Voracious Mustang Hunts for Supercars at European Rally

Voracious Mustang Hunts for Supercars at European Rally

Runball Rally One Day Tour gets a brutal taste of real American Muscle with savage roars from an Alpha One widebody S550.

The scariest story ever told about the Mustang to date has been the front-wheel drive Mustang that could have been. Thankfully, it was the Mustang that never was, becoming the Ford Probe instead. That’s not to say our favorite pony car can’t be scary for other reasons.

YouTube channel Gumbal recently caught up with a few participants at the first annual Runball Rally One Day Tour, which did a lap between Lembeke, Belgium and Zeeland, Netherlands in a single day. One of those participants happened to be a bloodied Mustang with multiple severed limbs in its grill.

All of it was fake, of course, but what isn’t fake is the very real Alpha ONE S550 widebody kit from Alphamale Performance. Draped in black, the kit brings a major shot of testosterone to the Mustang, while the air-ride suspension up front raises the front carbon fiber splitter to clear the hump in the road in Zeeland.

On its way back to Belgium, the widebody Stang stopped to let its 5.0-liter V8 smoke the rear meats among a group of bicyclists parked off the side. You certainly couldn’t get a black mark on the asphalt like the one the beastly pony left with pedal power alone.

The Runball Rally One Day Tour route took one and all through a few tolls, too. We bet the sight of a bloody, throaty widebody Stang with arms and legs tucked neatly in the grill scared more than a few toll collectors for the few seconds it took for the owner to pay the fare.

When it comes to Stangs, this widebody is the alpha male of Europe’s highways. And pretty much anywhere it goes.
