Mustang Revenge GT: Worth Its Insane $139K Asking Price?
Peregrine’s Mustang Revenge GT stands out from a crowded beach lot thanks to its custom carbon-fiber body.
Mustang fans have an incredible array of options when it comes to not just aftermarket parts, but also turnkey cars. Roush, Shelby, Saleen, RTR, and Lebanon Ford are just a few outfits that’ll happily sell you a custom hi-po Mustang with just about any option you could possibly want. But those cars typically feature a host of bolt-ons. They aren’t really anything you can’t recreate yourself with a little cash and an internet connection. On the other hand, Peregrine Automotive’s Mustang Revenge GT is essentially a hand-built hypercar version of our favorite pony.
The Mustang Source recently caught a very green Revenge GT on display at Supercars by the Sea in Huntington Beach, California, and it got us thinking. Is this insane creation really worth its $139,000 asking price, plus the cost of a donor Mustang? And the answer is, well, probably. First, we must consider the immense amount of work that goes into transforming an average, run-of-the-mill pony into a one-off performance machine.
The idea behind the Revenge GT was to create the ultimate Mustang. A car that could compete with the world’s best supercars from the likes of Ferrari, Porsche, and Lamborghini. That process started with the design of an entirely new body constructed from lightweight carbon fiber. While it may look like a modified Mustang body at first glance, it is in fact an entirely new shell. The only stock parts that remain are the roof, doors, and decklid. From there, customers can choose to paint the car any color they want. Obviously, none of this is cheap work.
Then there’s the performance element of the Revenge GT. Under the hood, Peregrine installs a Stage 2 Whipple supercharger, Kooks long tube headers, and a carbon fiber driveshaft. Output comes in at over 800 horsepower at the wheels on pump gas. Massive 6-piston front/4-piston rear Brembo brakes help slow it down. And the Revenge GT rolls on one-off 20×10.5 inch and 20×12 inch Forgeline wheels wrapped in 295/35 and 345/30 Michelin Pilot Sport 4S rubber.
Moving underneath, the suspension is treated to a host of upgrades. They include lowering springs, an additional K-member brace, vertical links, subframe support braces, rear toe links, bushing support and upgrade, and bigger front and rear sway bars. Even the interior receives custom leather with unique stitching.
Peregrine’s Mustang Revenge GT is certainly a comprehensive package, and an attractive one to boot. And sure, you could replicate the entire car, minus its body, for far less money. But the appeal here is that you’re buying a car with a complete custom design. It’s also limited to 35 coupes and 15 convertibles, almost guaranteeing you won’t pass another one on the road. And that exclusivity makes the car’s lofty price tag worth it for some.
