DEARBORN, Mich., Oct. 29, 2018 – World champion drifter Vaughn Gittin Jr. and his RTR Vehicles team are working with Ford Performance to provide a definitive collaboration of style, performance and fun with the new Series 1 Mustang RTR Powered by Ford Performance – the latest addition to the Mustang family.
“Our goal was to take the driving and owner experience of the iconic Ford Mustang to the next level,” said Gittin, President and Chief Fun-Haver of RTR Vehicles. “This collaboration has created a Mustang that offers smile-inducing street driving, diverse capability on the track and a very distinctive owner experience for those looking to stand out from the crowd.”
The Series 1 Mustang RTR Powered by Ford Performance features RTR’s signature modern and aggressive styling. The Ford Performance suspension has adjustable sway bars that can change the chassis balance for either passive or MagneRide™ suspensions to suit twisty backroad driving, laying down lap times, drifting or blasting down a drag strip.
“Ford is bringing more Mustang magic to more customers than ever,” said Eric Cin, director, Vehicle Personalization and Accessories. “Vaughn is a great partner, bringing a new flare for Mustang to younger audiences through drifting and other exciting performance fueled fun – we can’t wait to see what he’ll do with this car.”
The Series 1 package, which will arrive in select Ford dealerships in early 2019, is designed to be installed at the dealer on any Mustang EcoBoost Performance Package 1 or Mustang GT Performance Package 1 model. It will come with a Ford factory limited warranty and Ford Credit financing for those who qualify.

EXTERIOR
When designing the 2019 Mustang RTR Spec 1 it was essential that each part on the vehicle would have a specific purpose. With keeping functionality in mind, there is also plenty of signature RTR style included in there RTR Package, starting with the iconic RTR Upper Grille with LED Lighting and Lower Grille.
Not only are these Grilles designed for style, they also increase air flow to the radiator for improved engine cooling and performance. All dealer-built RTR Spec Packages also include Dealer Only parts, badging, and graphics that set the Spec 1 apart from all others on the road.
Every Spec 1 includes RTR Tactical Performance Lowering Springs. The same springs offered on the Spec 2 package. These springs improve handling and performance through a lower center of gravity and progressive spring rate, giving the Spec 1 the perfect fitment for a set of RTR wheels.
The Spec 1 comes standard with a set of Matte Charcoal 19” RTR Tech 7’s wrapped with Nitto NT555 G2’s (275/40R19) but has an optional 20” RTR Tech 7 upgrade available at the time of purchase.
INTERIOR
Our goal with the Spec 1 package is to add a touch of the RTR style that accents the comfort and style already in place by Ford.
The Spec 1 package includes the black RTR Floor Mats featuring an embroidered RTR logo in the center of the floor mats. The RTR Floor Mats not only protect your car’s interior but add a touch of customization.
In addition to the Floor Mats, the factory Ford shift knob is replaced with a Black 6 Speed Shift Knob with our RTR logo engraving. RTR takes a clean and simple approach to customization
To complete the sleek, personalized style of the Mustang RTR each Spec 1 receives a serialized dash plaque that is personally autographed by Vaughn Gittin, Jr.
