 into a mid-engine supercar, so using parts from both a ’69 Mach 1 and a ’06 Ford GT, the 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 40 was born.

Power comes from a supercharged 5.4-liter V8 that was designed to be flex-fuel capable. Output ranges from 600 to 850 horsepower, adjustable via a dial inside the car. One strange element is the car’s suspension, which was borrowed from a C6 Corvette.

I wonder if this will be DLC for GT5 or if they're gonna hold onto it for the next game in the series..

Either way... sweet

I remember back in early 80's Dave Bean Engineering would modify the Lotus Turbo Espirit with a **** in the glove box to turn up the boost.
