SEMA: ‘The Magnificent Seven’ 2018 Ford Mustang Concepts
Seven different concepts ranging from mild to wild, and even a badass-looking cop car are headed to SEMA. But which one’s best?
The 2018 Mustang is making waves on social media ahead of its arrival in US dealerships. Ford couldn’t pass up the chance to show it off at the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show in Las Vegas early next month.
Ford has dubbed the set of pony cars “The Magnificent Seven” because there are, well, seven Mustangs. Each one of them has been designed with unique interpretations of power and performance, and with the intention of catering to individual audiences within the legions of Mustang lovers worldwide.
The custom-built, wide-body Roush Mustang you see above borrows its styling cues from the historic 1970 Boss 429. Finished in the commemorative hue of Ford’s Grabber Green, the Roush has an all new 2018 Mustang body kit in conjunction with a custom wide-body kit. It’s equipped with a cold-air intake, active quad tip exhaust with x-pipe, air gobbler ram air with Stratasys function hood scoop, and custom exhaust tips.
Overcoming Physics
Reaching 200 mph is no easy feat. It’s a number that few people get to experience on land. This redesigned 2018 Mustang Fastback is a perfect starting point to reach our goal. Implementing aerodynamics, reducing drag, and increasing power is the name of the game, and this Mustang will reach top speeds while the air conditioning is cranking. It’s equipped with a Hellion twin turbo kit, Mishimoto radiator, transmission cooler, and oil cooler, tuned by HP Tuners, G-Force driveshaft and rear axles, DEI exhaust wrap, Ford Performance by Borla exhaust.
Classic American Roadster
This 2018 Ford Mustang GT Convertible features the best of both worlds, with modern performance and powertrain options such as carbon fiber aero touches and updated suspension and powertrain enhancements. The classic American roadster theme is evoked with handmade trim, brushed aluminum accents, and an all-leather Bomber Brown interior. This striking automobile features a carbon fiber roll bar with aluminum trim. The tonneau cover is a modern throwback to classic speedsters and racecars from the 1930’s.
Power-Packed Mustang Fastback
This DeBerti Design Mustang was designed by professional racer Brad Deberti, who brings a new level of modern muscle to a 2018 Ford Mustang GT. The body was widened to fit Mickey Thompson 18-inch wide rear tires. The hood was specially designed to tie in both old and new muscle. Looking at this Mustang from any direction brings out a feeling of what it would be like to go fast in style.
Aerodynamically Sleek Meets Advanced Technology
This 2018 Mustang Fastback styled by Air Design gives owners more ways to customize their Mustang. Backed by Air Design’s long history of innovative, easy-to-install sleek designs, the vehicle features pieces that are expressly designed and crafted for their interchangeability. The full body kit includes a front bumper replacement, side skirts, a rear lower skirt, fender vents, and aggressive rear wing, as well as Ford Licensed Accessories hood, window, and side scoops.
Guardian with a Global Purpose
Created by DRAGG, a non-profit youth-oriented automotive after-school program, this 2018 Ford Mustang EcoBoost is a philanthropic speedster. DRAGG (Drag Racing Against Gangs and Graffiti) created a uniquely custom Guardian themed police vehicle with this 2018 Ford Mustang EcoBoost, taking an ordinary street vehicle to an extraordinary one of a kind, ecofriendly, custom-service vehicle with a global purpose. The Guardian Mustang symbolizes the commitment of the police to the communities they serve.
Customized Convertible
This 2018 Ford Mustang Convertible by MAD Industries enhances Mustang’s aggressive new look with dramatic eye appeal for a dynamic top-down adventure. This world class luxury sports car is outfitted with staggered 20-inch Niche Staccato Wheels. APR Carbon Fiber Drag Wing provides the downforce and an aggressive look. A retuned 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine with Ford Performance intake and exhaust enhance power. Inside, the cockpit artfully blends white details from the exterior theme and Braum Elite-X Series Racing bucket seats detailed with white stitching.
