The full time all wheel drive system sent 37% of the car’s power to the front wheels. Ferguson built these cars hoping to sell the technology to Ford, but Ford wasn’t interested in changing the Mustang’s design. The system would later be repurposed for use in the Jensen Interceptor, but no more Mustangs were built. There is only one known surviving example of the Ferguson Mustang, and it now lives at the Tampa Bay Automotive Museum. The 1998 Super Stallion was a one-off racing Mustang that could truly be called ahead of its time. It featured unique carbon fiber trim, inboard independent rear suspension, and big slotted Brembo brakes. The Super Stallion was powered by a supercharged 5.4L DOHC V8. The same engine that would later be used for the Ford GT. This powerplant reportedly put down 595 Horsepower on E85, and could rocket the car to 60 miles an hour in under 4 seconds. Although no production version of the Super Stallion was ever released, the car had a clear technological influence on Mustangs designed over 15 years later. The Mustang Mach III is kind of an ugly duckling on this list. Ford wanted to give the public a taste of what the 4th gen Mustang would be, so the designers were reportedly told to make the car look like a Ford Probe that got attacked by a swarm of angry bees. It looks a little extreme, to say the least, but some of styling cues did actually make it into the SN95, and the Mach III was the first model to ditch the old 302, in favor of a Modular V8. Let’s get into a car that actually make it into production, the Mustang SVO. The SVO got a turbocharged version the old 2.3L Pinto 4 cylinder that made 200 horsepower. Bear in mind that at this, time the V8 Mustang only made 150 horsepower. Despite being the top performer of any Mustang model in its time. The SVO seems to be completely unloved today. Maybe because it doesn’t have the romance of a V8 engine, or maybe because the turbo motors are known for spotty reliability. Onto something from this century. The Shelby Terlingua Mustang was created in 2006 to mimic the styling of Carroll Shelby’s personal GT350R, that he raced way back in the day for the Terlingua racing team. Instead of Shelby’s classic Cobra motif, the Terlingua is emblazoned with paintings of cute little bunny rabbits. Not exactly macho. Ford’s anemic 4L V6 gets a supercharger in the Terlingua. Boosting power to 375. It’s fun to fill a specific niche, but I’m not really sure who this car was made for. There can’t be that many people who are willing to dump a wad of cash into their base model Mustang. The Giugiaro Mustang was created as a concept by Italian design firm Italdesign Giugiaro. It has a strangely
